Transformation of Political Leadership in Indonesia According to Islamic Law: A Study of SIYASAH SYAR'I

Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the transformation of political leadership in Indonesia according to Islamic law. In the study of siyasah syar'i, political leadership must not be obtained through dirty means but through agreed mechanisms. Siyasah syar'i is present as a mediator in the midst of leadership conflicts so that the resulting leaders can carry out their functions as community services. The method used in this research is qualitative descriptive by reviewing data found in the field and processed through literature review. The research results show that political leadership in Indonesia only carries out its functions normatively and it is necessary to strengthen Islamic law so that political leadership runs conducively. Siyasah syar'i is a method formulated by Ulama which was formulated in Islamic studies to find answers to political leadership in Indonesia. The source of siyasah syar'i studies adopted the leadership system of the Prophet Muhammad in governing the State of Medina.
