The results show that Islamic leadership not only adheres to prophetic values such as siddiq, tabligh,amanah, and fathanah, but also demands adaptability to the challenges of the times. The comparison of these two figures shows differences in the focus of contributions, where K.H. Ahmad Dahlan focused more on internal reform of the ummah and educational institutions, while K.H. Wahid Hasyim was more active in the realm of politics and integration of Islamic education in the context of a plural state. Nevertheless, both have a common thread in caring for the progress of the ummah through education, moderation, and national vision.
