State of Indonesia is not an Islamic State, so it does not apply Shari'a or referred by the Khilafah state which fully execute Islamic law. Although the majority of Indonesian citizens of Islamic religion, it would be irrelevant if the Shari'ah of Islam serve as the State ideology. Why is that? Because Indonesia is the country that are heterogeneous, when used as the ideology of Islamic Shari'ah State then citizens of non-Muslims will be incorporated into a second-class citizen environment, and people are sensible or non-religious ideologies, such as nationalists and socialists, nor will acquire a respectable position in the country (read: my Islamic, your islam, islam us).
Along with the above, many people who want a comprehensive Islamic Shari'ah into a state ideology, they say: "really ironic, if the people of Indonesia predominantly Islamic relics apply Dutch law, not to apply the teachings of Islam as a whole in the life of society ".
Thus, the need to deepen the view of positive law and Islamic law is needed to create a moderate view. Because basically all legal systems have the same goal of creating justice. This can be tela'ah in the definition of each of the above law.
The positive law: regulations that are forcing, which determine human behavior in a community environment created by official bodies authorities, where the offense against peraturan- regulation was berakibatkan taken action, ie by a certain penalty.
Islamic law: a set of rules which derive from formal rules and customs that are recognized by the community and particular nation as a binder for its members.
From the above definition we can draw a conclusion that both are a rule binding members forced to menta'atinya law. It's just that Islamic law is based on the revelations of Allah. and the Sunnah of the Prophet, as well as valid and binding only for all Muslims. While positive law is the law, customs, treaties, jurisprudence, doctrine. Which is binding member law comprehensively.
From here, you will see some differences between Islamic law and positive law, including the following:
1. positive law from God that brought by the Prophet saw.yang Ma'shum, while God is all knowing what is required by His servants that He memberian law which can realize any benefit and happiness in this world and the hereafter for them. God does not need to be with His servants, He is rich and Most merciful with His servants. The positive law which set is human, everything is limited both in terms of capability, knowledge and their needs to God, besides it is also highly dependent on the skill factor, environment, age, and indigenous customs.
2. that Islamic law governs the relationship between God and His servants on the basis of religion, which is based the calculation of the profit ukhrawi and deeds Zahir and mind. As for the positive law does not have all of it, no strings attached except calculation and looks only and relate to others. So, no filter is associated with a conscience.
3. Islamic law ordered the good and forbidding evil. He covers all forms ebaikan and motivated, forbidding evil and cautioned wantinya. As for the positive law only solve the problem of damage (negative result) and suppose that there is good, it is only a logical consequence. Therefore the only earthly reward carried out by the authorities. While Islamic law, obedient and submissive assessed as worship, rewarded and gets the good of the world, breaking considered immoral and a sin.
4. sometimes positive law legalizing unlawful on the grounds of human benefit. While Islamic law does not like it because God is all knowing all the good even if people do not know.
But in this case does not mean that positive law does not have the advantages that gave birth to a benefit although made by humans rather roman people. But we also can not say that the positive legal system that we know today is a fully reflect the characteristic Roman. The legal system began to emerge in the thirteenth century and since then has evolved, change, or in a word undergo an evolution. During this evolution she experienced improvements, which adjusts to the demands and needs of a changing society. Therefore we can not simply equate the positive law system with Roman law, even though he was a continuation of that law. In the evolution of positive law then much penetrated by elements who came from outside the Roman law including Islamic law contribute to contribute. The excess of positive law are:
1. What is known to be regulated by the
second. everyone, except who can not read, the same gain entry into law
3. knowledge of the law can always be matched back it is written, sehinngga reduce uncertainty
4. for the purposes of development of legal regulation or legislation, to create new ones, then the positive law is written also provide a lot of convenience.
5. Comprehensive legal binding, not only on certain groups
even positive law has many advantages, but it does not at once be equated with increasing the quality of justice, but only about form only. In addition, the use of positive law does not necessarily eliminate the operation of Islamic law which is better known as a tradition in Indonesia. Therefore, we can actually talk about the passage of the two forms side by side arrangement, ie Islamic law could work quietly. Below the surface of the positive law of an official nature. Sociological approach allows us to observe the incident.
