ISLAMIC ENTREPRENEURSHIP : TEACHING & LEARNING GUIDELINES

Abstract

The evolving landscape of entrepreneurship education demands a framework that not only equips learners with business acumen but also nurtures ethical consciousness and spiritual integrity. Islamic entrepreneurship, rooted in the values of Shariah and the Prophetic tradition, offers a holistic and value-driven alternative to conventional business practices. It advocates for entrepreneurship that transcends material success by integrating ethical conduct, social responsibility, and the pursuit of barakah (divine blessings). In an era of rising digital commerce, globalisation, and economic disparity, the role of principled Muslim entrepreneurs has become increasingly vital.This guideline is developed to support educators and curriculum designers in implementing the teaching and learning of Islamic entrepreneurship at the diploma level. It serves as a practical reference for both formative and summative assessments to be integrated throughout the learning journey. Each topic is structured with suggested teaching strategies, learner- centred activities, and corresponding tools for assessing students' understanding, performance, and reflection. The guideline covers essential themes including principles of Islamic entrepreneurship, ethics and values, Islamic digital commerce, social media marketing, and business planning in compliance with Islamic principles.
