This review article delves into the Islamic perspective on leadership, emphasizing its inclusive nature and universal relevance. Drawing from the foundational principles outlined in the Quran and the exemplary life of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), the article explores key qualities expected of leaders, including character, sincerity, and selflessness. Practical applications of Islamic leadership principles examined in various spheres of contemporary life, from family dynamics to the broader domains of the workplace and community. Ethical dilemmas and challenges faced by leaders find guidance in Islamic teachings, serving as a moral compass. The article concludes by inspiring individuals from all backgrounds to recognize their innate potential as leaders and contribute to a more equitable and enlightened society, guided by the profound perspective of Islamic leadership.
