INTRODUCTIONS The basic Islamic teaching about man is that the mission of humankind in this world is only to worship Allah and be HIS vicegerents to this Earth by submitting to His will (Jabnoun, 2005). As stated in Al-Qur‟an: 56. and I did not create jinn and mankind except only to worship Me > dan aku tidak menciptakan jin dan manusia melainkan supaya mereka mengabdi kepada-Ku (Q.S Adz-Dzariyaat [51]: 56). Allah SWT has created man to be leader (kholifah) on the Earth. As a leader man has duties to preserve, care, develop and nurture the Earth and its potentials for the shake of human and other creature‟s welfare and happyness (As-Suwaidan dan Basyarahil, 2009, hal.215-216 ). In the Holly Al-Qur‟an Allah SWT stated that: Page | 16 Novelty Journals ISSN 2394-9716 International Journal of Novel Research in Interdisciplinary Studies Vol. 6, Issue 5, pp: (16-25), Month: September - October 2019, Available at: www.noveltyjournals.com 30. Behold, when your Lord said to the angels: “I will create a leader on the Earth” - ingatlah ketika Tuhanmu berfirman kepada Para Malaikat: "Sesungguhnya aku hendak menjadikan seorang khalifah di muka bumi." (Al-Qur‟an: S. Al-Baqoroh [2]:30) and : 61. “…. HE had created you from earth (Clay) and making you as it prosperous - Dia telah menciptakan kamu dari bumi (tanah) dan menjadikan kamu pemakmurnya[726], " (Al-Qur‟an: S. Huud [12]:61) [726] Meaning: Man is inhabiting the world to and to prosper the world - Maksudnya: manusia dijadikan penghuni dunia untuk menguasai dan memakmurkan dunia. According to Islam, man had an agreement to lead on Earth before he was sent to it (Chodim, 2003. P.95). Men‟s duties on Earth is to lead, to manage, to develop, and to care, not to overexplored or to destroy the Earth and its content (As- Suwaidan and Basyarahil, 2009, hal.215-216 ), Manager is dinamic element and life of every business (Drucker, 1954/1979. in Sheldrake, 2003). but Maslow (1943) in Sheldrake (2003) stated that human is animal who continously wanting which mean wanting more monopolize conciusness. So, when there is human who does not pay attentions and guard the goodness on Earth, then that men can be said as unethical managers according to religious view or according to social and Law. Ethical behavior in business has not yet being stadardized (Bertens, 2000; hal. 384; Kim, Fisher, and McCalman, 2009), but for the time being to judge ethics in business is that bind to the law and follow the good norms in society and good according to the religion (Beekun, 1996; Bertens, 2000; Fauroni, 2003; Kim, Fisher, and McCalman., 2009). then Imaniati, (2009; hal.248-255) propose 5 (five) principal in business ethics that are: otonomy, honesty, good conduct / not being evil, justice, and self respect. This five principal based on philosophical view of „respect to the man as a person‟ which is in this view human in business are good person, as a being who valuable to himself. In the Islamic contecs, business which is in ethics will have Khayr / khoir (goodness), birr (truth/honesty), qist (equal), adl / adil (justice/balance), haqq (right), ma’ruf (known /agreed), dan taqwa (iman/obey/bind) (Beekun, 1996). Looking to the above consepts, unethical behavior in business can be devine as: theft, forgery, lying, poisoning, corruption (Norman, Roux, and B`elanger, 2008), KKN (corrupt, collusion, and Nepotism) (Arifin, 2008), lying (Umphress, Ren, Bingham, and Gogus, 2009), piracy (Wang, Chen, Yang, and Farn, 2009), theft (Mitchell, Ballabanis, Schlegelmilch, and Cornwell, 2009), not honest (Kidwell and Valentine, 2008), and Cheating (Jia, Ding, Li, and Wu, 2009), far more Fauroni (2003) stated that according islamic teaching unethical business is having element of evil, mean, destructive, in small or at large, hiding or obvious. Islamic teaching forbid cheating, and it clearly stated in the holy book of Al-Qur‟an Surat Al-Muthaffifin[830]: ayat 1-6, as follow: Page | 17 Novelty Journals ISSN 2394-9716 International Journal of Novel Research in Interdisciplinary Studies Vol. 6, Issue 5, pp: (16-25), Month: September - October 2019, Available at: www.noveltyjournals.com 1. kecelakaan besarlah bagi orang-orang yang curang[1561], 2. (yaitu) orang-orang yang apabila menerima takaran dari orang lain mereka minta dipenuhi, 3. dan apabila mereka menakar atau menimbang untuk orang lain, mereka mengurangi. 4. tidaklah orang-orang itu menyangka, bahwa Sesungguhnya mereka akan dibangkitkan, 5. pada suatu hari yang besar, 6. (yaitu) hari (ketika) manu-sia berdiri menghadap Tuhan semesta alam? [1561] Yang dimaksud dengan orang-orang yang curang di sini ialah orang-orang yang curang dalam menakar dan menimbang. Good and ethical businessmen will always uphold the rule and norms. Good Business has meaning of morality and business has to be ethical for its own purposes (Bertens, 2000, p.377 & 387). Althought business ethics have widely known, the islamic teaching of ethics in business sometime misunderstood and not known by managers. Most management, and management scientist, thinks that Islam does not have anything in building business ethics in management. They tend to think that good business ethics came from the western society (US, Europe), and ignoring the teaching of ethical value of Islam and the East. The idea of this paper is to contribute an array of perpective on what Islamic business ethics might possibly influence to the management and leadership in decision making process within business economics. By Islamic business ethics is mean the islamic teaching that guide the behaviour of people or organization on business management. The study was designed to answer a question of how does the implementation of Islamic business ethics in management. The method used in this paper is qualitatif descriptive with philosophycal inquiry approach and critical theory paradigm (Salladien. 