Definitions
Shari'ah :is the provisions related to regulation of human acts that change caused by
change of apostles (rasul). Shari'a law which came later cancel (naskh) the shariah came
earlier.(WahbahAl-Zuhaili).
However, I mention here also about Islamic law, the Muslim jurists give us a definition of
islamic law, it as ; a communication from Alllah, the Exalted, related to the acts of the subjects
through a demand or option or through a declaration.
Civil Law : The system of law concerned with private relations between members of a
community rather than criminal, military, or religious affairs. The system of law predominant on
the European continent and of which a form is in force in Louisiana, historically influenced by
the codes of ancient Rome.
Harmonization of Law : is a process in which diverse elements are combined or adapted to
each other so as to form a coherent hole while retaining their individuality. In its relative
sense, harmonisation is the creation of relationship between diverse things. Its absolute and
most common meaning, however, implies the creation of relationship of accord or
consonance.
Legislative policies, adat law, and shariah in the late colonial state
Around 1900, various colonial administrators and scholars proposed the replacement of the existing
legal dualism with a system of uniform private law codes based on the Dutch for all inhabitants. After
a long political and academic struggle, the letter succeeded in convincing the Dutch parleament and
government to stick to the prulalistic system and retain the indigenous law of the native, rejecting
proposals for full unification of private laws.
Islamist rebellions, islamic politics, administration, and law in the young repoblic
After independence, the Religious Courts remained in place, in accordance with the constitution's
transitional provision that all laws and state institutions would remain unchange as long as they did not
conflict with the new constitution. The first twenty years of the young Indonesian republic, led by
Sukarno from 1945 until the beginning of the New Order in 1965/1966, constitude a period of much
military, political, and ideological tension and conflict.
Challenges On Application Of
Islamic Law In Indonesia
Secularism
Harmonization of Shariah and civil law may sometimes pose a question of language and style of
presentation, without involving substantive legislation and ijtihad.
As noted,, harmonization is open to the mutual impact of both the Shari'ah and civil law on one
another. Certain aspects of civil law can be made Shari'ah-compliant through amendment, either
subtantive or procedural, of an existing statute in accordance with normal legislative procedures.
Harmonization can be perceived either as a dogmatic and totalitarian activity that demands total
harmony between its various componets.
Harmonization can not be entertained between two diametrically opposing position, e.g. the
two diffeerent possitions of Shariah and civil law on banking interest (riba), one prohibitive, the
other permissive.
Harmonization can be a prospect with discussion of conflict and preference (al-ta'arud wa altarjih),
Conclusion
Looking at the various concepts of harmonization
one may say that some of them have been devised
out of expediency. Then, the harmonisation in
Indonesia between Shariah and civil law can be gain
it with discussion of conflict and preference (altaarudh wa altarjih).
