ABSTRACT

Integrating religious values, ethics, and clean leadership behaviour remains a fundamental principle continuously reinforced in various institutions and organisations across Indonesia. This commitment is exemplified by the AKHLAK values (Amanah-Trustworthy, Kompeten-Competent, Harmonis-Harmonious, Loyal-Loyal, Adaptif-Adaptive, Kolaboratif-Collaborative), implemented by a government ministry to promote corruption eradication and ethical leadership, aligning with Sustainable Development Goal 16. This study explores the Muamalah curriculum, specifically the Fiqh of Anti-Corruption module, at Institut Teknologi dan Bisnis Ahmad Dahlan (ITB-AD) Jakarta, using a qualitative approach that includes literature review, student assignment analysis, and alumni interviews. The findings reveal four key insights. First, ITB-AD has incorporated the Muamalah curriculum as a mandatory General Education Course to instil anti-corruption values. Second, the curriculum integrates theological principles, Islamic law, moral values, gender, legal culture, and ethical-worship perspectives, reinforcing the fight against corruption. Third, students‘ understanding of anti-corruption values is reflected in their final assignments, which include videos or opinion narratives focused on corruption-related themes. Fourth, the integration of religious and moral values within the Muamalah curriculum and SDG 16 effectively fosters ethical leadership and an anti-corruption culture among graduates. Alumni, whether working in governmental institutions or as entrepreneurs, demonstrate a strong commitment to ethical conduct, refusing to justify unethical means to achieve their goals.
