<![CDATA[Islamic educational leadership is a strategic mechanism for ensuring that educational goals, academic governance, lecturer development, learning processes, and quality assurance move in an aligned direction. This study aims to analyze Islamic educational leadership in strengthening the quality of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning at Universitas Islam Bunga Bangsa Cirebon (UIBBC). The study employed a qualitative approach with a documentary case-study design. Data were drawn from publicly available UIBBC institutional documents and information, particularly the university leadership structure, Faculty of Tarbiyah profile, PAI Study Program profile, quality assurance documents, and scholarly publications on Islamic educational leadership and learning quality. Data were analyzed through reduction, thematic categorization, interpretation, and source triangulation. The findings indicate that educational leadership at UIBBC can be examined through three major dimensions: strategic leadership direction, academic-pedagogical leadership, and quality-oriented leadership. These dimensions are reflected in the distribution of academic authority, the Faculty of Tarbiyah's orientation toward leadership and digital learning, the existence of an internal quality assurance system, and monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. In the context of PAI, quality-oriented leadership needs to translate institutional vision into lecturer competency development, student-centered learning, learning evaluation, innovation, and data-informed follow-up. The study proposes a conceptual framework of PAI leadership grounded in Islamic values and continuous improvement. The study is limited by its documentary evidence and therefore does not claim a causal effect of leadership on student learning outcomes.]]>
