Abstract

This article highlights the relevance of Prophet Muhammad's leadership values in addressing modern leadership challenges, such as moral crises, corruption, and authoritarian tendencies. The study aims to analyze how the principles of transparency, accountability, and ethics demonstrated by Prophet Muhammad can be applied in contemporary leadership contexts, including government, organizations, and business sectors. The method used is a literature review and analysis of Prophet Muhammad's leadership concepts, then aligned with the needs of modern leadership. The results of this study show that applying ethical leadership values can help resolve trust deficits and injustices in society, particularly by fostering a culture of transparency and accountability. Additionally, strategies for enhancing ethical leadership in the corporate world and education are crucial for shaping future leaders with integrity. Implementing Prophet Muhammad's leadership values, such as honesty, justice, simplicity, and public participation, is proven to be relevant and effective in addressing various global challenges while offering sustainable solutions. The article recommends developing leadership education programs based on values and enhancing public accountability mechanisms as concrete steps to improve leadership systems across different sectors.
