This study aims to analyze the integration of Risalah al-Qada’ values and progressive law in realizing executorial justice post-divorce in the Religious Courts. Employing a normative legal research method with a qualitative interpretative-conceptual approach, data were gathered through a literature review of progressive law, Risalah al-Qada’, and court decisions. Data validity was ensured through critical reading and literature triangulation. The findings reveal that the integration of these two paradigms is capable of dismantling the executorial deadlock trapped in positivist formalism, by encouraging judges to engage in judicial activism and legal discovery (rechtsvinding) that favors vulnerable groups. However, structural challenges such as patriarchal culture, institutional passivity, and reliance on the ex-wife’s initiative remain critical obstacles that perpetuate the execution gap. Ultimately, this research demonstrates that the implementation of Risalah al-Qada’ values not only provides a prophetic-ethical foundation for judicial activism but also actualizes the principles of Maqasid al-Shari’ah through the substantive protection of life, lineage, and wealth (hifz al-nafs, hifz al-nasl, hifz al-mal) for ex-wives and children.
