<![CDATA[Judicial ethics constitutes a fundamental pillar in ensuring justice, integrity, and accountability within legal systems. In Islamic teachings, the judicial profession is regarded as an amanah (trust) that requires judges to uphold ethical and moral principles in carrying out their duties. This study aims to analyze the ethical principles that guide judicial conduct from an Islamic perspective and to examine their relevance to contemporary judicial professionalism. This study employed a normative juridical approach using statutory and conceptual approaches. Data were collected through library research from legal regulations, Islamic legal sources, academic books, and scholarly journal articles, and were analyzed qualitatively through descriptive and thematic analysis. The findings reveal that Islamic judicial ethics is fundamentally grounded in the prophetic values of shidiq (truthfulness), amanah (trustworthiness), tabligh (transparency), fatanah (competence and wisdom), and istiqamah (consistency). These ethical values provide a comprehensive framework for judicial conduct by integrating moral integrity, professional responsibility, and spiritual accountability. The study further finds that Islamic judicial ethics contributes significantly to the realization of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah through the protection of rights, prevention of injustice, and promotion of social welfare. Moreover, Islamic judicial ethics demonstrates substantial compatibility with contemporary judicial standards, particularly the principles of independence, impartiality, integrity, accountability, equality, and competence reflected in the Bangalore Principles of Judicial Conduct. This study concludes that Islamic judicial ethics remains highly relevant as a normative and practical framework for strengthening judicial professionalism, enhancing public trust, and improving judicial governance in contemporary legal systems.]]>
