Islamic-Based Educational Leadership, Administration and Management

Rezensionen / Stimmen

Arar, Sawalhi, DeCuir and Amatullah have expertly gathered scholars from around the world to examine Islamic based educational leadership from multiple perspectives. In doing so, they've uncovered critical insights that transcend entrenched socio-cultural and political boundaries, showing readers that there is no 'typical' Islamic educational leader. This must-read book reveals the remarkable diversity within 'Islam-based educational leadership' and the extraordinary impact the world's fastest growing religion has on leading schools. It is not to be missed!

A unique and timely collection of articles from across the globe, unveiling the essential tenets of Islamic-based educational leadership and administration while recognising the contextual variations and resulting practices. The four guiding elements can be a starting point for further developing a field of knowledge currently skewed towards Western conceptualisations.

This co-edited volume introduces a novel concept, Islam-based educational leadership, as a way to conceptualize the current state of educational leadership practices pertinent to Muslims and Islam. Moreover, the authors ungird this type of leadership in community-informed religious knowledge and practices that decree social justice. This text is a unique and valuable contribution to the field.
