THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ISLAMIC LAW IN INDONESIA WHAT SHOULD WE LEARN FROM SUKU DONGGO

This Bimanese old adage is a manifestation of Bimanese big motivation to implement Islamic law in their daily activities. According to Hamzah (2004) Islamic Law and Adat law has been implemented in the Sultanate of Bima since its establishment in 1640. Since then Bima appear to be a powerful Islamic sultanate in Southeast Asia and produce many scholars and Islamic thinkers. However, since Bima dominated by the Netherlands in 1908 continued by Japan in 1942, and joined the Republic of Indonesia in 1945, the implementation of Syariah Law and Adat law in Bima has suffered a setback. Political reform and regional autonomy that began in 2000 revitalize the spirit of the Bimanese to revive Syariah law and the Adat law and formalize through the formal legal rules. Indigenous groups and Moslem organizations have publicly and vocally demanded the right to implement part of Islamic law and adat law in Bima.
