Leadership issue is one of the vital elements in achieving success of a school organization. This issue has been debated among educational reseachers and scholars from time to time. However Islamic leadership theory is still less emphasized in schools compared to Western leadership theory. Thus, this article aims to elucidate the concept of Ulul Albab leadership and identify its distinguished characteristics. Notwithstanding this Ulul Albab concept has been implemented in several schools, its achievement also requires dynamic leadership. It is found that the Ulul Albab leadership has three main dimensions namely Quranic, Encyclopedic and Ijtihadikc and these are in line with the Quranic verses (16 verses) related to the Ulul Albab theme. The findings give some implications on the leadership of future leaders and generations.
