With the advent of modernity, the discussion of the state and its related issues was proposed and followed in Islamic civilization. The government is basically the establishment of a public institution to provide and guarantee people's rights. Therefore, it is expected that the government will always defend the rights of the society through a tool called the law.

The hypothesis of the research is that due to the constantly changing nature of human collective life, there is a possibility that under certain conditions the government will be forced to go beyond the law and suspend it. The research results have shown that although the governments, in general, and the Islamic government, in particular, are obliged to respect the rights of different members of the society, they can temporarily suspend the laws in exceptional circumstances and of course under the condition of public interest. The approach of the public law article and the method of data collection was library and documentary
