The Principal Leadership in Islam

Abstract

This chapter discusses the idea of leadership especially at schools from the Islamic perspective. It also highlights some strategies to become an effective principal who can lead effectively and be emulated by all school members. In every movement, word, and action, a good principal should uphold Islamic values which have been modelled by the Rasulullah SAW through his teachings and Sunnah. A good principal should have positive influence to all school members by encouraging them to move together developing the school. The roles of a school principal as a leader are very important especially in helping the school members improving the quality of education and shaping the religious characters of the school community. An effective principal is not only playing the roles of a successful teacher that can be emulated by others, but also as a leader who is respected for his leadership and good behaviours.

Therefore, the extensive ethical teachings and focus on moral development in Islamic education make it an essential field of study for anyone aiming to effectively tackle present-day ethical and moral dilemmas (Khasawneh & Altakhaineh, 2020).…”
