Abstract

This study aims to examine how prophetic leadership is constructed and practiced within the socio-cultural dynamics of Islamic boarding schools and to develop an integrative conceptual framework based on empirical evidence. A qualitative research design with an extended ethnographic approach was employed, with data collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis involving leaders, teachers, senior students, and administrative staff, and analyzed using thematic coding. The findings reveal that prophetic leadership is manifested through four interrelated dimensions: spiritual legitimacy, exemplary behavior, transformational negotiation, and cultural reproduction. Spiritual legitimacy is constructed through collective religious validation, while exemplary behavior functions as a medium of moral socialization within the institutional community. In addition, leaders continuously negotiate between traditional religious values and organizational transformation demands. This study proposes an integrative framework in which spirituality is positioned not merely as a moral foundation but as an active instrument of leadership practice. Theoretically, the study contributes to leadership scholarship by offering a context-sensitive model of spiritual leadership, while practically it provides insights for strengthening leadership strategies in faith-based educational institutions.

Abstract

Religious polarization in Indonesia demands that educational institutions play a strategic role in instilling religious moderation, yet many schools face challenges in effectively integrating these values in a heterogeneous environment. This study aims to analyze the mechanisms of integration of religious moderation values into the curriculum and management at SMK Negeri Sukapura, a public school that has successfully fostered harmony between Muslim and Hindu students. Using a qualitative ethnographic approach through participant observation, in-depth interviews with the principal, teachers, and students, and analysis of curriculum documents and school policies, this study explores the concrete practices and hidden curriculum that shape a culture of tolerance. The results identify three key mechanisms: (1) transformational leadership that shapes social norms through role models and participatory policies, (2) integration of moderation values across subjects through a dialogic and reflective approach, and (3) a hidden curriculum that changes attitudes through spontaneous interactions, inclusive extracurricular activities, and symbolic justice in worship facilities. The school's success lies in the systemic synergy between leadership, managerial policies, formal curriculum, and mutually reinforcing school culture. This study provides a theoretical contribution by conceptualizing moderation as an ecological system, not an isolated intervention, and offers an applicable empirical model for heterogeneous public schools in implementing religious moderation-based character education in Indonesia.
