| Summary: | This study examines the Islamic Shari’a politics and Teungku Dayah’s political authority crisis in<br />Aceh. The main question being answered is how Islamic shari’a is adopted and practiced by the<br />government of Aceh and why Teungku Dayah as traditional Islamic leaders in Aceh did not become<br />the dominant actor and even their political authority those who have been in crisis since the latter part<br />of the New Order era not yet recovered in the political structure that has turned into all-Islam in the<br />post Order Baru.The result of this study indicate that the presence of Islamic shari’a in Aceh in the<br />Post New Order cannot be utilized by Teungku Dayah to recover their political authority that has<br />been in crisis since the latter part of the New Order era. Because as a political formula that is intended<br />to reduce conflict, Islamic shari’a in Aceh since the first fully controlled by the state, bureaucratically<br />managed and modified for the benefit of the ruling power elite. As a result, the political authority of<br />the Teungku Dayah in Aceh on post-New Order era did not recover from but remained as in the<br />previous era. However, Teungku Dayah’s political authority crisis in Aceh was not followed by a crisis<br />of authority in the realm of religion. This fact emphasizez that Teungku Dayah’s political and<br />religious authority in Aceh which is previously integrated have now been separated. |
