Deradicalization, Terrorism, Islamic Criminal LawAbstract
The phenomenon of radicalism and terrorism is a multidimensional global threat that demands a
comprehensive response, not only from the repressive aspect, but also preventive and
rehabilitative. This article analyzes the concept of deradicalization from the perspective of
Islamic criminal law by focusing on the foundation of sharia, the role of ta'zir, the significance of
ishlah and tawbah, as well as contemporary fiqh perspectives. The research shows that the
principles of Islamic law, such as maqasid sharia, amar ma'ruf nahi munkar, rahmah, justice,
and the concept of discretionary sanctions, provide a strong framework for de-radicalization
programs. The article argues that Islam, with its emphasis on the betterment of the individual and
society, offers internally relevant and humane solutions in countering extremism.
