The settlement of criminal cases in Indonesia is still dominated by a retributive approach that is oriented towards punishment, so that the role of victims is often neglected and the burden of cases in the courts continues to increase. This condition encourages the need for a more humane alternative settlement through a restorative justice approach, especially in the Jambi District Court which has begun to accommodate this concept through various Supreme Court regulations. This research aims to analyze the form, mechanism, and constraints of the application of restorative justice in criminal cases in the Jambi District Court, as well as formulate an optimization model through the perspective of Islamic law. This study uses a qualitative method with a juridical-empirical approach. Primary data was obtained through in-depth interviews with the Deputy Chief Justice of the Jambi District Court, judges, prosecutors, investigators, community leaders, religious leaders, legal academics, and victims of crimes, while secondary data was collected from decision documents, laws and regulations, and relevant Islamic legal literature. Data analysis was carried out in a descriptive-analytical manner by linking field findings with restorative justice theory and the concept of maqāṣid al-syarī'ah. The results of the study show that the implementation of restorative justice in the Jambi District Court has been running, but it is still limited to certain cases and faces juridical, structural, and cultural obstacles, especially in the form of regulations that are not synchronized and the retributive paradigm is still strong among law enforcement officials and the community. The discussion emphasized that the values of islah, 'afw, diyat, and qishas in Islamic law have a strong conformity with the principle of restoration in restorative justice, so that the integration of the two has the potential to strengthen the moral and social legitimacy of their application. This study concludes that the optimization of restorative justice in the Jambi District Court requires strengthening regulations, the capacity of judges as facilitators, and the integration of Islamic law values as a moral foundation in realizing substantive justice that is oriented towards benefit.
