Abstract
Social audit exercise involves a process of measuring, reporting, understanding and rectifying the social fabric of society. The aim of this study was to measure the extent of Tuan Guru Haji Mohd Yassin leadership transformation. Tuan Guru Haji Mohd Yassin bin Muhammad is a figure of great influence and leadership through education of the public in Johor. He founded the AsSa'adiah Madrasah (Arabic stream school) and Mohd Yassin Secondary School in the 1960s. Tuan Guru Haji Mohd Yassin’s philosophy stressed that the distinguished leadership can be polished by achieving the rank of faith and piety to Allah (swt), in other words, muraqabah (the approach to God (swt)). The leadership of Tuan Guru is evident through his efforts to convey the teachings of Islam to the nation and aims to change the mind-set of the Malays to be literate in religion and science education in combating underdevelopment. Based on open and rational thinking, he balanced the interests of secular and religious knowledge through a sympathizing approach in social life through the delivery of religious knowledge based on Al-Quran and Al-Hadith and the ideology of Ahl-as-Sunnah wal Jamaah. The Transformational Leadership model by Bass and Avolio (1994) was adopted to measure the transformation process by submitting four leadership dimensions referred to as The Four I's. The four dimensions are idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration. All of the above dimensions were possessed by Tuan Guru Haji Mohd Yassin. The research qualitative and quantitative data was obtained. Information from the six elements of the society development namely religion, economic, social, environment, education and politics has been analysed based on The Four I's dimensions of transformational leadership since the leadership of Tuan Guru Haji Mohd Yassin to the leadership of his successors.
