IMPLEMENTATION of Shariah in ACEH:
Let’s go through a few reports from local and international news agencies:
“A Christian couple were publicly flogged after being found guilty of using a children’s game for gambling, which is a crime under sharia.”

“The province of Aceh, in the north of the island of Sumatra, is the only one in the country to apply Quranic law. The residents of its capital have made it a marker of their identity.”
“The province of Aceh, which has a population of 5.4 million in the north of the island of Sumatra, is the only one in Indonesia – a country of 260 million inhabitants, 87% of whom are Muslims – to apply Sharia, the Quranic law. Islamic courts punish by caning several “moral offences,” including adultery, rape, sexual harassment, sexual relations outside marriage, homosexuality, illegal gambling and the sale and consumption of alcohol – allowing between 10 to 150, publicly administered, lashes.”
“in January 2019, when two 18-year-olds were flogged 17 times in front of a crush of people in front of the mosque in the capital of the province, Banda Aceh, because they were caught hugging each other. In March, at least two women were also left unable to walk after a brutal public whipping for alleged “intimate relations” outside marriage.”

“In Indonesia’s conservative province of Aceh, a long-awaited promise to stop caning criminals in public places lasted only a few months. In April, the governor of the province, Irwandi Yusuf, had pledged that punishments would be held inside prisons instead of in front of mosques, as a response to the international criticism to this practice.”
“However, only one caning was carried out away from the eyes of the large crowds that used to witness the events and take photos of the punishment. In July, Yusuf was arrested for corruption and, with him, the promise also fell. Public caning resumed a few days later, on July 13, when two men accused of having gay sex received 87 lashes outside the Baiturrahim Mosque in the provincial capital, Banda Aceh. Another nine people were caned for spending time together in a private space without being married, while one woman was flogged for selling alcohol, and three other men for consuming it.”

STAND-OUT ALONE:
There are two other provinces/ states in Malaysia which also governed by Shariah but they operate under the federal govt. of Malaysia. Therefore, the Malaysian government can oppose any law if it goes against the federal law and that was the case with those two provinces. One example is that the parliament of Malaysia opposed a law against the LGBT movement in one of those provinces in February 2014.
So, what makes ACEH stand out above all those so-called Muslim countries?
It’s very simple.
Turkey, Malaysia, Pakistan, Indonesia (Federal), Egypt, Morocco etc. all of these countries are directly ruled and governed by the Kuffar’s law through a system of Kufr called ‘democracy’ while ACEH is independent to implements its own law and it is progressing, En Shaa Allah.
LGBT:
“As in 2016, a team which consisted of Wilayatul Hisbah, Satuan PolisiPamong Praja (a civil service police unit), ulama (Islamic scholars), military and police officers conducted sweeping patrols against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender(LGBT) in beauty salons in Meulaboh, the capital city of West Aceh. The sweeping patrols were carried out in order to stop the spread of LGBT in West Aceh since they were prohibited in Islamic Shariah qanun No. 6 of 2013 [8] setting out the law of Jinayah(Islamic penal provisions). The violators were educated by local ulama with the approach of Islamic values. Ika Suhanas Adli said, “When we did sweeping patrols to the salon, we found two men dressed as women. So, we directly educated them as it was the first time. However, the violators, when convicted, can be caned up to 30 times if they do it again”.
Culture/ Music:
The government has issued prohibitions to prevent potential violations of Islamic sharia in Aceh like prohibiting open-air rock music concerts.
