Abstract

This study aims to explore the implementation of Islamic law in the context of modern society, focusing on the dynamics between tradition and change. Through an experimental quantitative approach, this study uses simple linear regression to analyze the relationship between social, economic, and educational factors with the implementation of Islamic law in various communities. Data were collected through a survey involving respondents from various backgrounds, thus providing a representative picture of the attitudes and behavior of society towards Islamic law. The results of the analysis show that there is a significant influence between the level of education and the community's understanding of Islamic law . In addition, the study also found that economic factors play an important role in influencing the community's acceptance of Islamic law, where people with better economic levels tend to be more open to change and modernization. This study makes an important contribution to the development of an understanding of how Islamic law can adapt and be implemented in a changing social context, as well as encouraging further discussion on the role of tradition in the formation of legal identity in the modern era.
