International Conference on Islamic Leadership-2 (iCiL-2) 2012

Kajian kepimpinan menerusi kebanyakan sorotan kepustakaan memaparkan perkembangan yang memerlukan penyelidikan lanjutan. Ini kerana walaupun topik kepimpinan hangat diperbincangkan oleh penyelidik dalam pelbagai disiplin ilmu, ianya masih belum menemukan satu kesimpulan yang konkrit. Salah satu bidang keutamaannya ialah kepimpinan dalam konteks budaya Islam. Kepimpinan dalam Islam adalah unik, dinamik, malah merentasi masa, zaman serta budaya. Ini kerana dalam tamadun tradisional dan moden, Islam tetap diiktiraf sebagai satu sistem cara hidup (al-Din) komprehensifyang merangkumi pelbagai aspek kehidupan. Buktinya, bermula dengan siri-siri wacana kepimpinan dari perspektif Islam yang dibahaskan, akhirnya membentuk gagasan kepimpinan Islam yang tersendiri. Namun demikian, gagasan kepimpinan Islam termasuk kepimpinan sedia ada sedang menghadapi cabaran dunia globalisasi dipelbagai peringkat dalam usaha mempertingkatkan kualiti kemanusiaan dan tamadun ke arah yang lebih sempurna. Kemunculan beberapa istilah seperti pengurusan saintifik, pengurusan kualiti, produktiviti, kreativiti, inovasi dan sebagainya sedikit sebanyak memberi impak terhadap sistem kepimpinan itu sendiri. Justeru, tulisan ini cuba menganalisis kepimpinan dalam Islam dari kaca mata kualiti dun produktiviti dengan merujuk kepada sumber autentik dalam Islam serta sorotan kepustakaan yang berkaitan. Ini menunjukkan bahawa Islam mempunyaipendekatan unikdalam mengkaji hubungkait di antara aspek kepimpinan, kualiti dan produktiviti, sekaligus tidak menajikan kepentingan elemen-elemen pembaharuan dan penambahbaikan bagi menjamin kesejahteraan manusia dun persekitarannya.

Managing organization is associated with leadership as it also manages the social system in that organization and other compartments of division. Leadership alone does not assure that an organization may operate successfully unless there is smooth flow of communication. Communication is the biggest challenge in an organization because it involves going beyond mediated or un-mediated channels. The variation of authority level in management might affect the flow and the exposure of communication among members of the organization. The fear of being isolated for giving any opinion is another thing that still happens in our Islamic organization. The bonding of each member is far away from the value of 'Ukhuwwah 'while there are in existence groups in the organization that try to differentiate each other by name calling or status and some organizations are still seeking unlawful revenues which contradict the Islamic ways of organizational leadership. These are the obstructions that might hinder the development of Islamic leadership in our country. Thus, this paper attempts to discuss the challenges in the development of Islamic leadership and to offer some resolutions that the organization might implement.

Kota Depok merupakan salah satu kota di Indonesia yang dicanangkan sebagai kota layak anak. Di balik program pencanangan tersebut, ternyata masih banyak anak-anak jalanan yang bertebaran di berbagai tempat. Anak-anak jalanan tersebut sering dan banyak terlihat di berbagai pusat perbelanjaan, terminal, stasiun, dan tempat-tempat keramaian lainnya, termasuk di Kampus Universitas Indonesia. Banyak sekali aktivitas yang mereka lakukan setiap harinya, ada yang bejualan koran, berjualan tisu, hingga berjualan makanan. Selain itu, masih banyak kasus kekerasan yang dilakukan terhadap anak dan tindakan-tindakan kriminal yang dilakukan oleh anak. Oleh karena itu, masih diperlukan usaha keras untuk mewujudkan Kota Depok sebagai kota layak anak. Chamber of innovation merupakan sarana bagi anak jalanan untuk belajar dan berinovasi dalam berbagai bidang keterampilan. Di dalam program pendidikan ini, anak-anak jalanan akan diajari bagaimana cara membuat kerajinan khususnya yang terbuat dari bahan bekas, seperti membuat tempat pensil, tempat tisu, dan vas bunga dari bubur kertas. Kegiatan lain adalah pengajaran di luar kelas untuk berinteraksi dengan masyarakat sebagaimana mestinya. Selain itu, ada kegiatan outbond anak jalanan juga menjadi sarana pembinaan karakter seorang anak. Melalui kegiatan outbond tersebut, anak-anak jalanan juga tidak akan melewatkan usia mereka untuk bergaul dan memanfaatkan waktu sebagimana anak-anak pada umumnya. Selain pendidikan dan pemberian keterampilan, Chamber of Innovation juga memberikan pengawasan perkembangan seorang anak, baik dari segi kemampuan maupun kepribadian. Diharapkan melalui kegiatan Chamber of Innovation ini tindakan kekerasan, eksploitasi, dan kriminalitas yang dilakukan oleh anak akan semakin berkurang. Jika kegiata ini berhasil, program perencanaan Kota Depok sebagai kota layak anak dapat tenwujud dengan semestinya.

