dc.description.abstractThis paper examines the integration of Islamic principles with Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods in Muslim-majority societies. It explores the concept of "maslaha" in Islamic law, allowing for pragmatic solutions while upholding justice and fairness. Through qualitative analysis and case studies, it highlights the active role of Islamic scholars in promoting ADR mechanisms, fostering collaboration between religious authorities, legal professionals, and community leaders. Successful initiatives, such as mediation centers in Jordan, Indonesia, and Malaysia, underscore the importance of culturally sensitive ADR mechanisms in addressing social and legal contexts. These initiatives contribute to community cohesion, social justice, and interpersonal relationships, promoting social harmony within Muslim communities. The paper concludes with recommendations for policymakers, legal practitioners, and scholars to support Islamic ADR mechanisms through capacity building, public awareness, legal reform, and technological innovation. It advocates for the recognition and integration of Islamic ADR mechanisms within the formal legal system to enhance effectiveness and accessibility. Keywords: Islamic scholars, Alternative Dispute Resolution, justice, fairness, collaboration
