ABSTRAK Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengungkap karakteristik pendidikan Islam di Aceh Barat. Sebagai wilayah yang menerapkan syariat Islam secara konstitusional, pendidikan Islam di Aceh Barat memiliki corak yang berbeda. Pertama, struktur kelembagaan pendidikan Islam di Aceh Barat memiliki Dinas Pendidikan Dayah yang khusus membina dayah sebagai lembaga pendidikan Islam yang original Aceh. Dayah adalah lembaga pendidikan Islam yang mirip pesantren namun lebih kompleks dalam sejarah dan kulturnya. Lembaga lain yang dibentuk pemerintah untuk menangani pendidikan Islam adalah Majelis Pendidikan Daerah yang berfungsi memberikan pertimbangan-pertimbangan kepada eksekutif dalam pengambilan kebijakan. Majelis Pendidikan Daerah diisi oleh para praktisi dan pakar pendidikan. Mazhab syafiAoiyah yang digunakan oleh masyarakat juga menjadikan pola pendidikan Islam yang lebih preventif terhadap hal-hal yang dianggap berpotensi maksiat. Pendidikan Islam di Aceh Barat juga lebih aplikatif dengan diskusi terbuka pada aspek jinayah dan politik Islam, lebih dari diskusi pada bagian pernikahan, warisan, dan ibadah. Hal ini disebabkan hukum Islam sudah ditegakkan dalam aspek jinayah sehingga diskusi materi pendidikan Islam terkait hal tersebut lebih mudah diamati langsung dari penerapannya di lapangan.

The Regional Education Council is filled with education practitioners and The Syafi'iyah school of thought which is used by the community also makes the pattern of Islamic education more preventive towards things that are considered potentially Islamic education in West Aceh is also more applicable with open discussions on aspects of jinayah and Islamic politics, more than discussions on the sections of marriage, inheritance and worship. This is because Islamic law has been upheld in the jinayah aspect so that discussion of Islamic education material related to this matter is easier to observe directly from its application in the field.

Aceh Barat, otonomi syariah INTRODUCTION The implementation of Islamic law is the dream of Muslim warriors during the struggle for Indonesian independence from colonialism and imperialism. The spirit to implement Islamic law in a comprehensive manner in all aspects of life became the main motivator for Muslim heroes to fight the invaders. The resistance effort they believe is a jihad that must be fought for. Must be fought for because the goal is very noble. Aceh, which is one of the entities from Indonesia, is one of the regions that is consistent in fighting for independence. This struggle was carried out by all groups, from the nobility, the clergy to the grassroots community. The Dutch themselves acknowledged that one of the two hardest resistances experienced by the colonial invaders was the resistance of the Acehnese people, apart from the resistance during the Diponegoro War in 1825-1830 AD. The spirit of resistance of the Acehnese people consisted of two things, first that the people of Aceh were an independent nation and refused to submit to foreign powers. Second, the people of Aceh who are Muslim believe that fighting the infidel invaders is an obligation and a noble deed. If you die in the war, you are considered a martyr. West Aceh is a region that has contributed many names of heroes in the fight against colonialism. There are two very famous names from this area, namely Teuku Umar and Cut Nyak Dhien. The two warriors were a married couple from aristocratic circles who spent the rest of their lives fighting against the Dutch colonial tyranny. The heroic tales of these two heroes have been widely passed down in national history books. Their long struggle ended with the death of Teuku Umar and the exile of Cut Nyak Dhien to Sumedang in 1906 AD by the Dutch The heroes of independence in Aceh have indeed fallen, but the spirit of struggle is still being passed on to One of the main thoughts of the heroes that continues to be inherited by the next generation of Aceh is the application of Islamic law. Thus, in the course of the nation and state after the independence of the Republic of Indonesia in 1945, the people of Aceh continuously echoed this matter in order to gain legitimacy from the central However, with various dynamics that occurred, this desire was not fulfilled. There were many rejections by the government at that time. Finally, after the conflict between the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) and the Government of the Republic of Indonesia ended on August 15, 2005 in the Helsinki Agreement, the desire to realize Islamic law in force in the life of the Acehnese people could be realized in stages. Islamic Shari'a is deeply integrated into the life and culture of the people of Aceh. The economic, cultural, legal and educational aspects are colored by the Shari'a. Islamic education is one of them. In fact. Islamic education is indeed aimed at instilling Shari'a in the lives of Muslims. However, it would be more interesting to examine more deeply the characteristics of Islamic education in regions that apply Islamic law constitutionally. Because Aceh is the only region in Indonesia that has this privilege, in the form of autonomy to implement Islamic law in its area. Perada: Jurnal Studi Islam Kawasan Melayu.
