The problem of civil society has become an issue among the academicians. The western terminology becomes an attention: is there any compatibility with Islamic teachings? This article explores civil society in the historical records of Islam and ushul fiqh (basic principle of Islamic jurisprudence). Based on historicalnormative studies, it is found that there is a compatibility between civil society and Islamic teachings. The principles of civil society, such as democracy, pluralism, justice, and tolerance, do not conflict with sharia or Islamic law. Moreover, in Islam, these criteria must be owned by leaders and all citizens of a country. Because civil society is aimed to provide benefits for the country, it is compatible with some maxims in ushul fiqh, such as tasharuful Imam 'ala al-raiyah manutun bi al-mashalah, and hukmu Hakim, irzamun yarfa'ul khilaf, which means the country has to be able to create policies that generate common welfare and benefits for society in general.
