description This article aims to analyze the contestation of the Presidential Election in Indonesia in 2024 using thematic studies of the Qur'an and Hadith. On a theological level, Muslims must determine a Qur'an candidate leader because Muslims in Indonesia will be the largest contributor of votes. The urgency of this research is to formulate the ideal presidential candidate according to Islamic guidance. This article uses qualitative research with a study of literature. Primary data sources in this research are verses of the Qur'an and Hadith. The collected data will be analyzed using the method of Tafsir Madhuri and content analysis. The results show that the value of leaders in the Qur'an and ideal leaders in Indonesia have some correlation with one another. Some criteria are that a statesman must be one with integrity, have ability and competence, be a visionary, be inclusive, should have risk management skills and also problem solving abilities, and especially understanding of the people and a patriotic charisma. Islamic leaders have a significant role in measuring the contestation of the 2024 Presidential Election, but this is not very substantive, considering that all pairs of presidential and vice presidential candidates are homogeneous in terms of their religion. The Qur'anic level of leader criteria can be a further review for the community to determine political dynamics.
