The Concept of Islamic Education Management in the Perspective of the Quran Thematic Interpretation of Verses on Leadership

The purpose of this study is to identify leadership verses in various surahs in the Quran. The Quran mentions the term leader in several forms, namely Khalifah, Imam, and ulil amri. Specifically, this study examines the verses about leadership in Surah al-Baqarah verse 30, Shad verse 26, al-Baqarah verse 124, al-Furqan verse 74, and an-Nisa verse 59, and reviews the interpretation of these verses from the perspective of Tafsir Ibn Katsir, Tafsir Al-Misbah, and Tafsir Al-Maraghi, and inspires the application of these interpretations in Islamic education management. This research is a qualitative study using the library research method. The primary data source is the study of thematic interpretations of leadership verses. The results show that the principles of leadership in the Qur'anic perspective emphasize that Islamic leadership is a "natural" thing for every human being. This is also the motivation for Islamic leadership and the concept of leadership in Islamic Education Management. The purpose of leadership in Islamic education is to create quality educational institutions so that the goals that have been set can be achieved. The approach based on the Quran in understanding leadership provides a strong foundation for developing Islamic education management that is more competitive and of high quality and positively impacts achieving educational goals.
