dc.description.abstractThe Quran has been revealed as a divine guidance to mankind. It came as a revelation through Angel Jibril to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). Islam has left nothing untouched as contained in the Holy Our'an, so is the issue of governance. It is in this divine guidance that the issue of governance and leadership crop up. Allah has revealed the Quran to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) to connect man with his Lord, and guide the relationship between him and creatures for the purpose of vicegerency. Allah has put man to test and trials in preparation for the enormous task of vicegerency. There are many lessons for mankind in the stories of the Messengers and Prophets of Allah. One of the lessons was the leadership role of guiding people to the right path and ruling their affairs with injunctions of Allah. The Quran formulates rules and principles for the purpose of good governance to ensure that the vicegerency is made simple and easy for mankind. Examples of these rules are that the Quran affirms that legislation belongs to Allah alone, that Islam is the only religion that Allah recognize, and that the concept of religion in Islam contains belief, moral, conduct and decrees that governs the human society. The Quran decrees justice, as a means of good governance and leadership. It also decrees obedience from the subjects to their leaders, consultation between the authority and the subjects, good exemplary conduct, administrative competence and learning from the experience of the past leadership. This is the Quran projection of leadership and good governance. It is the Islamic projection of the leadership, despite some misdeeds of some individuals. Thus, this paper sets out to consider the Quran projection of- good governance and leadership from earlier era of Islam and from other periods which are comparable to our present time to serve the recurrent needs of the present leaders if any of them prepares to use them and follow their rules religiously.en_US
