The principal's managerial is implemented well through training and creating a positive work environment and supporting teachers in overcoming challenges, 3). program support in the form of supervision and coaching to teachers and collaborative work atmosphere transforming theological values such as Shura (consultative), Amanah (integrity), and Ulul Amri (responsible authority) into practical managerial instruments. Teacher creativity emerges as a manifestation of the principles of Iqra' and Tafakkur, where teachers view pedagogical innovation as a form of worship (Ihsan). The conclusion of this study shows that the principals at MAN 1 and MAN 3 South Aceh play an important role in enhancing teacher creativity through Islamic education management that has a spiritual dimension that distinguishes it from secular management.
