Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the system of land ownership in Muslim countries with socialism-religious theory, based on ethics, morals, justice, and divinity. The data of this article refers to the sources of classical Islamic literature as a basic concept of land ownership in Islam and the practice of land law in several Islamic countries. The results of this study show three arguments; First, juridical-normative argumentation by proposing the theory of guardianship and inheritance, which states that the earth and its contents belong to God, which is controlled by the state as a representation of public interest. Second, historical arguments by submitting historical evidence about the policy of reforming land ownership laws, which are reflected in various state policies to regulate the acquisition, designation, use of land, and legal relations between the people and their land to represent the social principles of land. Third, the framework and practice of land law in various Muslim countries is based on two legal values, namely socialistic and religious.
