%A NIM.: 21203012013 Tiara Mauliza %O Prof. Dr. H. Kamsi, M. A. %T ISLAM DAN INTEGRITAS PEMIMPIN DALAM SURAT EDARAN KEMENDAGRI NO 821/5492/2022 %X The Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) Circular Letter (CL) No. 821/5491/SJ/2022, which grants full authority to Acting ( PJ), Acting Officials (PJS.), Task Executors (Plt.), and Temporary Acting Heads of Region (Pjs.) to manage regional civil service affairs, has sparked controversy regarding the potential for abuse of power. Although Kemendagri claims the CL aims to improve efficiency, many parties, including the House of Representatives Commission II and political experts, warn that it may facilitate the politicization of power. This study employs a library research methodology with a descriptive-analytical approach and a normative juridical framework. The legal materials comprise primary, secondary, and tertiary data. A qualitative analysis is conducted using the Siyāsah Dustūriyyah (Islamic Constitutional Politics) theory to address the research problem concerning the CL No. 821/5492/SJ/2022. The findings indicate that, according to Siyāsah Dustūriyyah, the circular is feared to lead to Abuse of Power (misuse of authority) by Pj., Plt., Pjs., and incumbent Regional Heads in the upcoming elections. Political observers emphasize that this policy risks centralization of power and transforming regional officials into political instruments within a highly dynamic environment. %K Islam, Integritas, Surat Edaran Kemendagri No 821/5492/SJ 2022. %D 2025 %I UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA %L digilib75243
