Abstract

This concept paper aims to explore the principles of governance as outlined in the Quran and their roles in eradicating corruption, particularly in the context of developing and Muslim-majority countries. By reviewing existing literature and analyzing the performance of Malaysia and Indonesia across several corruption indices, this study identifies five (5) key principles in the Quran that should guide the actions of those in power to ensure effective and corruption-free governance. The findings suggest that corruption in Malaysia and Indonesia persists largely due to the neglect of religious norms and principles by several government officials, leading to unethical behavior. Such officials are often driven by worldly desires, resulting in hedonistic and materialistic lifestyle without religious guidance. Therefore, instilling and understanding the five principles; al-Amanah (trustworthiness), al-‘Adl wa al-Ihsan (justice and benevolence), al-Shura (consultation), al-Shaja’ah (courage), and al-Hikmah (wisdom) - is important for eradicating corruption, especially in developing and Muslim-majority countries like Indonesia and Malaysia.
