<![CDATA[The bureaucratization of madrasah administration has become a significant issue in Islamic Education Management. Administration, which initially served as an instrument of accountability, transparency, and quality assurance, has the potential to shift to institutional objectives. Teacher work overload regulations, digital reporting, accreditation, and quality assurance often place teachers, madrasah principals, and operators within the logic of document compliance, physical evidence, and equivalence of working hours. Library research uses a descriptive-qualitative approach to analyze the bureaucratization of madrasah administration as a problem of public welfare, and to formulate a reconstruction of madrasah governance based on Maqāṣid al-Syarī’ah. Data from educational regulations, policy documents, official reports, books, and relevant scientific articles were analyzed qualitatively using the critical theory paradigm and the Maqāṣid al-Syarī’ah framework. The results of the study indicate that the bureaucratization of madrasah administration operates through the logic of documents, reports, data control, accreditation, digitalization, and work overload equivalence. The impact is evident in the increasing hidden overload of teachers; madrasah principals; operators; The weakening of pedagogical-reflective space, as well as a shift in governance orientation from service to formal compliance. Maqāṣid al-Syarīah offers an evaluative framework through hifz al-dīn, hifz al-nafs, hifz al-’aql, hifz al-māl, and hifz al-nasl. This study proposes the concept of maslahah-based madrasah governance, namely madrasah governance that shifts the orientation from administrative compliance to substantive, participatory, humane, transparent, and equitable benefits.]]>
