<![CDATA[This study aims to develop a conceptual framework of adaptive Islamic educational leadership for school principals in responding to digital transformation. The study employs a qualitative library research method through systematic conceptual analysis and synthesis of literature on digital leadership, adaptive leadership, educational management, Islamic educational leadership, organizational transformation, teacher digital competence, and technology integration. The findings indicate that digital transformation requires school principals to move beyond conventional administrative functions toward strategic, pedagogical, technological, organizational, and ethical leadership. The proposed framework comprises eight interconnected competencies: digital vision, adaptive intelligence, pedagogical-digital leadership, collaborative empowerment, data-informed decision-making, innovation and change management, ethical-digital governance, and continuous professional learning. These competencies are integrated with Islamic moral-spiritual principles to ensure that technological transformation remains aligned with educational objectives, human development, ethical responsibility, and Islamic values. The novelty of this study lies in the formulation of an adaptive Islamic educational leadership framework that integrates digital and adaptive leadership perspectives with Islamic educational principles, positioning school principals as strategic agents of pedagogical, organizational, cultural, and ethical transformation. The framework demonstrates that digital transformation in Islamic educational institutions should be understood not merely as technology adoption but as a comprehensive transformation of leadership and educational practice.]]>
