Abstract

The relationship between Islamic law and national law in Indonesia cannot be adequately explained through a binary opposition between religious norms and state law. It is better understood as a continuing process of negotiation within a legally plural, constitutionally regulated, and socially diverse order. This article re-examines the prospects for harmonizing Islamic law and national law by integrating legal pluralism, maqāṣid al-sharī’ah, and theories of responsive and progressive law. Using normative legal research with statutory, conceptual, historical, and comparative approaches, the study examines constitutional provisions, legislation, selected judicial developments, and recent socio-legal scholarship on the incorporation of Islamic norms into Indonesian law. The analysis demonstrates that harmonization should not mean the formalization of Islamic law as a uniform state code, nor the marginalization of religious norms from national legal development. Rather, it should operate as a constitutional process of translating normatively legitimate Islamic values—especially justice, public benefit, equality, dignity, and protection of life, intellect, family, and property—into rules that are compatible with Pancasila, constitutional rights, and democratic lawmaking. The article further argues that effective harmonization requires simultaneous attention to legal substance, institutional structure, and legal culture. Recent developments in Aceh illustrate both the possibilities and limits of legal pluralism, particularly when regional Islamic regulations interact with national legislation and human-rights guarantees. The article proposes a dialogical and maqāṣid-oriented model of harmonization aimed at substantive justice rather than merely formal regulatory consistency.

Abstract

The intellectual history of sociology has conventionally been narrated through the emergence of European social theory in the nineteenth century. Such a genealogy, however, risks obscuring earlier forms of systematic inquiry into society developed in other intellectual traditions. Among the most significant of these was the social thought of ‘Abd al-Raḥmān Ibn Khaldūn (1332–1406), whose Muqaddimah developed an extensive conceptual framework for explaining human association, collective solidarity, political authority, economic interdependence, and civilizational transformation. This article reexamines Ibn Khaldūn’s social thought as an internally coherent form of classical Islamic social theory rather than simply as a premature equivalent of modern sociology. Employing qualitative library research and a descriptive-interpretive approach, the study reconstructs the relationships among ‘ilm al-‘umrān, ʿasabiyyah, badāwah, ḥaḍārah, religion, political authority, and civilizational change. The analysis demonstrates that these concepts constitute a relational rather than a fragmented theoretical system. ʿIlm al-ʿumrān provides the epistemological and analytical foundation for investigating patterned human association; ʿasabiyyah explains the formation and reproduction of collective power; badāwah and ḥaḍārah identify differentiated configurations of social organization; while religion can intensify and redirect solidarity toward broader political and moral purposes. Political authority emerges from organized collective capacity but simultaneously transforms the social conditions that sustain it. The article argues that Ibn Khaldūn should neither be reduced to a “founder of sociology” in a simplistic chronological sense nor excluded from the history of sociological thought because modern sociology did not yet exist. He is more appropriately understood as a major classical Muslim theorist who developed an autonomous vocabulary for historical-sociological inquiry. Such a reconstruction contributes to current efforts to pluralize and decolonize the history of social theory.
