<![CDATA[Purpose – This study aims to examine Qur’anic value-based leadership in the digital transformation of Islamic schools. It addresses the gap in educational leadership literature by exploring how Qur’anic values guide school leaders in responding to digital change while preserving the moral, spiritual, and educational mission of Islamic schooling. Design/methods/approach – This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving the school principal, vice principal for student affairs, curriculum coordinator, teachers, and administrative staff at an Islamic senior secondary school in Bogor, Indonesia. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis through data organization, coding, theme development, and interpretation. Source and technique triangulation were applied to strengthen credibility. Findings – The findings show that Qur’anic values such as amanah, sidq, ‘adl, shura, and uswah hasanah serve as ethical foundations for Islamic school leadership. These values are reflected in responsible decision-making, transparent communication, participatory leadership, fair support for teachers, and the principal’s role as a moral example. Digital transformation is supported through teacher empowerment, professional development, and the development of an ethical digital culture. Research implications/limitations – This study implies that Islamic school leaders need adaptive, participatory, and ethically grounded digital leadership strategies. However, the study is limited to a single case and qualitative design, so the findings cannot be generalized broadly. Originality/value – This study contributes to Islamic educational leadership by integrating Qur’anic values, digital transformation, teacher empowerment, and ethical school culture.]]>
