ABSTRACT
This chapter concludes all three essential elements of Islamic law and society study in Indonesia, that is, the context, the law in the book, and the law in practice, into a reflective conclusion. It shows that the interrelationships between Islamic law and society in Indonesia – and various actors, institutions, and processes – are dynamic and unfit the binaries of religious versus secular, public versus private, or tradition versus modernity. In the context of corporate zakat, the modernization of sharīʻa's norms has shifted Islamic legal authority back to the epistemic community, that is, the Muslim jurists (ulama), revitalizing the existing governance strategy in Islamic legal tradition, and created a mixed legal and religious consciousness. This concluding chapter also provides avenues for future research in Islamic law and society in Indonesia.
