Abstract: The Job Creation emerged as part of a legal-political strategy using the omnibus law approach, aiming to streamline regulations to boost investment and economic growth. However, its implementation has sparked controversy for sidelining social justice and local legal systems. This study conceptually and normatively analyzes the law’s impact on Islamic and customary law through library research. Findings indicate it potentially weakens key Islamic legal principles such as justice (al-‘adalah) and public interest (al-maslahah), and threatens indigenous rights, especially over communal land and local wisdom. The lack of public participation in the legislative process also fueled social resistance. Comprehensive policy evaluation is necessary to ensure a fairer, more inclusive, and sustainable legal direction in Indonesia.
