Hubungan maqasid syariah dan siasah syar’ iyyah dalam urus tadbir negara
Mohd Hapiz Mahaiyadin1.
This review discusses the maqasid syariah and its relation with siasah syar’iyyah in the context of government administration that emphasizes the welfare of the people. This is due to the integral unity between politics and Islam in maintaining the benefit of Muslims as discussed earlier by fuqaha. This qualitative study would analyze the discourse of classical authentic fiqh books on the mentioned statement. The objective is to identify the correlation between maqasid syariah with the formulation of government policy, particularly in the time of Khulafak alRasyidin. In this study, siasah syar’iyyah was presented as an important mechanism in the governance of an Islamic state. The form of its operation was displayed in some examples of cases that involve the use of instruments of ijtihad such as qiyas, maslahah mursalah, istihsan, sadd al-zarai'k and uruf in the process of making important decisions in line with maqasid syariah. The study also found that the Khulafak al-Rasyidin had also mobilized siasah syar’iyyah in achieving maqasid syariah through government policies that protect many benefits of the people. All government’s actions should conform to maqasid syariah which means that all policies, laws, regulations would not be in conflict with the demands of the Quran and Sunnah. Thus, the practice of the past Khulafak al-Rasyidin had left a good political tradition to the leaders of the present government in running the country's governance.
