Abstract

The emergence of the Majelis Pengkajian Tauhid Tasawuf Indonesia (MPTTI), a neo-Sufi movement affiliated with the Naqshbandi order, has transformed the contemporary religious landscape of Aceh. Despite facing strong opposition from local ulama and communities, MPTTI has expanded significantly over the past decade, particularly in southern Aceh. It employs non-confrontational strategies and extensive community networks. This study examines MPTTI’s strategies for negotiating religious authority by integrating charismatic leadership, social networks, and suluk practices to consolidate organizational legitimacy and facilitate social transformation. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, and interpreted using Foucault’s concept of power networks. The findings demonstrate that MPTTI’s expansion cannot be understood solely through theological dissemination but through the productive construction of religious authority. meanwhile, strategic relationships with local authorities and community figures help the movement navigate resistance and expand without significant confrontation. The leader’s charisma is institutionalized through suluk practices that cultivate discipline, loyalty, and spiritual legitimacy, while strategic relationships with local authorities and community figures enable the movement navigate resistance and expand its influence without open confrontation. This study contributes to the field of religion and power by demonstrating how contemporary neo-Sufi movements generate and maintain power through the intersection of charisma, disciplinary spiritual practices, and relational networks. The findings also imply that religious movements attained social legitimacy not merely through doctrinal persuasion but through adaptive patters of power that reshape local religious and social relations at local level.

Abstract

This study analyzes the effectiveness of the implementation of Aceh Qanun No. 6 of 2014 on Islamic Criminal Law (Jinayat) from the perspective of legal certainty within Aceh’s plural legal system. The study is motivated by empirical problems indicating that the enforcement of jinayat law has not been consistently implemented, as reflected in disparities among legal actors, the coexistence of customary law and formal jinayat procedures, and the persistence of vigilante justice practices in society. This research employs a normative legal method with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The analysis is framed using Soerjono Soekanto’s theory of legal effectiveness and Lawrence M. Friedman’s legal system theory. The findings indicate that the ineffectiveness of jinayat law enforcement is not solely caused by deficiencies in legal substance, but also by structural weaknesses in legal institutions and legal culture that have not yet functioned in a harmonized manner within Aceh’s plural legal order. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative approach, combining legal effectiveness theory and legal pluralism to explain the causal relationship between institutional fragmentation, societal legal culture, and the low level of legal certainty in the enforcement of Islamic law in Aceh. This study contributes theoretically by strengthening the analytical framework of legal effectiveness in the context of regional Islamic law, and practically by offering policy recommendations for institutional harmonization and improved integration between customary law and formal legal systems. The study concludes that strengthening coordination among legal institutions, enhancing legal awareness, and harmonizing legal pluralism are essential to improving legal certainty in the enforcement of Islamic criminal law in Aceh.

Abstract

This study examines sexism and gender discrimination in online divorce reporting as an indicator of Islamic family law literacy in online mass media in Jambi, Indonesia. It investigates how media narratives construct the image of women, particularly wives who initiate divorce, and assesses whether such representations reflect an adequate understanding of Islamic family law principles. This study employed Van Dijk’s critical discourse analysis to examine online news articles on divorce published between 2023 and 2025. The analysis focused on diction, narrative structure, and framing strategies used in reporting divorce cases. The findings reveal that online media frequently portray women filing for divorce through stereotypical and discriminatory narratives that reinforce sexist assumptions. These representations not only marginalize women but also demonstrate limited literacy regarding Islamic family law, particularly its principles of justice, balance, and the equal legal rights of spouses in divorce proceedings. The study concludes that gender-biased reporting reflects broader shortcomings in Islamic family law literacy among online media practitioners. Therefore, strengthening journalists' understanding of Islamic family law, together with the adoption of gender-sensitive reporting guidelines, is essential to promote fair, balanced, and legally informed divorce reporting while reducing discriminatory portrayals of women in the public sphere.

Abstract

Indonesia's electoral system remains a subject of academic and political debate, particularly regarding the effectiveness of open-list and closed-list proportional representation systems in establishing a representative, accountable, and public-oriented democracy. Previous studies have predominantly examined these electoral models from the perspectives of constitutional law, political participation, and democratic institutionalization. However, limited attention has been given to evaluating electoral systems from a substantive perspective concerning the achievement of public welfare and the prevention of political harms. Therefore, this study employs maqāṣid al-sharīʿah as an evaluative framework to assess the quality and consequences of electoral systems. This study aims to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of open-list and closed-list proportional representation systems and to formulate a reconstruction model of Indonesia's electoral system oriented toward public welfare. This research applies a normative legal method using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. Data were collected through library research and analyzed qualitatively using a descriptive-analytical method. The findings indicate that while the open-list proportional system strengthens voter sovereignty, it also creates challenges, including vote-buying, high political costs, economic-political oligarchy, and electoral corruption. Meanwhile, the closed-list proportional system provides stronger party institutionalization but requires transparency and internal party democratization. This study contributes to developing maqāṣid al-sharīʿah as an evaluative framework for reconstructing modern electoral systems based on justice, accountability, and public welfare.

