The creed of Islam as stated in the Qur'an and the books of Hadith that contains the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad SAW needs further detailed by qualified person so that the guidance can be used by Muslims. In the history of Islam which has been running for fourteen centuries, the experts who are qualified are the ulama (people with knowledge) has tried to understand, explore, interpret, and discuss Islamic theology with the science of kalam.

The science of kalam nowadays known as Islamic theology. According to Ibnu Khaldun, the science of kalam is the science that discuss Aqidah to preserve the faith by using mind. (Gazalba, 1975: 213) The science of kalam nowadays known as Islamic theology. INTERNATIONAL CLASS-FHUI

(2) Sharia Etymologically, Sharia is a way to go by every adherent of Islam. Technically, Sharia is a set of norms that governs human relationship with Allah, human relationship with other human in social life, human relationship with the objects and the natural environment around him. INTERNATIONAL CLASS-FHUI

The norms formed in: 1. Principle of worship (Ibadah) in a special meaning or called rules of pure worship, managing ways and ceremonies about direct relationship between human with God. This principle revolves about taharah (purification) and arkanul Islam (the pillars of Islam) that consist of shalat, zakat, shaum (fasting), and hajj. INTERNATIONAL CLASS-FHUI

This principle should not be changed, added, or subtracted This principle should not be changed, added, or subtracted. Because it is closed, there’s a general principle of it: “All acts prohibited unless the act is set up by Allah SWT and exemplified by Rasulullah SAW.” In this principle of worship, renewal or modernization of worship is banned, but modernization is available only in the tools that used for the implementation of the worship. If this principle of worship connected with the five principles of Islamic Law, "rules of origin" of worship is prohibition (haram). It means everything in the scope of pure worship is basically prohibited, unless the deed had been commanded by Allah and exemplified by His Prophet. INTERNATIONAL CLASS-FHUI

2.Principle of muamalah - governs human relationship with other human and the objects in the society. - In Al Qur’an and Sunnah, only the main points of this principle that set. The details are open to the mind of qualified person by exercising ijtihad. - This principle is able to be changed by using interpretation that adjusting the time and place factors. INTERNATIONAL CLASS-FHUI

Because it is opened, there’s a general principle of it: “All acts are allowed, unless the act is prohibited in Al Qur’an and Sunnah”. If this principle of worship connected with the five principles of Islamic Law, "rules of origin" of muamalah is a might (ja’iz/ibahah). It means everything in the scope of muamalah is basically a might if there’s no prohibition to perform that act and it isn’t contrary to the spirit of Islamic doctrine in general. INTERNATIONAL CLASS-FHUI

The principle of muamalah divided as illustrated in the diagram below: Munakahat (marriage law) Principle of civil relationship Wirasah (inheritance law) Etc. Principle of Muamalah Jinayat (criminal law) Khilafah/al-Ahkam As-Sulthaniyah (constitutional law) principle of public relationship Siyar (international law) Mukhasamat (procedural law) INTERNATIONAL CLASS-FHUI Etc.

Islamic law must be associated with faith and morals, because in Islamic law, faith, and decency (ethics /moral) can not be separated - Can not be studied using other legal science (because it is secular) - Islamic law is always associated with some key terms, al shari'ah and fiqh - Islamic law governs the whole system of human relationships, both with God, the self-righteous, Community, and the environment. - Islamic law was studied by using its own methodology of Islamic law (usul al fiqh).
