Abstract

The crisis of integrity, political corruption, and moral disorientation in contemporary leadership has generated an urgent need for a leadership paradigm that integrates institutional effectiveness with ethical character formation and spiritual consciousness. This study aims to reconstruct Al-Ghazali’s Sufi teachings in Iḥyā’ ‘Ulūm al-Dīn as a conceptual foundation for developing an Ethical–Spiritual Leadership model within the context of contemporary Islamic politics. Employing a qualitative library-based approach, the study utilizes philosophical-hermeneutic inquiry, conceptual textual analysis, and comparative analysis of Al-Ghazali’s works alongside contemporary leadership theories. The findings reveal that central Ghazalian concepts such as ikhlāṣ (sincerity), ‘adl (justice), zuhd (self-restraint), and amānah (trustworthiness) constitute an integrated leadership framework that combines moral, spiritual, and political dimensions. Unlike contemporary leadership paradigms that primarily emphasize organizational effectiveness and social relations, Al-Ghazali’s model places transcendental accountability and self-purification at the core of public decision-making. This study proposes an Ethical–Spiritual Leadership Framework as a synthesis between Ghazalian spirituality and contemporary leadership discourse, demonstrating its relevance to the development of Islamic political ethics amid the challenges of globalization, leadership crises, and moral decline. The study contributes to the advancement of Islamic political ethics and leadership studies by offering a leadership perspective that integrates public governance, character formation, and spiritual responsibility within a coherent conceptual framework.

Abstract

In Indonesia's increasingly digital religious landscape, online da'wah has become a key agent in influencing public reasoning and civic engagement. This research aims to provide digital da'wah with the potential to be a transformational force in shaping a more critical, open, and active Muslim society in democratic socio-political life. Using a quantitative approach, as many as 100 respondents were randomly selected to fill out a validated questionnaire. The results of statistical analysis showed a significant positive relationship between digital da'wah and the formation of critical and democratic thinking, with a correlation coefficient value of r = 0.602 (p < 0.01). Simple linear regression analysis showed that digital da'wah significantly predicted the formation of critical and democratic thinking, with a regression coefficient value of β = 0.547 and a significance of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05). The R² value of 0.363 indicates that 36.3% of the variation in critical thinking and democratic attitudes can be explained by the digital da'wah variable. These findings confirm that digital da'wah not only plays a role as a medium for the dissemination of religious values, but also as a means of forming critical thinking awareness and involvement in the democratic process in Indonesian society.
