The demand of Islamic universality views that each living human being is a leader, either a leader for himself, a leader for his family or for his group. In addition, the responsibility of the family leader in Islamic concept is not only to the other human being, but also the responsibility to Allah – the Almighty God. Al-ri’ayah (leadership) in family according to the Islamic perspective is the application of leadership by a family head in holding the mandate / trusteeship and in reaching the joint objective, by obeying to all provisions of family leadership in Islam consistently. Al-ri’ayah in family in this research is measured by the indicators of amanah (mandate/trust), just, wise, imperative and giving good samples. Intention of the family head is the commitment deep in the heart of family head to perform an action to achieve the family goal and conducted in order to look for the blessing (ridhla) of Allah. Intention of the family head is measured by indicators of devotion (‘ibadah’), hereafter life, cautious / careful, and honest and also looking for living for the family. Performance in Islam is an achievement obtained through working / making an effort by following the religious norms and the Islamic economic principles. Performance is measured by indicators of income, savings / investment, value of the family assets and tithe (zakat), donation (infaq) and alms (shadaqah). Family welfare is a family condition able to maintain the syari’ah objective. The family welfare is measured by the indicators of maqasid syari’ah, namely the protection to the religion (hifzz ad-din), protection to the soul (hifz-an-nafs), protection to the mind (hifz al-aql), protection to the offspring (hifz an-nasl), and protection to property (hifz al-maal). THEORETICAL BASE Leadership is something absolute in every family. The idea of leadership covers the whole aspects of fulfilment of the needs, attention, taking care, defending and guiding. The aspect of family need fulfilment cannot be separated from the aspect of intention as a part directly related to the religious aspect. The religiousness of someone will cover the various dimensions, such as the faith dimension (ideological), devotion dimension (ritualism), comprehension dimension (experiential), application dimension (consequential), and the knowledge dimension (Ancok, 1995: 10). Such dimensions contain the hopes in which someone holds on the theological outlook and acknowledges the truth of the religious doctrines. From the psychological point of view, Eagly and Chaiken in Yosepa (2008: 100), state that intention constitutes a psychological construct different from the attitude determining someone’s motivation with his conscious mind plans to perform something. Intention is measured by the way in giving some items of questions asking whether the subject intends or not to do an action. Intention constitutes a motivation of someone’s wish to materialize the goal he wants to achieve. Intention has a requirement in order to be purified only for the sake of brought to you by CORE View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk provided by International Institute for Science, Technology and Education (IISTE): E-Journals
