The purpose of this study was to explore the leadership roles of Muslim reformers in the modernization of integrated public Islamic schools. Islamic education has undergone significant transformation since its introduction in Ghana and subsequent migration into the national education system. The transformational leadership theory through its concepts of idealized influence, intellectual stimulation, individualized consideration, and inspirational motivation, informed the study. A qualitative case study was employed to explore and analyze the roles and leadership influence of Muslim reformers in the integration of Islamic schools in Ghana. Five Muslim reformers participated in semi-structured in-depth interviews. Interviews were complemented with observations and document reviews. The findings reveal that the program of reforming Islamic schools was articulated through the visions of Muslim reformers with the rationale that: In order for Muslims to be able to cope with the modern world and achieve progress, there was no other way, but for the Muslim communities to recognize the necessity to reform Islamic schools from traditional Qur'anic schools to Integrated Islamic schools that combined secular curriculum with Islamic religious studies to enable Muslims to fully integrate into national development.
