Servant Leadership Through an Islamic Perspective: From Khidmah to Ihsan invites readers to rediscover leadership as an act of worship and moral responsibility, rooted in humility, service, and excellence before God. Rather than treating leadership as power, status, or control, this book reframes it through timeless Islamic principles such as khidmah (selfless service), amanah (trust), shura (consultation), adl (justice), rahmah (compassion), and ihsan (striving for excellence).

Drawing from Qur'anic guidance, Prophetic example, classical scholarship, and contemporary challenges, it offers a practical roadmap for Muslims who lead in any capacity-within families, masjids, community organizations, workplaces, and social movements. Each chapter connects spiritual principles with real-life situations, exploring how to purify intention, resist ego-driven leadership, navigate conflict with dignity, and make decisions that honor both people and values.

At the same time, the book speaks beyond a single faith community. By highlighting universal virtues-service, integrity, accountability, and compassion-it provides a thoughtful framework that leaders from all faith traditions, as well as nonprofit and community-based organizations, can adapt to their own contexts.

With reflective questions, case examples, and concrete tools, Servant Leadership Through an Islamic Perspective helps readers move from simply ""getting things done"" to leading hearts, nurturing trust, and building institutions grounded in ethics and care. From khidmah to ihsan, it calls every reader to lead by serving and to transform ordinary roles into opportunities for deep spiritual growth and lasting social impact.
