Abstract

This study analyzes the educational policies during the caliphate of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq through the lens of educational management within the context of Islamic history. Employing a qualitative approach that combines historical and library research methods, the study integrates historical and content analyses of primary and secondary sources regarding the life, leadership, and policies of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq. The findings indicate that Abu Bakr’s educational policies were not characterized by the establishment of formal educational institutions, but rather by efforts to consolidate and ensure the continuity of Islamic knowledge following the passing of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). His leadership practices can be reconstructed through four management functions—planning,organizing, implementation, and supervision—grounded in Islamic values. This yields an educational management model based on the consolidation of knowledge and values, comprising five elements: value-based leadership, safeguarding sources of knowledge, competency-based human resource management, community-based knowledge transmission, and verification-based control. The study affirms that Islamic educational management does not necessarily originate from formal institutions; rather, it can emerge from leadership, exemplary conduct, and the responsibility to preserve the continuity of the community's knowledge.
