Despite the growing demand for managerial innovation in Islamic schools, the practical integration of spiritual leadership models remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate the operational dynamics and impact of prophetic leadership on teacher performance within a highly competitive and inclusive educational ecosystem. Employing a qualitative single-case study design, this research was conducted at MAN 1 Lombok Timur. Primary and secondary data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews with the principal and teaching faculty, non-participant observation, and institutional document analysis. The data were subsequently analyzed using the interactive model encompassing data condensation, display, and conclusion drawing. The empirical findings reveal that the four pillars of prophetic leadership Siddiq (integrity), Amanah (trustworthiness), Tabligh (transparent communication), and Fathonah (visionary wisdom) function synergistically as a cohesive managerial framework. Siddiq fosters intrinsic motivation through personal exemplification, Amanah empowers educators via delegated pedagogical autonomy, Tabligh ensures psychological safety through humanistic feedback, and Fathonah catalyzes continuous innovation. Ultimately, the internalization of these attributes transforms the teachers' psychological contract, shifting their commitment from mere bureaucratic compliance to a profound form of spiritual devotion. This research concludes that authentic spiritual leadership is a pragmatic strategy for sustaining educational excellence.
