In what appeared like a dramatic reversal of previous policies towards organised Islam, President Soeharto in December 1990 gave his personal endorsement to the establishment of the Association of Indonesian Muslim Intellectuals (Ikatan Cendekiawan Muslim Se-Indonesia, ICMI), a body in which former regime critics, associated with the banned Muslim party Masyumi, played leading roles. Led by the man who believes himself to be Soeharto's preferrred candidate for succession, technology minister B.J. Habibie, ICMI remained in the limelight and pioneered various activities of symbolic importance to many Muslims. It established an Islamic (i.e., interest-free) bank and a Muslim quality newspaper that was meant to break the hold of the leading Christian-owned newspapers on the reading public.[1] In the new government, established after the 1992 elections, the Christian ministers who had long controlled the economic ministries were replaced by Muslims with ICMI connections. There was a notable decline of influence of Christians in the higher echelons of the intelligence services and the armed forces.

Islamic law governs all aspects of human life, which includes two laws (rules) of life, namely the category of hablun min Allah (issue of worship) and hablun min al-Nas (muamalah issues in broad sense). Among Islamic law the hablun min al-Nas category (which is called mu'amalah in the broadest sense) is a matter of the rule of how a government is enforced and how the position of law in a country. Studies on this matter have not been evenly implemented and not yet known by all people. This study is interesting, because the rules on siyasah (Constitutional Law) are still in talks by experts, especially Muslim experts. This paper presents how the existence and future of this constitutional law in the study of Islamic Law.
