As Islam makes everyone shepherd and answerable with regard to his flock, it is actually reinstating the practice of servant leadership, the humanistic and spiritual way of management. In Islam, servant leader is a person who makes efforts to be useful to his customers. This requires every Muslim to emphasize five key parameters of Islamic practice: justice, trust, righteousness, the struggle within oneself towards selfimprovement, and promise-keeping.
