Abstract

The primary purpose of this paper is to demonstrate some key parallels between modern management, good governance and Islamic teachings. This view would promote appreciation of Islamic management and governance thought in the world, in general, and good management and governance practices in the Muslim world, in particular. The paper also aims at highlighting Islam’s contribution to management and governance thought and practice. It, therefore, attempts to favourably influence world opinion about Islam’s true teachings. This paper emphasizes the universal applicability of true Islamic teachings and can, therefore, be used to promote greater understanding of ethics, morality, justice and responsibility to stakeholders in micro and macro level organizations in the world, in general, and in the Muslim part of the world, in particular. This will, in turn, foster convergence in the world instead of polarization that the world is currently headed towards.
