| Summary: | This study aims to propose a model of shariah governance for Islamic Non-Governmental
Organizations. It will define the true concept of shariah governance from a holistic worldview, then
to elucidate its theoretical framework for Islamic Non-Governmental Organizations. The issue of
defining shariah governance has received a massive amount of attention since the turn of the 20th
century. Initially, the governance principles have been practised by most organisations all around the
world at all levels. However, there is a great diversity between the principles of governance applied
in most Western-led institutions with the principles of shariah governance. This leads to the
discussion on revisiting the concept of governance from a shariah perspective. The study utilises the
grounded theory, which is a qualitative approach that generates theory from observation. In addition,
data collection is also supported through a semi-structured interview method and focused group
discussions. The data of this study were then analysed using thematic analysis. The study makes it
clear what is a theoretical framework that constructs this model. This model has a flexible theoretical
framework which is explained by essential components which are Iman, Islam and Ihsan, and based
on the concept of khalifah. This paper emphasises that shariah compliance is the fundamental
element of shariah organisation and thus, shariah governance is an ultimate approach to ensure such
observance and hence increase the level of public trust in Islamic Non-Governmental Organisations. |
