In a legal state entity, politics and law are always intertwined. The presence of the law cannot be separated from the intervention of political policyholders. Meanwhile, on the other hand, the political actors' movements must comply with the laws that have been made. However, legal products as political products are ideally a representation of the aspirations of the people and at the same time can have an impact on the benefit of the people at large. This study aims to explore the trends and configurations of Islamic politics and economic law after reform in Indonesia. This study employed a conceptual- juridical approach and is a type of qualitative research. Data collection techniques were carried out by digging library sources that are relevant to the topic of study. This study found that the trend and configuration of politics and law in the field of Islamic economics in post-reform Indonesia is largely determined by the internal socio-cultural dynamics of Muslims on the one hand, Islamic-leaning political parties in parliament, as well as fluctuations in the relationship between Muslims and the state. A conducive political climate allows the development of the Islamic economic industry joints at the regional and national levels. This dynamic contributes to the process of strengthening Sharia economic values in the legislative process and bureaucratization of Sharia economic law in the national legal arena.
