Abstract

Conflict is an inseparable part of social life, requiring dispute resolution mechanisms that achieve justice while preserving social relations. From an Islamic legal perspective, reconciliation is an important foundation for resolving disputes through peaceful approaches oriented toward the public interest. This study aims to analyze the relationship between mediator ethics and reconciliation principles from an Islamic legal perspective, examine the relevance of mediator ethical values to dispute resolution effectiveness, and formulate a conceptual model integrating mediator ethics with reconciliation principles as a normative and practical basis for mediation. This qualitative study employs a library research approach combined with content analysis. Data were obtained from the Qur’an, hadith, classical and contemporary Islamic jurisprudence, laws and regulations, and relevant scientific literature, analyzed thematically and comparatively. The findings indicate that mediation success depends not only on technical competence but also on moral integrity, reflected in justice (al-‘adl), honesty (al-sidq), trustworthiness, wisdom, and neutrality. Reconciliation also seeks to restore social relations, foster peace, and promote welfare in accordance with maq??id al-syar?‘ah. The novelty lies in integrating mediator ethics and reconciliation principles into an Islamic legal dispute resolution paradigm.
