Globalization and Paradigm of Islamic Law Implementation in Aceh

Abstract

This paper aims to identify and describe the global challenges that have influenced the Islamic law implementation in Aceh. Further, this article analyses Aceh's Islamic sharia law implementation paradigm based on these global challenges. This article is qualitative research with a descriptive analysis approach. The data used in this paper consists of primary and secondary data. Primary data were obtained from field observations and books on implementing Islamic sharia law in Aceh. Secondary data was obtained from books discussing Islamic sharia law in general. Then the method of interpretation and qualitative descriptive analysis was carried out. The study found that the challenges of globalization that influenced the Islamic sharia law implementation in Aceh have multi-dimension issues. Based on these global challenges, the Islamic sharia law implementation in Aceh needs a new paradigm. A new paradigm has to be connected with values, problems, and responsive and anticipative methods of Islamic sharia implementation. Implementing Islamic values constitutes the mission of protecting human rights, including protecting religion, life, property, generation, reason, honor, and the environment.
