Combating corruption remains a national priority as Malaysia advances toward developed and high-income status, yet concerns persist regarding the performance and integrity of segments of the civil service. Addressing this challenge requires sustained scholarly inquiry into integrity formation that goes beyond compliance-oriented approaches. This study aims to identify key dimensions of tazkiyat al-qalb (heart purification) articulated in Sufi Ishārī Tafsīr and to examine their relevance to individual integrity education in the context of corruption prevention. Employing qualitative content analysis, the study analyses selected Ishārī exegetical texts to extract themes related to spiritual-ethical cultivation. The analysis indicates that Ishārī Tafsīr consistently foregrounds heart purification as the core of moral formation and the basis of akhlāq (noble character). From this perspective, integrity education should begin with inner rectification, because outward conduct is understood to follow the orientation of the heart. When the heart is dominated by hawā al-nafs (lustful inclinations), it becomes morally disordered, producing character deficits that undermine integrity and increase susceptibility to corrupt behaviour. The study concludes that integrating heart purification frameworks into integrity education can strengthen character development and moral accountability, thereby supporting broader governmental efforts to curb corruption and abuse of power.
