This study examines the role of madrasah principal instructional leadership in the development of ecotheology-based Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teaching materials. The study is grounded in the increasing urgency of ecological crises and the need for Islamic education to respond not only normatively but also transformatively toward environmental sustainability. In many madrasahs, PAI teaching materials remain focused on ritualistic and doctrinal dimensions, while ecological values rooted in Islamic theology have not been systematically integrated into learning resources. This research employs a qualitative library research approach through conceptual analysis and literature review related to instructional leadership, ecotheology, Islamic education, and curriculum development. The findings indicate that instructional leadership plays a strategic role in directing curriculum orientation, strengthening teacher pedagogical competence, facilitating collaborative material development, and creating an ecological academic culture in madrasahs.
