- Abstract
Leadership is the ability and skill of an individual who occupies a position as a leader in a work setting to influence the behavior of others, especially subordinates, to think and act in such a way that through positive behavior, they contribute significantly to achieving the organization’s goals. In Islam, a leader is referred to as a “Khalifah.” Leadership ensures that every activity can effectively and efficiently achieve its objectives. This article aims to identify who Al-Mawardi is, understand the characteristics of Al-Mawardi’s thoughts on leadership, and explore the implementation of leadership in education from Al-Mawardi’s perspective. Therefore, examining this issue to gain insights from it is interesting. This research is conducted using a library research method, with the author using documentation as a means of data collection. The results of this discussion reveal that Al-Mawardi has articulated his concept of leadership (imamah) quite well. Al-Mawardi attempted to present the ideal indicators for someone to become an imam/leader, which includes being knowledgeable, just, physically and mentally healthy, well-informed, fearless, and of Qurayshi lineage. Furthermore, implementing these ideal indicators in education can be realized through the role of a school principal as a leader in educational institutions or schools. Al-Mawardi’s thoughts have made significant contributions to Muslim scholars, serving as a reference for Muslims when appointing leaders in the field of education and within society.
