<![CDATA[This study aims explicitly to critically, deeply, and integratively explore the dynamics of political conflicts between Islamic law and national law in Indonesia, at the levels of discourse, legislative practice, and social implications in society. This study utilises a qualitative approach with structured and critical library research methods, relying on tracing, examining, and analysing various authoritative sources. The results confirm that the political conflict between Islamic law and national law in Indonesia has become a sharp mirror for the nation's journey in shaping a just, equal, and dignified life together amid diversity. The recurring tension between the demands for the formalisation of Islamic law by conservative Islamic groups and the state's efforts to maintain the supremacy of pluralistic and constitutional national law has given rise to a legal system fraught with compromise, inconsistency, and even injustice for vulnerable and minority groups. In the tug-of-war of interests, the law often becomes a tool for legitimising identity and power rather than an instrument of substantive justice and human rights protection. This situation demands the courage of the state and all elements of society to break free from the trap of pragmatic compromises and narrow identity politics, and to boldly push for legal reforms oriented towards universal justice.]]>
