Leadership that embraces Islamic values as its foundation has a significant impact on all aspects of life. Teacher and staff loyalty, student religious character, and improved institutional performance are some of the benefits gained from integrating spiritual values with managerial effectiveness. Institutional leaders are required to transform their leadership and management practices to avoid being swayed by the negative effects of globalization and international integration. This study aims to examine in-depth the concept of integrating spiritual values with managerial effectiveness in Islamic education. This research uses a library research approach, drawing on various academic sources, including articles, books, and related research. The results indicate that transforming Islamic educational leadership will create an institution that upholds humanitarian values without neglecting performance. Leaders must possess the ability to focus on more than one aspect, but rather focus on two aspects: religious values and institutional performance. The conclusion of this study is that Islamic spiritual values, as a foundation for leadership, create unity for the institution, with managerial activities serving as a means of integrating them.
