SUMBANGAN HUKUMAN TAKZIR ‘UMAR BIN AL-KHATTAB DALAM QANUN ACEH DI INDONESIA: THE CONTRIBUTION OF TAKZIR PUNISHMENT OF 'UMAR BIN AL-AL-KHATTAB IN THE QANUN ACEH IN INDONESIA

Often in commentaries on the Aceh Code, researchers relate it to the status of existing applicable laws and regulations as well as the principles of Human Rights (HAM). As a result, the Aceh Code has been criticized as not being in line with the law; it is even seen as radical, extreme, and contrary to human rights values. However, it is a law built based on Islamic principles. In order to counter this perception of the Aceh Code, this study analyzes the relationship between the Aceh Code and the practice of takzir punishment by 'Umar bin al-Khattab. The researcher used a qualitative method with a documentary research design to collect data from primary documents, namely the Acehnese Qanun and various legal jurisprudence reference books that contain the practice of 'Umar's takzir. Next, an analysis was made to compare the Aceh Code with the practice of takzir punishment by 'Umar bin al-Khattab. The results of the document analysis found that there are similarities between the Aceh Code and 'Umar's takzir practice in the execution of punishments, including flogging, imprisonment, and fines. The Acehnese Qanun even implements these punishments by adapting them to the conditions, culture, and local traditions of the Acehnese community. In conclusion, this study highlights the Aceh Code’s strong foundation in Islamic jurisprudence by drawing parallels between its punishments and the takzir practices of 'Umar bin al-Khattab. Contrary to common criticisms, the Aceh Code is not inherently radical or extreme but reflects a careful adaptation of Islamic legal principles to the cultural and societal context of Aceh. By demonstrating the Code's alignment with both traditional Islamic law and local practices, this research provides a deeper understanding of how Shariah-based laws can be integrated within contemporary legal frameworks while maintaining respect for cultural diversity. Abstrak Seringkali dalam ulasan mengenai Qanun Aceh, para penyelidik mengaitkannya dengan status undang-undang dan peraturan terpakai sedia ada serta prinsip-prinsip Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM). Akibatnya, Qanun Aceh telah dikritik sebagai tidak selaras dengan undang-undang tersebut, bahkan ia dilihat sebagai radikal, ekstrim, dan bertentangan dengan nilai-nilai HAM, sedangkan ia adalah undang-undang yang dibina berdasarkan prinsip Islam. Bagi menangkis persepsi ini terhadap Qanun Aceh, kajian ini menganalisis hubungan Qanun Aceh dengan amalan hukuman takzir ‘Umar bin al-Khattab. Pengkaji
