Abstract

The tension between religious norms and constitutional supremacy is a persistent issue in state administration practices in Muslim-majority countries. These two sources of legitimacy often coexist in the legal system, creating a space for interaction that is not always harmonious. This situation is influenced by social, political, and institutional factors that shape the ongoing direction of legal regulation. This study aims to analyze the configuration of the relationship between religious norms and constitutional supremacy and its implications for state governance and public life. This research uses a qualitative approach utilizing secondary data obtained from various relevant sources, including previous studies and legal documents. The results show that the relationship between religious norms and the constitution is formed through diverse patterns and is influenced by the role of state institutions and socio-political pressures. This interaction impacts the consistency of legal application, the protection of citizens' rights, and the balance between diversity and unity of law. The state's ability to manage this relationship proportionally is a crucial factor in maintaining social stability and government legitimacy.
