The university is a vital institution of developing any nation and the intersection of the realms of culture, power and knowledge. In pursuit of its mission of producing science, promoting values and offering first-rate services, Islamic University not only has to respond quickly to the changes and create a learning culture, but its leaders should have the belief that one can learn from the other members of the university. The present study seeks to examine the need of Islamic University to have a special characteristic and explain some of the challenges that it can face, so the university may change into a teaching institution. The research method is descriptive - documentary analysis. The findings show that in today's changing world, leaders should continue learning as long as they practice teaching. This principle of learning cycle is a noble quality. At teaching universities, leaders seek out their mission in practicing teaching; they teach others and believe that teaching is the best way of developing the staff. At a teaching university, the leaders hold on to moral values. Since Islamic University and a teaching university rest on two foundations: culture and value leadership, it is possible for Islamic University to occupy the position of being a teaching university.
