Introduction – Prophet Muhammad’s (pbuh) Islamic Values Based Leadership

Blog Series: The Prophet Muhammad’s Islamic Values Driven Leadership – Introduction

This Blog Series explores the Prophet Muhammad’s Islamic value driven leadership, and is based on my Master’s Degree in Islamic Studies research, at ISRA’s Centre for Islamic Studies & Civilisation, Charles Sturt University.

Introduction

Immersed in centuries of conflict and barbarism, the Arabian peninsula in the 6th century was one of most backward societies in the world; intellectually, spiritually, socially, politically, ethically and morally. 

Yet, in under 23 years under the leadership of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), emerged a powerfully unified, civilised nation that produced one of the greatest civilisations in history, with world leaders in culture, arts, sciences, scholarship and trade. 

The key factors that contributed to these extraordinary results will be explored in this 4 part blog series, of the Prophet  Muhammad’s value driven leadership approach that led to the rapid and long lasting creation of an Islamic civilisation. They were:

Blog/Part 1 – His moral & ethical teachings 

Blog/Part 2 – His faith ritualised actions and practices 

Blog/Part 3 – His justice with equality policies

Blog/Part 4 – His peace-making, unification ability & leadership efficacy
