Entrepreneurship Education, Islamic Moral Values, Business Ethics, Sustainable Business Practices, Conceptual FrameworkAbstract
The integration of Islamic moral values in entrepreneurship education is essential for developing ethical, competent, and sustainable business-oriented entrepreneurs. This study employs a library research approach to develop a conceptual framework linking Islamic moral values, entrepreneurship education, and sustainable business practices. The literature review indicates that core values such as honesty, trustworthiness, justice, and social responsibility can be embedded in curricula, learning modules, practical exercises, and mentoring to shape ethical behavior among students. The resulting conceptual framework provides a theoretical guide for educational institutions in designing entrepreneurship programs based on Islamic moral values, enabling graduates to manage businesses ethically, innovatively, and socially responsibly. The limitation of this research is its theoretical nature, requiring future empirical studies to assess the impact of moral value integration on real-world business practices.
