Description

Syeikh Abdul Rauf Singkel is one of the masterpieces in the history of allay writing in Aceh. The work
written in 1661 demonstrates knowledge of Shari’ah law including the subjects on Crime in Islamic Law,
matrimonial law and criminal law. The major idea that runs through the whole work is that of the role of sultan and ulama in preserving Islamic laws of the state. The importance of Mir’at al-Tullab is reflected in the large number of manuscripts that are available. In spite of its importance, there is still a lack of studies of the work especially those based on several Jawi manuscripts that are known to exist in Leiden University Library. This article is a preliminary
study of five manuscripts of Mir’at al-Tullab kept in the Special Collections, Leiden University Library, and to
identify basic features of the Islamic laws in Aceh in the mid-seventeenth century based on the manuscripts. Mir’at al-Tullab portrays an early example of the implementation of Islamic law in Aceh as to replace the adat law practices that existed before
