This paper discusses the implementation of democracy in the role of Ahlu al-Halli Wa al-'Aqdi. It is a representative institution (legislative body) of various elements in society and given some authorities to accommodate and carry out people's aspirations; starting from the matter of electing/appointing state leaders until making laws to regulate other matters related to the interests of the state and the people. In setting a case, the Ahlu al-Halli Wa al-'Aqdi institution, firstly, must be based on the provisions of Allah SWT and His Prophet and, secondly, based on deliberation in line with the provisions of Allah SWT or according to the spirits/values of Islam/Shari'ah. Ahlu al-Halli Wa al-qAqdi's membership consists of people who have great strength both in terms of personality and expertise. However, Muslim scholars differ on the number of members of this institution in the context of electing/appointing state leaders. By discussing the existence of Ahlu al-Halli Wa al-qAqdi as a representative institution, and it always prioritizes the process of deliberation in deciding all cases that become under its authority, then the existence and role of Ahlu al-Halli Wa al-qAqdi institution are parts of the democratic process.Key Words: Demokrasi, Peranan, Ahlu al-Halli Wa al-'Aqdi

This paper discusses the concept of majlis shura according to Khairuddin's thought. He is a military, bureaucrat, and is well known for his social and political progress in Tunisia and as one of the most important intellectuals in the discourse of contemporary Arab thought. His famous book is Aqwam al-Masalik fi Ma'rifat Ahwal al-Mamalik. The discussion of the concept of majlis shura developed by Khairuddin in this paper refers to that book. Finally, this paper finds thatmajlis shura according to Khairuddin's thought is based on the premise that unlimited power tends to be abused although it is undeniable that there is an absolute ruler doing good for the country and his/her people. In addition, for Khairuddin, unlimited power also can not be used as a reference or rules in the implementation of good governance. Thus, according to Khairuddin the power of government should be limited. The restriction must be done in the way of the division of powers, one of which is by majlis shura. Because one of the authority of this majlis shura is to give attitude and response to all problems of the people as well as possible so that the government's decisions do not contradict the interests of the people, then this majlis shura ought to be based on several principles, among which are freedom, deliberation and balance. Key words: Khairuddin Al-Tunisi, and Majlis Shura

Abstrak: Reformasi politik yang dimulai sejak tahun 1998 di Indonesia telah menciptakan Undang-Undang No. 22/1999, kemudian direvisi oleh Undang-Undang No. 32/2004 sebagai kerangka kerja dalam menata hubungan antara Negara dan rakyat pada tingkat desa. Kedua UU tersebut sebagai pengganti Undang-Undang No. 5/1979 sebagai produk rezim Orde Baru. Undang-Undang No. 5/1979 telah menyeragamkan bentuk sistem pemerintahan desa sehingga sama sekali tidak memberikan peluang bagi berjalannya suatu sistem pemerintahan adat (perpaduan) pada desa masyarakat adat tertentu, sehingga hubungan antara negara dan rakyat diikat dengan kerangka sentralistik. Namun sejauh keberadaan Badan Permusyawaratn Desa (BPD) dibahas, kerangka kerja yang dibangun oleh Undang-Undang No. 32/2004 tersebut belum menciptakan hubungan yang baik antara negera dan rakyat pada desa masyarakjat adat, terutama pada desa masyarakat adat saibatin karena belum mampu mengakomodasi kepentingan masyarakat adat yang bersangkutan. Keywords: Adat Community, Village Government, State and Society Relations.

Abstract: The Indonesian Islam: Law and the Ideological Perspective. This article is aimed at exploring the development of Islam in Indonesia with particular references to the ideological perspective and its impact on Islamic law. At the beginning of the twentieth century, there were two ideologies in Indonesian Muslims. The first ideology believes that the consistence with traditions is very important while the other believes that Islamic teachings are able to change according to time and place. Although having difference in orientation, both ideologies devoted themselves to social, religious and political activities. In political sphere, however, both ideologies, were faced with secular nationalist ideology. Such a competition ended with a failure that made Indonesian Muslims receding into the background. After realizing of the failure in politics, both ideologies turn their orientation to cultural Islam. Through this orientation, peaceful and mutual understanding between Muslims and state began to grow. Subsequently, the government, especially New Order regime, identified itself with the religious activities and opened a chance to promote Islamic values. It was from such a relationship that the Islamic law gradually developed in Indonesia. Abstrak: Islam Indonesia: Perspektif Ideologis dan Hukum. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap perkembangan Islam di Indonesia dengan titik berat pada aspek ideologis dan pengaruhnya pada hukum Islam. Seperti dimaklumi, sejak awal abad ke-dua puluh, ada dua bentuk ideologi yang hidup di kalangan umat Islam Indonesia; Ideologi pertama percaya bahwa konsistensi dengan tradisi sangatlah penting sementara ideologi yang lain percaya bahwa ajaran Islam dapat berubah sesuai dengan tempat dan waktu. Meski berbeda orientasi, kedua ideologi tersebut sebenarnya sama-sama memiliki kepedulian terhadap dunia politik. Di dunia politik, kedua ideologi itu, dengan karakternya masing-masing, kemudian berhadapan dengan ideologi nasionalis sekuler. Kompetisi itu yang kemudian berujung kepada ...

This research studied the village regulation making process based on the Law No. 32/2004 and the relationships among head of village, administrators of Village Consultative Board (Badan Permusyawaratan Desa/bpd/bhp), and adat leaders in the village of Adat Saibatin community. The research was conducted in several villages of Cukuh Balak sub-district, Tanggamus district, Lampung province, Indonesia in 2012. The data were collected by employing interview and observation. The results of this study showed that the regulation making process in the village of Adat Saibatin community did not have clear stages to which the regulations were made unilaterally by the head of the village himself/herself. The adat leaders' participation as community leaders in the villages almost disappeared and unstated in the regulations. Furthermore, Village Consultative Board was also in a weak position due to the absence of deliberation and agreement as the core principle known as the villages' law in the process of making the regulations.
