Implementation of Al-Hikmah Education at SERI ABIM aims to develop Al-Hikmah competencies. However, the level of instillation of Al-Hikmah values has not yet reached an excellent standard. This study aims to identify the relationship between the variables under investigation. The research employs a quantitative descriptive and correlational design using a survey method. The instrument for measuring Transformational Leadership was adapted from Bass & Avolio (2000), Work Commitment from Meyer & Allen (1997), and the Instillation of Al-Hikmah Values from Fatimah Mohamed (2007), with a total of 101 items. The average Cronbach's Alpha value is 0.975. A sample of 234 respondents was selected from a population of 605 ABIM teachers using stratified sampling. Descriptive data analysis conducted using SPSS version 24 revealed that the relationship between headmasters’ transformational leadership and teachers' work commitment is moderate (r = .674). Similarly, the relationship between teachers' work commitment and the practice of instilling Al-Hikmah values is also moderate (r = .615). This study demonstrates that the practice of instilling Al-Hikmah values has been effectively implemented in ABIM primary schools. Therefore, headmasters’ transformational leadership should be optimally practised to drive schools towards greater excellence. Furthermore, the instillation of Al-Hikmah values should be strengthened to ensure high teacher commitment, which will lead to competent teachers and students with commendable character traits.
