This research is literature with a qualitative approach. Data was collected through literature studies in the form of laws, books, and journals. The collected data is analyzed descriptively with a deductive model. This research shows that the Judicial Commission has been essential in preventing the Contempt of Court in Indonesia. The Judicial Commission of the Republic of Indonesia carries preventive and repressive actions. Preventive actions are carried out to avoid the Contempt of Court, while repressive actions are carried out to deal with the Contempt of Court in Indonesia. In Islamic legal thought, the role of the Judicial Commission is according to the role of Diwan al-Hisbah and the rule of Islamic Law "dar' al-mafasid muqaddam ala jalb al-mashalih" (rejecting harm is prioritized over bringing benefit) and "al-dharar yuzal" (damage must be eliminated). The role of the Judicial Commission in resolving Contempt of Court cases can make courts a safe place to enforce the law in Indonesia.
