Khalifah Umar Abdul Aziz was well-known as a practitioner of Islamic-based politics. His political practices had succeeded in restoring the image of Muslim politics at the time. Considering that nowadays, Muslim political figures are corrupted with ideologies of the extremist, liberalist, pluralist, and secularist, can Islamic political practice of Khalifah Umar Abdul Aziz be applied today? Based on this concern, this article aimed to examine the Islamic political practice of Khalifah Umar Abdul Aziz appropriate for the restoration of today’s political figure. In order to achieve this, this article was written through documents research in order to obtain secondary data. Then, the data were analysed using the method of content analysis. As a result, there are six Islamic political practices of Khalifah Umar Abdul Aziz appropriate for implementation that can be suggested for the restoration of Muslim political figures today. First, political practices based on justice; second, political practices based on amar makruf nahi mungkar; third, political practices based on trust; fourth, political practices based on shura system; fifth, political practices based on redistribution of wealth; and sixth, political practices based on social protection.
