Abstract

This article aims to reconstruct educational management theory within the context of Islamic education development by formulating an integrative conceptual framework that links modern management theory with fundamental Islamic values. The study employs a qualitative approach—specifically library research oriented toward theory development—drawing data from primary and secondary literature on educational management, educational leadership, Islamic education, and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. The data were analyzed through a critical literature review, content analysis, and conceptual synthesis. The findings indicate that while modern educational management theory contributes significantly to organizational effectiveness, it requires philosophical reconstruction to align with the Islamic educational paradigm. The study proposes the Tauhidic Integrative Educational Management Framework (TIEMF), an Islamic educational management framework that positions tawhid (divine oneness) as the philosophical foundation, maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah as the normative orientation, management functions as the operational mechanism, educational governance as the institutional dimension, educational quality as a holistic indicator, and insān kāmil (the perfected human being) as the ultimate goal. In conclusion, the organizational effectiveness of educational institutions and the transcendental goals of Islamic education can be integrated into a single management model that is systematic, holistic, and oriented toward the common good.
