Synergy Between Islamic Law, Islamic Politics, and Islamic Economics in Building a Modern Islamic Civilization

Abstract

Synergy between law, politics, and economics supports each other in building a modern Islamic civilization that is just, competitive, and based on sharia values. From an Islamic perspective, these three aspects do not stand alone, but are interrelated within the framework of maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah to achieve the welfare of the people (maslahah). This study uses a descriptive-analytical approach by examining primary Islamic sources such as the Qur'an, Hadith, and the thoughts of classical and contemporary scholars. The results of the analysis show that Islamic law functions as a moral and normative foundation in regulating society; Islamic politics plays a role in ensuring justice, stability, and trustworthy governance; while Islamic economics is an instrument for the fair and ethical distribution of wealth. The synergy of these three elements gives rise to a modern Islamic civilization system that is inclusive, adaptive to global developments, yet remains grounded in the principles of monotheism, social justice, and balance. Thus, the integration of Islamic law, politics, and economics is the key to building an advanced and sustainable Islamic civilization in the modern era.
