This book seeks to open new lines of discussion about how Islamic
law is viewed as a potential tool for programs of social
transformation in contemporary Muslim society. It does this through
a critical examination of the workings of the state shari'a system
as it was designed and implemented at the turn of the twenty-first
century in Aceh, Indonesia. While the empirical details of these
discussions are unique, this particular case presents a remarkable
site for investigating the broader issue of the impact of
instrumentalist, future-oriented visions of Islamic law on modern
Muslim calls for the state implementation of Islamic law. In
post-tsunami/post-conflict Aceh, the idea of shari'a as an exercise
in social engineering was amplified through resonance with an
increasingly pervasive rhetoric of 'total reconstruction'. Based
upon extensive fieldwork as well as critical readings of a wide
range of archival materials, official documents, and local
publications this work focuses on the institutions and actors
involved with this contemporary project for the state
implementation of Islamic law. The individual chapters are
structured to deal with the major components of this system to
critically examine how these institutions have taken shape and how
they work. It also shows how the overall system was informed not
only by aspects of late twentieth-century da'wa discourses of
Islamic reform, but also modern trends in sociological
jurisprudence and the impact of global models of disaster relief,
reconstruction, and development. All of these streams of influence
have contributed significantly to shaping the ways in which the
architects and agents of the state shari'a system have attempted to
use Islamic legislation and legal institutions as tools to steer
society in particular desired directions. This is an open access
