This study examines Ibn Khaldun's ideas on Islamic educational management, focusing on the integration of knowledge and morality in educational leadership. Employing a qualitative approach through literature review, this research analyzes Ibn Khaldun's monumental work, the Muqaddimah, along with relevant secondary sources. The findings reveal that Ibn Khaldun viewed education as a process of holistic human development, balancing intellectual, moral, and spiritual dimensions. In the context of educational leadership, he emphasized moral exemplars, justice, and ethical responsibility as foundational principles. These ideas remain highly relevant for contemporary Islamic education, particularly in addressing the value crisis and the dichotomy between cognitive achievement and character formation. The integration of knowledge and ethics, as formulated by Ibn Khaldun, serves as an essential foundation for developing a comprehensive and sustainable model of Islamic educational management.