The purpose of this research is to explore and examine the similarities and differences between the concepts of Servant Leadership (S-L) and Islamic Leadership (I-L) through identifying the characteristics of both concepts as represented in the literature. Data,for analysis were collected from three major secondary sources: the literature of Islamic Leadership (I-L), Servant Leadership (S-L), and General Leadership (G-L). The result of an approach based on hermeneutics and content analysis revealed that the concept of Servant Leadership (S-L) accords with Islamic Leadership (I-L) particularly in the aspect of how both of the concepts focus on the aspect ethical leadership. Moreover; based on the nineteen clusters of Islamic Leadership (I-L) designed to examine the ten characteristics of Servant Leadership (S-L) in the open and axial coding process, this research found that the ten characteristics of S-L accord with the nineteen clusters, except in five clusters: justice and equity; profit-orientation; moderation and balance; spiritual, religious, faith in God and piety; and coerciveness under certain circumstances with limitations. The differences have suggested that in general the literature of Servant Leadership (S-L) should be enriched with more ideas pertaining to other aspects of leadership, for example Islamic Leadership (I-L) besides those to do with organisational leadership, while the literature of Islamic Leadership (I-L) should be enriched with more information pertaining to contemporary leadership processes and contexts.

This article will focus on conceptions of leadership amongst muslim thinkers. Ideas of leadership not management will be explored in this article. Preference would be given towards the turath especially al-Farabi, Ibn Sina and Ibn Khaldun. Questions: Has muslim thinkers devised a certain way of thinking about leadership and its models that would then be applied at their particular time and context? Is there or are there conceptual models based solely upon the teachings of the Prophet or more dynamic in the sense that each of these models are open-ended which are wholly determined by various sociopolitical considerations? An analysis of muslim thinkers closer to our period would also be undertaken. Notably Muhammad Iqbal, Seyyed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas. It is believed that such leadership values are to be rooted within a particular understanding of the universe and the subject, thus a particular worldview which is based upon Islam. Ideas dealing with values and concepts are intertwined when discussing worldviews and leadership which is based upon such an idea. Were the muslim thinkers working within such a framework or was it more of an open-ended system? This is an interesting question in itself and would help further in locating and situating the ideas of values and its discussion in the wider field of Islamic thought and philosophy. Instead of the usual descriptive method normally employed, a more dynamic way would be used where conceptions are discussed vis a vis the thinkers involved/selected. In the end hopefully we would be able to answer some of the questions we initially set out to answer: The paper forms apart of an ongoing research on conceptions of leadership in Islam.

Islam is a religion that has been marked by human civilization. The reality shows the researcher and scientist, that Islamic civilization derived all its components, and elements of its existence, and the reasons for development and prosperity of Islam. This fact coupled with a suitable and favorable culture of seeking knowledge, resulted in the flourish and growth in all disciplines of science. In addition to that, many Caliphs strives to create a conducive environment for scholars and scientists to work, and rewarded innovative scholars generously. This paper will examine the evolution of Al-Razi to the modern science being the first physician in human history who described in details the symptoms and signs of smallpox and measles based on clinical examination, and he was the,first who distinguished between these two diseases by putting what is called now the differential diagnosis. This paper will focus on Al-Razi h Book on Smallpox and Measles (Kitab al-Jadari wa 'I-Hasba), the Scientific Value of the Book, how the smallpox and measles diseases were dealt with by a/-Razi in several of his medical works, as shown in Al-Hawi fi '1-Tibb, A treatise on pediatric diseases (Risala fi amradh al-aftal wa 'I- 'ianaya bhihim), and the effect of al-Razi concepts related to smallpox and measles on the physicians after him. Finally, this paper will show the great impact of Muslim scholars in evolution of Modern science.

The major difference that separates the survivors and perishers in human society is how the critical issue of "change " - which is the only constant in our lives - is being managed. Those that succeeded in managing "change" and constantly improving themselves, will proceed further and progress, while others who slumbers oblivious to the changing environment, will be left behind. Central to the progress and modernization of societies and civilizations as they meander the vicissitudes of life, is the ability and willingness to embrace the principal catalyst,for change, namely, "creativity and innovation". In the context of ASEAN, against the backdrop of a rapidly globalizing world environment, new knowledge and new ideas, together with.fresh and bold approaches are required to enable the ASEAN community to stay ahead and progress. It is here that Muslim scholars and intellectuals in this region can and should exercise some leadership in this matter. They should spur the governments and peoples of ASEAN to accord greater focus and emphasis on the pertinent issue of "creativity and innovation" in all aspects of their endeavors, including in socio-politics. In this latter regard, these scholars (ulama, especially mujtahid) have a role in articulating socio-political issues that are not only in sync with the Islamic governing and development paradigms but also offer alternative ideas and approaches that can complement existing approaches to ASEAN's nation building agendas and programmes. For this particular Paper on socio-politics, our attention will be devoted towards discussing the role of Muslim scholars in helping to bolster.further ASEANk effectiveness in general, and in urgently calling for reforms (read: creativity and innovation) in Governance, Ideology, and Education in particular.

Firstly this paper oversees the nature of entrepreneurship and its development through Islamic teaching and history. Secondly it discusses current condition in Islamic countries regarding their economic performance, cooperation and ,further challenges.

Higher education institutions in Muslim-majority countries are expected to initiate Islamic entrepreneurship through their curricula to prepare young entrepreneur Muslim generations that could give direct contributions to stimulate business.
