Abstract

This qualitative research discovers the role of Prophet Yusuf (A.S) as a treasury manager through an analysis of historical and religious manuscripts. The study draws upon various sources, including Qur'anic verses, historical literature, and contemporary research, to clarify the financial and managerial strategies employed by Prophet Yusuf in antique Egypt. Key melodies include financial planning, tax incentives, agricultural reforms, production management, storage techniques, and supply chain management, all of which contributed to active treasury management during a period of economic challenge. By producing understandings from religious teachings and historical narratives, the research aims to deliver valuable lessons for contemporary financial management and leadership. The study employs a qualitative methodology, emphasizing textual analysis and thematic combination to derive meaningful perceptions.
