PROF. DR. KHALIQ AHMAD
Professor of Economics, Business, and Management from an Islamic Perspective

Prof. Dr. Khaliq Ahmad is a scholar of management whose intellectual vision rests upon the ethical architecture of Islam, where governance, leadership, and economic life are reoriented toward higher purpose. His work inhabits the intersection of corporate governance, Islamic management, and sustainable development, seeking not merely efficiency, but moral coherence in organisational life.

With a career spanning decades of teaching, supervision, and editorial stewardship, he has cultivated a body of scholarship that bridges theory and praxis. His writings—ranging from Islamic banking and finance to leadership models grounded in prophetic principles—reflect a sustained commitment to integrating spirituality with institutional responsibility .

As an educator, he engages students in courses that traverse Islamic socio-political thought, sustainability, and the renewal (islah and tajdid) of civilisation. His supervision of doctoral research extends across continents and concerns, from workplace ethics to Islamic finance, each inquiry guided by the maqāṣid al-sharīʿah as a living framework.

Honoured for his scholarly contributions and service, his intellectual legacy is not confined to publications or awards. It lies in his enduring effort to humanise management—reminding us that leadership, when rooted in values, becomes a trust; and that institutions, when guided by ethics, may yet serve as instruments of justice and dignity.
