Abstract

The influence of political progress and socio-cultural plurality in a society and country makes it possible to reform Islamic law, one of the figures of this reform is Abdullah Ahmed An-Na'im. This research is a literature study, where the researcher wants to obtain the results of an in-depth study regarding the literature on Islamic Legal Reform from the Perspective of Abdullah Ahmed An-Naim. He adopted his teacher's method, namely a revolutionary reform methodology whose essence was an invitation to develop new principles of interpretation that would enable the application of the verses of the Qur'an and Sunnah. This approach, if implemented, will be able to break the deadlock between the goals of reform, the limitations of historical sharia concepts and techniques.An-Na'im offers the idea of sharia reform which allows sharia to address important issues for the future of humanity, such as democratization, world peace, including respect for human rights. The concepts of An-Naim's ideas are (1) Sharia as a historical product, (2) Madaniyah Historical Sharia, (3) Modern Makiyyah Sharia (4) Nasakh as modern methodology.
