A Qur’anic-Based Strategic Management Framework for Sustainable Quality Enhancement in Islamic Education Institutions
Keywords:
Islamic Education Management, Strategic Management, Qur’anic Principles, Sustainable Quality Enhancement, Value-Based GovernanceAbstract
This study develops a Qur’anic-based strategic management framework for sustainable quality enhancement in Islamic education institutions. Although strategic management has been extensively discussed in mainstream management literature, limited studies systematically integrate Qur’anic epistemology into structured institutional governance models. Employing a qualitative conceptual design through library research, this study analyzes relevant Qur’anic principles, classical Islamic scholarship, and contemporary strategic management theories. The findings reveal that justice (‘adl), trustworthiness (amanah), consultation (shura), excellence (ihsan), and accountability (mas’uliyyah) provide a coherent ethical foundation for strategic planning, implementation, monitoring, and continuous improvement. By embedding these principles into managerial processes, Islamic education institutions can align spiritual commitments with modern governance systems. The proposed framework bridges Islamic theological foundations with contemporary strategic management theory and offers a value-based model capable of promoting sustainable institutional quality. The study contributes theoretically to Islamic education management discourse and provides practical guidance for institutional leaders seeking to enhance long-term resilience and competitiveness while preserving Islamic identity.
