Improving the quality of Islamic education requires a quality management approach that is not only oriented toward meeting established standards but also grounded in Islamic values, including trustworthiness (amanah), justice (‘adl), excellence (ihsan), consultation (shura), and continuous improvement. This article focuses on synthesizing quality management principles with Islamic educational values and developing a quality management model that systematically integrates audit, self-evaluation, benchmarking, and accreditation. This study employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method. The research stages include identifying and selecting relevant literature, analyzing the concepts of quality management and Islamic educational values, synthesizing relevant principles, and formulating an Islamic education quality management model. The findings indicate that integrating Islamic values with quality management principles can establish a quality assurance system that goes beyond compliance with standards toward fostering an ethical, integrity-based, and sustainable quality culture. Audits function as instruments for assessment and control, self-evaluation as a reflective process for identifying institutional achievements and weaknesses, benchmarking as a means of learning from best practices, and accreditation as formal recognition of quality standards compliance. The proposed model positions Islamic values as its philosophical foundation, quality management as its organizational framework, and the four instruments as mechanisms for continuous quality improvement. Therefore, the model provides a conceptual framework for developing Islamic education quality management that is integrative, adaptive, sustainable, and oriented toward public benefit.
