to poor monitoring and distribution of resources .Islamic law was the first to diagnose the
disease and showed the medicine, and took all methods to combat it and reduce it, but it
does not end completely because it is related to the behaviors of individuals and groups.

correcting the work of the administration and achieving justice and equality. Putting good
leaders who are good role models in the jobs that suit them because they will serve as a
means of reducing administrative corruption.
