Considering% that% the% Shari'a%does% not% provide% standard% rules% regarding% political%systems% and%
government,%Muslims%must%try%to%bring%out%the%legal%values%contained%in%the%Shari'a%so%that%the%most%
likely%formulation%can%be%found%to%translate%these%values%into%the%life%of%the%nation%and%state.%In%discussing%
the%state,%there%is%no%agreed%definition%of%the%state.%However,%in%general,%it%can%be%used%as%a%guideline%-%as%
is% commonly% known% in% international% law,% a% state% usually% has% three% main% elements,% namely% (1)% The%
existence%of%a%people%(2).%The%existence%of%territory%(3).%The%existence%of%a%sovereign%government.%The%
meaning% of% the% state% is% not% only% based% on% a% social% agreement% (social% contract)% but% also% the% basis% of%

comply%with%His%commandments%to%achieve%prosperity%in%this%world%and%the%hereafter.%Thus,%in%general,%

RESULTS%
A. The!Concept!of!the!State!in!General!and!Islam%
The%state%is%an%association%that%carries%out%order%in%a%society%in%a%region%based%on%a%legal%
system%organised%by%a%government,%which,%for%this%purpose,%is%given%coercive%power.%According%to%
Meriam%Budiaharjo,%the%state%has%two%tasks.%First,%controlling%and%regulating%asocial%phenomena%of%
power,% namely,% those% that% conflict% with% each% other,% so% that% they% do% not% become% dangerous%
antagonisms.%Second,%organising%and%integrating%human%activities%and%groups%towards%achieving%
the%goals%of%society.%
Therefore,%the%state%has%coercive,%monopolistic,%and%all-encompassing%characteristics%(all-
encompassing,%all-embracing).% What% is% called% a% state% must,% of% course,% have%several%elements%that%
must%exist%in%a%state,%which%include%territory,%population,%and%government.%The%goal%of%every%country%
is%to%create%happiness%for%its%people.%According%to%Harold%J.%Laski,%a%political%expert,%the%function%and%
purpose%of%a%state%are%theā%creation%of%those%conditions%under%which%the%members%of%the%state%may%
attain%the%maximum%satisfaction%of%their%desireā.%
Meanwhile,%in%the%historical%context%of%the%practice%of%countries%so%far,%there%are%several%
types%of%rules%of% law,%namely,%the%police%state%(police%state),%liberal%legal% state,%formal%legal%state,%and%
