“…The existence of Admiral Malahayati, Cut Nyak Dhien, and Cut Meutia as national heroines is evidence of the recognition of female figures in the public sector, gender equality in Indonesia, and the development of post-conflict Aceh [53]. The values of assertiveness, courage, and integrity became the main foundation in influencing the actions of leaders during the war against the invaders.…”

Acehnese women's leadership is an interesting topic to discuss because of the strong Islamic law in Aceh. There have been several transformations in Acehnese women's leadership so it has become a topic of discussion and debate among the Acehnese people. This research aims to (1) describe the transformation of Acehnese leadership from a historical perspective and (2) describe the leadership of Acehnese women as a source of historical learning. This study is qualitative research with a historical method. The main source of this research is an article that contains the transformation of Acehnese women's leadership. The stages of this research are heuristics, verification or criticism, interpretation, and historiography. This study resulted in two findings. First, there have been several transformations of Acehnese women's leadership, including Laksamana Malahayati, Cut Nyak Dhien, and Cut Nyak Meutia. Second, Acehnese women's leadership as a source of historical learning includes the values of assertiveness, courage, and integrity as important points for the realization of student character. This research is a reference for teachers in fulfilling historical learning and for future researchers in conducting research about the transformation of Acehnese women's leadership.

“…Even during the conflict era, attention to the women who are mainly involved and suffered because of conflict did not get enough attention. Based on a study done by Clavé (2014) shows that the existence and role of women combatants, the inong balèë, were almost negated in the conflict between the Free Aceh Movement/ Gerakan Aceh Merdeka (GAM) and the Indonesian state army . This condition, however, left a damaging impact on the contemporary recognition of women combatants.…”

“…This condition, however, left a damaging impact on the contemporary recognition of women combatants. 29 On the other side, some reasons regarding women's degradation in the public sphere are addressed to the formalization of sharia law. As criticized by many scholars or researchers, some Islamic sharia regulation has impeded women's freedom in Aceh through hijab (veil) policy, khalwat, and caning as the sanction.…”

This article aims to discuss women and their access to the public sphere after a long term of the last three decades of armed conflict in Aceh. As many occurred in the other most conflict regions, women are mostly victims of any regime policies, either in political or economic access. This article would like to elaborate more on how women's position perceived within Acehnese society in the post-conflict Aceh since 2005? Furthermore, how are religious doctrines being interpreted regarding women’s issues in the post-conflict Aceh? By combining literature reviews and interviews as the primary source of data collection, this article argues that the long army conflict in Aceh and unfortunate Aceh's current political context are the leading cause of women's position degradation in Aceh and not because of the religious interpretation contestation. Thus, even though the formal sharia implementation has taken place in Aceh since 2002, male political domination and contestation have influenced women's position degradation in contemporary Aceh's public sphere.

“…

However, the discourse on women from an Islamic perspective still needs to be solved in relation to the interpretation of women's leadership (Marzuki, 2014). The issue of women's leadership is still an exciting discussion and invites controversial debate (Clavé, 2014). Classical Islamic scholars who interpreted Islamic religious texts (Qur'an and Hadith) related to leadership in Islam and prohibited women from being appointed supreme leaders in power caused the controversial debate (Tohet & Maulidia, 2018).In addition, the development of patriarchal culture is very crystallized in people's lives (Alatas, 2023;Arfah, 2023), has resulted in the marginalization of women's roles in the public sphere, and provides excellent opportunities for men to dominate the leadership field in the highest power (Lekchiri & Kamm, 2020;Tohet & Maulidia, 2018), because patriarchal culture has an identical view that men have a superior position (Alotaibi, 2021), while women are placed in an inferior position (Kadir, 2021;Mohd Noor, 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.
