Harmonizing Islamic law with national law in Indonesia is a necessity to realize a fair judicial system that upholds human rights values. This study aims to examine the extent to which Islamic legal principles, particularly those based on the maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah (obligatory objectives), are implemented in Indonesian judicial practice, thus aligning with human rights principles. The research method used is a juridical-normative approach with a legislative approach and literature review. The results show that Islamic legal values are not fundamentally in conflict with human rights, but rather have common ground in the protection of basic human rights, such as the right to life, freedom of religion, protection of property, intellect, and descendants. In judicial practice, this is reflected in regulations in Islamic family law, sharia economics, and several court decisions that accommodate sharia values without ignoring constitutional principles. However, challenges remain in the form of a stigma of disharmony, particularly on the frequently debated issues of religious freedom and gender equality. In conclusion, the harmonization of Islamic law with human rights is a complementary process, which not only strengthens the protection of citizens' constitutional rights, but also affirms the national legal identity based on the nation's religious and cultural values.
