Karakter kepemimpinan Nabi Muhammad SAW berbasis sifat kenabian

Abstract

The leadership crisis in the modern era, marked by low integrity, lack of moral responsibility, and ineffective public communication, demands an authentic and transformative leadership model. This study aims to examine the leadership character of Prophet Muhammad SAW based on the prophetic traits of Shiddiq (truthfulness), Amanah (trustworthiness), Fathanah (wisdom/intelligence), and Tabligh (communicativeness), as well as their relevance to contemporary leadership practices. The research employed a qualitative method with a library research approach, in which the primary data were obtained from the work of Muhammad Syafii Antonio (2019), while secondary data were derived from Sirah Nabawiyah literature, classical Islamic texts, and relevant scholarly articles. The findings reveal that the prophetic traits establish a holistic leadership framework encompassing integrity, accountability, strategic intelligence, and visionary communication, which are capable of fostering a just, inclusive, and civilized society. This study concludes that the prophetic leadership model possesses high relevance as both a conceptual and practical reference for the development of modern Islamic leadership, particularly in the fields of education, organizations, and governance.

Krisis kepemimpinan di era modern yang ditandai oleh rendahnya integritas, kurangnya tanggung jawab moral, dan komunikasi publik yang tidak efektif menuntut model kepemimpinan yang autentik dan transformatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji karakter kepemimpinan Nabi Muhammad SAW berbasis sifat kenabian Shiddiq, Amanah, Fathanah, dan Tabligh, serta relevansinya dengan praktik kepemimpinan kontemporer. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi pustaka (library research), di mana data primer diperoleh dari karya Muhammad Syafii Antonio (2019), sedangkan data sekunder bersumber dari literatur Sirah Nabawiyah, kitab klasik, dan artikel ilmiah yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa karakter sifat kenabian membentuk kerangka kepemimpinan yang holistik, mencakup integritas, akuntabilitas, kecerdasan strategis, dan komunikasi visioner, yang mampu membangun masyarakat yang adil, inklusif, dan beradab. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa model kepemimpinan berbasis sifat kenabian memiliki relevansi tinggi sebagai rujukan konseptual dan praktis dalam pengembangan kepemimpinan Islam modern, khususnya dalam pendidikan, organisasi, dan pemerintahan.