2007). Firs we review the devinision of business ethics and theoretical scolarly writing on business ethics. Second we dug the islamic teaching on ethics and business. Third we discuss relationship between business ethics and islamic teaching on business management, then we concluded the paper. 2. BUSINESS ETHICS The word “Etics” according to Oxford Advanced Learner‟s Dictionary (2005) mean moral principles that control or influence a person‟s behaviour. Taylor (1975) in Tseng, Duan, Tung, and Kung, (2009) devine ethics as “inquiry into the nature and grounds of morality” where the terms morality is taken to mean moral judgement, standards, and rules of conduct. Combine the devinition of “ethics” Tseng et al. (2009) view the word “ethics” as the study and philosophy of human conduct with an emphasis on the determination of right or wrong. Beekun (1996) devine ethics as the set of moral principles that distinguish what is right from what is wrong. For Muslim society (people who embrace Islam religion) they believes that the holy book Al-Qur‟an, Sunnah – behavior, and Hadist – speech- of the prophet Muhammad S.A.W., and Syari’ah (Islamic law) give every answer for ethical questions and guidance to ethical behavior (Rise, 2006; and Abbasi et al., 1989, in Tsalikis, and Lassar, 2009).. Ethical feeling is devined as a set of moral principal or value that bound societies together ( Donaldson, 2003; Rodgers, 2009; Rodgers &Gago, 2001; in Rodgers, 2009). Utilitarian theory in ethics stated that a behavior is good if its useful to society as a whole, ethics in deontologi theory stated that a behavior is good if it is serve a duty. (Bertens, 2000, hal.66-80). The word “business” in english, according to Oxford Advanced Learner‟s Dictionary (2005) mean the activity of making, buying, selling, or supplying goods or services for money. Rise (1999) in Tsalikis and Lassar (2009) stated that Islam views business as social functions which is very usefull and prophet Muhammad (Peace upon him) himself involve in trading world, but the individual profit is not main motivation in islamic law.

  • Who Can Be a Wali?
    Guardianship اﻟوﻻﯾﺔ ﻓﻲ اﻹﺳﻼم Guardianship in Islam 1 | Page Guardianship In The Name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful All praise is for Allah. We praise Him and seek assistance in Him and seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil in of our own selves. Whomever Allah guides, there is none to misguide and whomever He leads astray, there is none to guide him a right. I openly bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped except Allah alone without any partners and I bear witness that Muhammad is His Messenger. 2 | Page Guardianship INTRODUCTION: The woman in Islam is a very unique and delicate part of the Muslim community. Allah distinguished her from the male species giving her a separate realm in which she should be dealt with: “And the male is not like the female” (3:36) It is imperative for men to understand this so that they fall into trying to change the woman into something that she is not. Event the Sharee’ah (legislation) of Islam has adjusted some of the religious tenets and obligations to accommodate the feminine nature of the woman such as; One: Placing the financial burden of the family on the shoulders of the man, as Allah says: “The men are the protectors and maintainers of the women because of the strength which Allah has given one of them over the other and because the men spend from their wealth…” (4:34) Two: Alleviating the physical burden of jihad from the women and directing their attention and energy to more important aspects of the religion that are commensurate with her delicate nature.

  • Evaluation of Leadership in the Light of Islamic Values: a Systems Psychodynamic Approach
    Evaluation of Leadership in the light of Islamic values: a Systems Psychodynamic Approach 1 Abstract The purpose of this research is to present the idea/view of leadership from a psychodynamic Islamic perspective. It seeks to provide the similarities between the western theories and models of leadership and Islamic leadership perspectives. This research also aims to produce an understanding and a basic model of Islamic leadership which can be integrated by Muslim and Non-Muslim leaders around the globe for successful leadership practices. A primary research has been conducted to gain insights about factors that make Islamic leadership an advantageous choice to be taken up. Based on the input given by highly qualified Islamic and business respondents, a relevant Islamic leadership context has been suggested. The results of this research presented that Islamic leadership while not very different from aspects of servant, transformational and transactional leadership styles; has a significant and deeper moral and ethical presence in its foundation. Its spiritual and religious elements make the leader more responsible towards their actions as they believe that they will be responsible to God for their actions. Leaders around the globe can easily integrate aspects of Islamic leadership in their way of leading in order to be more just and successful. Finally, the research offers a genuine insight in to the leadership practices from an Islamic perspective and provides the similarities with the current modern world leadership theories which will also inspire global leaders to integrate various aspects of Islamic leadership practices in their own leadership styles. The study presents the limitations and future direction for further research to have a more detailed and easily applicable Islamic leadership model.
