Abstract
The rapid growth of Indonesia's Islamic finance industry has significantly increased the complexity of legal relationships between Islamic financial institutions and their customers, resulting in more sharia financing disputes. This development has raised the need for legal certainty regarding the jurisdiction of judicial institutions in resolving such disputes in accordance with national law and sharia principles. This study analyzes the strengthened jurisdiction of the Religious Courts in resolving sharia financing disputes following Indonesia's Constitutional Court Decision No. 93/PUU-X/2012. This research uses a normative legal research method, employing statutory, conceptual, and case approaches by examining legislation, court decisions, and relevant legal literature. The findings indicate that the Constitutional Court Decision has eliminated the dualism of judicial authority between the Religious Courts and the General Courts by affirming the Religious Courts' absolute jurisdiction over sharia financing disputes. This strengthened jurisdiction enhances legal certainty, better protects disputing parties, and reinforces public confidence in Indonesia's Islamic financial dispute resolution system.
