“…Despite facing turmoil and threats from groups opposing women's leadership in Aceh, Sultanah Aceh's leadership has successfully overcome these challenges through dialogue and compromise (Yunus, 2016;Rahman, 2019). Therefore, the involvement of clerics in Aceh, such as Abdurrauf As-Singkili, became a significant factor because they were able to translate Islamic religious texts and oppose patriarchal cultural practices as a form of liberation from all ties that harm women to become leaders in the public sphere (Ansor & Amri, 2020).…”

This paper aims to reconstruct the history of Sultanah Safiatuddin’s leadership in the Aceh Sultanate and analyze Abdurrauf As-Singkili’s involvement in supporting women’s leadership in Aceh. This paper uses historical research methods. The use of historical research methods in this research is carried out through five steps: topic selection, heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The results of this study show that the Aceh Sultanate in the 17th century underwent a vital change marked by the emergence of the leadership of Sultanah Safiatuddin (1641-1675) as a representation of women’s leadership in the Aceh Sultanate in the 17th century. During his 34 years leading the Aceh Sultanate, Sultanah Safiatuddin recorded some outstanding achievements despite the many serious threats. Many factors caused the emergence of the leadership of Sultanah Safiatuddin, and one of them was the involvement of scholars in Aceh, such as Abdurrauf As-Singkili, who gave full support to the leadership of Sultanah Safiatuddin. The support given by Abdurrauf As-Singkili to the leadership of Sultanah Safiatuddin can be traced through three steps as follows: (1) Abdurrauf As-Singkili was willing to publish the book Mir’at al-Thullab written at the request of Sultanah Safiatuddin. In Mir’at al-Thullab, Abdurrauf As-Singkili expresses a critical thought about the ability of women to be appointed leaders and judges; (2) Abdurrauf As-Singkili accepted the offer of Sultanah Safiatuddin to be appointed mufti or advisor to the Aceh sultanate with the post of Qadhi Malik al-Adil; and (3) Abdurrauf As-Singkili succeeded in stopping opposition groups that were anti- women’s leadership. The three supports confirmed that Abdurrauf As-Singkili recognized and strengthened women’s leadership in Aceh led by Sultanah Safiatuddin. This support became crucial for the leadership of Sultanah Safiatuddin because Abdurrauf As-Singkili had transformed into a political force owned by Sultanah Safiatuddin.

“…The existence of Qanun Jinayat in the Indonesian legal system is often perceived as an anomaly. Although Indonesia is "neither an Islamic nor a secular state" (Seo, 2012(Seo, , p. 1045(Seo, , 2013, one of its regions has the privilege of implementing Islamic law (Ansor, 2016;Ansor et al, 2016;Ansor & Amri, 2020;Salim, 2018;Pohan, 2020). The implementation of Islamic law was tolerated because of the specific socio-cultural, political, and historical context of Aceh in modern Indonesia (Salim, 2004).…”

<p>This article examines the experience of Acehnese female victims of sexual violence seeking justice through Qanun Jinayat (Islamic criminal bylaw) in Aceh, Indonesia. The empirical data in this study were collected through in-depth interviews with the victims and families related to the cases of sexual violence. By employing the narrative agency, this article argues that telling the experience of seeking justice is a way female victims of sexual violence express their resistance to the implementation of Qanun Jinayat in Aceh. Regarding this, we will show that Aceh’s Qanun Jinayat, which was originally implemented to eradicate sexual violence, turns out to have limitations in realizing the desired goals. This finding ultimately confirms that the concept of legal pluralism adopted in Aceh, Indonesia, has liminality in facilitating justice for women and other marginalized communities.</p>

“…The issue of religious conversion becomes even more serious when the individual is a Muslim woman converting to Christianity. The accusation that Christians deliberately have a Christianization agenda by marrying Muslim women with the purpose of spreading Christianity among Muslims, as is the case in Aceh, exists among the public (Ansor & Amri, 2020).…”

There are in the tense of Christian-Muslim relations in Indonesia since the time of the New Order until today. The issues in Christian-Muslim relations include conversion (of faith) with marriage and celebrating Christmas. These two issues are constantly associated with religious politics in Indonesia. The issues have kept tensions to reoccur, although according to Indonesian history, Christianity and Islam had jointly driven colonialists away and participated in founding the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. In addition to theological affairs, the two issues relating to the tension of Christian-Muslim relationship have also impacted political and economic affairs. This article provides description of tension between Muslims and Christians in Indonesia in the case of conversion from Islam to Christian with marriage and celebrating Christmas in Muslim communities. The work concludes that in order to reduce tension between Christian and Muslim, all efforts to conduct theologia religionum dialogs should be sought, and social justice between Christians and Muslims should be created in the country. All of this is none other than a model of religious practices that have surpassed symbols. This is called passing over religious practices with new religious experiences.
