Abstract

Ethics and Islamic values play a fundamental role in the management of organizations, and their absence can lead to serious issues such as administrative corruption and financial misconduct. From an Islamic perspective, ethical principles and moral values are crucial in guiding human behavior, and the Holy Quran and Hadiths emphasize the importance of adhering to these principles. These values can also be applied in organizational management to improve performance and efficiency. Given the above considerations, this study aims to "identify the dimensions and components of professional ethics in Islamic management based on the Holy Quran." Through a library-based review of Quranic verses and utilizing thematic analysis, it was concluded that the dimensions and components of professional ethics in Islamic management include 84 basic themes, 22 organizing themes, and 5 overarching themes. These themes encompass fundamental values (honesty and truthfulness, loyalty and commitment, justice, responsibility, piety and righteousness), religious values (faith in God, obedience to God, prayer and worship, gratitude, jihad and struggle), social values (respect, cooperation and solidarity, peace and patience, benevolence and charity), individual values (courage and decisiveness, moderation and temperance, good character and tolerance, avoidance of vices, patience and perseverance, self-control), and participatory values (consultation and participation, forgiveness and pardon).
