KONFLIK DAN KETEGANGAN DALAM HUKUM ISLAM: ANTARA IDEALISME DAN REALISASI

Abstract

Conflict and tension between idealism and implementation in Islamic law are natural phenomena in the history of Islamic civilization. The primary responsibility of Islamic thinkers, scholars, and legal practitioners is to find harmony between sharia principles and the needs of modern society. The purpose of this study is to analyze the Conflict and Tension in Islamic Law: between Idealism and Realization. The implementation of the law does not always align with its ideals due to various social, political, cultural, and even internal constraints within the Muslim community itself. This tension arises from differences in legislation, interpretation, and social application, making Islamic law appear inconsistent across locations. Contributing factors include globalization, limitations in contextual ijtihad, diverse societal attitudes, and state legal systems that do not fully support sharia. However, this tension should be seen not as an obstacle, but as an opportunity to strengthen the dynamics of Islamic law through a maqasid approach, educational reform, scholarly dialogue, and inclusive legislation. In this way, Islamic law will remain alive and relevant in facing the challenges of the times without losing its fundamental values.