Abstract

Law Number 23 of 2011 on Zakat Management recognizes zakat as a religious obligation for muzakki; however, the absence of legal consequences for non-compliance has resulted in a voluntary compliance model that limits the optimization of zakat collection in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the normative gap between the obligatory nature of zakat and the existing legal framework and to formulate a maqasid al-shariah-based model for transforming zakat compliance from a voluntary practice into a legally enforceable obligation. This normative legal research employs statutory, conceptual, comparative, and Islamic jurisprudential approaches. The data are analyzed qualitatively through legal interpretation and doctrinal reasoning. The findings reveal that the primary weakness of Indonesia’s zakat regulatory framework lies not in the lack of normative recognition of zakat obligations but in the absence of an effective compliance and enforcement mechanism. This study proposes a Maqasid-based mandatory compliance model, which consists of three key elements: (1) legal recognition of zakat obligations, (2) institutional mechanisms for monitoring and ensuring compliance, and (3) proportionate administrative sanctions for economically capable muzakki who deliberately neglect their zakat obligations. From the perspective of maqasid al-shariah, this reformulation strengthens the protection of wealth (hifz al-mal), safeguards the rights of mustahik, and promotes distributive justice. Therefore, reforming Law Number 23 of 2011 is necessary to establish a balanced mandatory zakat system that enhances social welfare, improves the effectiveness of zakat governance, and maintains the principle of legal proportionality.

Abstract

The implementation of restorative justice within the Indonesian criminal justice system has developed significantly as a shift from a retributive approach toward a justice paradigm oriented toward recovery. However, its implementation still faces fundamental problems, including fragmented regulations, inconsistent standards among law enforcement institutions, and the absence of a comprehensive national framework that ensures legal certainty and uniform application. This study aims to analyze the problems of restorative justice implementation and formulate a reconstruction of restorative justice standardization within the Indonesian criminal justice system based on maqashid syariah. This research employs normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, and philosophical approaches. The findings demonstrate that restorative justice standardization is essential to integrate the principles of legal certainty, victim protection, offender accountability, and social restoration. The maqashid syariah perspective provides a philosophical foundation that restorative justice should be directed toward achieving public benefit (maslahah), preventing harm (mafsadah), and protecting fundamental human values. The contribution of this research lies in proposing a national restorative justice standardization model that integrates modern criminal justice objectives with substantive justice principles based on maqashid syariah as a direction for criminal justice reform in Indonesia. Theoretically, this model expands the conceptual foundation of restorative justice by integrating maqashid syariah with contemporary principles of criminal justice, particularly in balancing legal certainty, victim-oriented justice, accountability, and social restoration. Practically, the proposed standardization can serve as a reference for law enforcement institutions in developing consistent procedures and criteria for restorative justice implementation while strengthening victim protection and offender accountability. From a policy perspective, the findings support the development of an integrated national framework for restorative justice that harmonizes regulations and institutional practices across the Indonesian criminal justice system, thereby promoting greater consistency, legal certainty, and substantive justice.

Abstract

In its legal reasoning (ratio decidendi), the Aceh Shari’ah Court has been inconsistent in ruling on divorce cases concerning the interpretation of ‘continuous disputes and quarrels’ as provided for in Article 39 of the Marriage Act and Article 116(f) of the Islamic Law Code (KHI). This issue arises from the lack of clarity regarding the judicial parameters for determining what constitutes a marital conflict sufficient to justify divorce, which has the potential to lead to legal uncertainty and substantive injustice. The aim of this research is to analyze the judges’ reasoning in their judicial interpretation of divorce cases at the Aceh Sharia Court, with a view to realizing the principles of legal certainty and justice for the parties involved. This study employs a normative legal research approach using the case study method, analyzing selected divorce judgments from various jurisdictions in Aceh, supplemented by a comparative perspective. The findings reveal five dominant indicators used by judges: domestic violence (physical and psychological), polygamy without consent, prolonged separation, ongoing conflict, and the doctrine of a broken marriage. However, the formulation of these indicators remains descriptive and lacks standardized judicial benchmarks, thereby creating a tension between procedural legal certainty and substantive justice. From an academic perspective, this study contributes by formulating a typology of indicators of matrimonial disputes in Islamic court jurisprudence and proposing a structured framework to harmonize legal certainty with maqāṣid-oriented justice in divorce courts.

Abstract

Previous studies on the traditional marriage of the Gorontalo community have primarily focused on ceremonial procedures, the relationship between adat (customary law) and Islamic law, and the cultural values embedded in marriage traditions. However, research specifically examining the marginalization of the Tumula offering as an ecological symbol in the Dutu ritual through an integrated Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah and Islamic ecotheology perspective, while proposing an implementable cultural revitalization model, remains scarce. This research gap provides the foundation for the present study, which aims to analyze the factors contributing to the marginalization of Tumula; examine its relevance from the perspectives of Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah and Islamic ecotheology; and formulate a cultural revitalization model that responds to contemporary social transformation. This study employed a qualitative field research approach conducted in East Kota District, Gorontalo City. Data were collected through observations; in-depth interviews with customary leaders, religious scholars, and community members; as well as documentation; and were analyzed using an interactive qualitative analysis model. The findings indicate that the marginalization of Tumula is driven by modernization, digital media expansion, shifting aesthetic preferences, weakening intergenerational cultural transmission, and the declining role of customary institutions. Consequently, the philosophical, religious, and ecological meanings of Tumula have gradually diminished. The novelty of this study lies in positioning Tumula as an ecological cultural symbol analyzed through the integrated perspectives of Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah and Islamic ecotheology, while proposing the RIASED Model (Revitalization through Integration of Adat, Sharīʿah, Ecology, Education, and Digitalization) as an implementable framework for cultural revitalization, environmental stewardship, and the preservation of Gorontalo cultural identity.
