The focus of this study is the SME (small and medium entrepreneurs) of typical food products of Riau domiciled in Riau. The population in this study was all the SMEs, and the sample size is 160 respondents. The method used to analyze the data in this study is WarpPLS [1], for inner model (hyphothesis testing for structural model) and outer model (measurement model for unobservable variables). Sobel test (under WarpPLS model) was used to test whether a variable is a variable mediating the relationship between endogenous variables and exogenous variables. The conclusions of this research are the following: (1) Islamic leadership does not have a direct effect on the performance of SMEs, (2) Islamic leadership has an indirect effect on the performance of SMEs, with competitive advantages and innovation as mediation variables.
