Social Ethics
Level 6: Ethical Power and Leadership
Outline only
Power is a test, and leadership is a trust. In Islam, leadership is not a privilege to enjoy, but a responsibility to fulfill with justice, humility, and service. Whether you’re leading a classroom, a team, a household, or a nation, the ethical use of power is one of the most serious duties in our faith.
This level explores how Islam teaches us to lead with adab, integrity, and accountability, drawing from the example of the Prophet ﷺ and the rightly guided caliphs. It also addresses the dangers of arrogance, corruption, and abuse of power, and how to avoid them.
By the end of this level, students will see that true leadership is not about control: it’s about serving others while remaining deeply connected to Allah and committed to justice.
Planned: 5 modules, 25 units, 75 lesson titles.
Outline: the course plan comes from our founder's curriculum, and lessons are being written and reviewed. Module, unit, and lesson titles appear here once scholars have reviewed a level.
