The historical journey of the transformation of Islamic Law with various dimensions, namely; historical, philosophical, political, sociological, and legal. The presence of Islamic Law in Indonesia can be seen from two sides, namely: Islamic law applies legally formally or codified in the National legal structure, so the current compilation of Islamic Law was born which recorded the regulations of Islamic Law that have been enforced so far.
