<![CDATA[Objective: This study aims to describe the Islamic educational leadership models of three figures from Banten: Syekh Nawawi Al-Bantani (1813–1897), Brigadier General K.H. Syam'un (1885–1949), and K.H. Mas Abdurrahman (1875–1944). Contemporary educational leadership crises tend to be managerial-administrative in nature, lacking dimensions of spirituality and exemplary conduct (Sari & Rahman, 2023). The study employs a library research method utilizing historical-philosophical and content analysis approaches. The results reveal a complementary leadership trilogy: (1) Nawawi represents a Charismatic-Intellectual and Moral-Spiritual model rooted in Knowledge-Based Leadership, evidenced by his authorship of 115 kitab kuning (traditional Islamic texts) and the Marah Labid exegesis, which asserts opposition to unjust leaders (Hasibuan, 2020); (2) Syam'un represents a Military-Religious Transformative and Resilience Leadership model, demonstrated by his reform of the Al-Khairiyah institution—shifting from the traditional halaqah (sorogan-bandongan) system to a classical classroom system—as well as his accommodative strategy within PETA and the printing of ORIDAB currency during the 1947 Dutch blockade (Saputra et al., 2024); (3) Mas Abdurrahman represents an Organizational-Reformist and Institutional Leadership model, exemplified by the 1916 founding of Mathla'ul Anwar—which has since expanded into thousands of institutions—and his inclusive policy of appointing female teachers as directors of girls' madrasas (Abdullah & Karim, 2021)]]>
