Abstract

Corruption remains a persistent challenge in Pakistani society, undermining governance, economic development, and societal cohesion. This paper examines the role of Islamic teachings in combating various forms of corruption within Pakistan, drawing upon the principles outlined in Islamic Sharia. Through a specific study focused on the Pakistani context, this research investigates how Islamic values and ethical principles prescribed by Sharia can serve as a deterrent to corruption. The study employs qualitative research methods, including a literature review and analysis of Islamic teachings, to elucidate the mechanisms through which Islamic teachings can prevent corruption. Findings suggest that Islamic principles such as accountability, transparency, justice, and integrity provide a robust framework for addressing corruption in Pakistan. Additionally, the paper explores the implementation challenges and opportunities associated with integrating Islamic teachings into anti-corruption efforts, considering the socio-political context of Pakistan.
