Abstract
This report presents key insights and reflections from the three-day SABA Winter School, held in 1403 and organized by the Student Scientific Association of the Faculty of Management at Imam Sadiq University. The program, titled “Systems Thinking for Islamic Management,” brought together instructors and participants to explore how systems thinking can enrich the understanding and development of Islamic approaches to management.
As a first-year undergraduate student in Islamic Studies and Management, I participated in this intensive course, which introduced foundational concepts such as causal loops, system archetypes, and holistic analysis. The sessions focused on applying these principles within an Islamic ethical framework, drawing on sources including the Qur’an, Hadith, and Islamic jurisprudence.
This report aims to summarize the program’s core content while offering a personal perspective on how such integrative approaches may contribute to future educational and managerial initiatives rooted in Islamic values.
