<![CDATA[Amdisy the wave of secularization and westernization during the Tanzimat Period a view emerged that Sharia law was no longer relevant to serve as the foundation for a modern constitution. This study aims to examine the validity of that view by analyzing the dynamics behind the birth of Majalla al-Ahkam al-Adliyyah and evaluating the relevance and adaptability of Islamic civil law substance in modern constutitutional formation. The research method utilized is a Narrative Literature Review with a normative-historical approach, which combines critical literature review with a comprative analysis of the jurisprudential maxims of the Majalla, the Turk Medeni Kanunu, and the Burgerlijk Wetboek (BW). The results of this study prove that Islamic Civil Law is highly relevant, continuous, and progressive. The comparative study demonstrates the absence of contradictions between Western and Islamic laws. In fact, modern principles have been systematically integrated into Islamic Civil Law since ancient times. Although the Majalla has limitations, as tit only explains muamalah law and excludes other civil areas such as family law, the core substance of Sharia within the Majalla underscores that Islamic law is not a rigid and conservative system, but rather a progresive law.]]>
