PENGANTAR POLITIK ISLAM DAN ISLAM POLITIK

Abstract

Politic has been defined simply by Harold Laswell as who gets what, when, how?
Many people say that politic is synonymous with power. The "power" is the ability of a
group to influence other groups according to the subject wishes. Furthermore, the
political experts see the power as a political core and also assume that politic is all a
matter of fight and maintain activities power. It has a purpose related to the interests of the entire community. 

On the other hand mentioned that politic is the process of
formation and distribution of a power in society such as decision-making process,
particularly in countries. This understanding is the incorporation effort between many
different definitions of the political nature which is known in political science. Politic is the art and science to gain power constitutionally and unconstitutionally.

Principally political Islam is to actualize Islamic law as the supreme source of law
in the national legal order. All laws and regulations applicable in a country should refer to the highest legal source Shari'a. If there is any conflict with the shari‟a, then it is automatically canceled regulations. Politics that do not have a mission like this can not be classified as political Islam.
