Abstract

This study proposes a conceptual framework that articulates the philosophical resonance between the spiritual-ethical teachings of Tanbih by Sheik Abdullah Mubarok a foundational text of the Qadiriyyah–Naqshabandiyyah Suryalaya tradition and Indonesia’s Love-Based Curriculum (Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta, KBC), a recent policy initiative of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, in shaping spiritual and value-based Islamic educational leadership. Drawing on philosophical hermeneutics (Gadamer), the research conducts a comparative interpretive analysis of these two texts to examine how the values of divine love (maḥabbah) and moderation (wasaṭiyyah/tawāzun) inform leadership orientation, ethical authority, and institutional direction within Islamic educational settings. The analysis identifies four interrelated dimensions of educational leadership: (1) an ontological foundation of leadership grounded in relational unity through divine love; (2) an ethical framework that reconciles spiritual integrity and civic responsibility through balance and moderation; (3) a compassionate pedagogical leadership approach that deepens the KBC’s “connection before correction” principle through the Sufi discipline of adab; and (4) a service-oriented leadership orientation rooted in rendah babarengan (humility in togetherness), re-envisioned as institutional khidmah. This study contributes to the field of Islamic Educational Leadership and Management by reframing leadership not merely as administrative control, but as a spiritually grounded, value-based practice that integrates ethical governance, compassionate pedagogy, and institutional responsibility. While the framework is conceptual and untested empirically, it offers a hermeneutically grounded theoretical foundation for future action research and case studies in madrasahs and other Islamic educational institutions. The study further invites scholarly inquiry into how locally rooted spiritual epistemologies can inform contemporary educational leadership and policy without being reduced to instrumental or bureaucratic functions.

Abstract

Organizational culture determines whether an educational institution can develop or fall behin. This study aims to analyze the role of strategic leadership in shaping organizational culture in schools. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study. Data sources were obtained from principals, teachers, administrative staff, and students through observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data display, and verification or drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that strategic leadership plays a very important role in building an organizational culture that is disciplined, communicative, collaborative, and oriented towards improving performance. The principal acts as a director, decision-maker, motivator, and role model in instilling organizational values ​​and forming positive work habits. Organizational culture is developed through routine activities, discipline habits, periodic work evaluations, and open communication that are implemented consistently. Strategic leadership also encourages the organization's ability to adapt to change and increases the effectiveness of achieving school goals. The implications of this study indicate that strengthening the strategic leadership competency of principals needs to be a priority in educational management because it contributes to the creation of a strong, adaptive, and sustainable organizational culture. Thus, the success of an organizational culture is greatly influenced by the leader's ability to align organizational strategy with consistently applied values ​​and work practices.
