The practice of educational leadership based on the teachings of Islam is one of the important and vital topics in the education system. The current research was carried out with the aim of identifying the components of educational leadership based on the teachings of Islam, using a qualitative approach to the documentary method (content analysis).In order to achieve the mentioned goal, firstly, information has been collected by referring to the Qur'an, Nahj al-Balagha, Usul Kafi and other valuable Shia sources.Then, in order to verify the justifiability and validation of the collected information, semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 30 people from the statistical population of Islamic experts in the seminary and university.The justifiability was confirmed by the content validity method, and to validate the identified components, the content analysis method was used and duplicate items were removed.In order to analyze the data using the systematic method attributed to Strauss and Corbin, the data were analyzed using open and axial coding.The results of the analysis showed that seven components play a role in educational leadership based on the teachings of Islam, which include adherence to leadership tools, organizational guidance, trust building, composition of hearts, tolerance and participation, and central justice.
