ABSTRACT
Speaking of legal sources means we are discussing the validity of the law. As Gurvitch says: "The question of the source of law is only on aspect of the general study of the validity of law". Means from a legal source can be used as a benchmark to see the validity of a law. Islamic and Western law has varying validity. Islamic law of Thecentric pattern has its own validity when returned to its source, as well as the Western law of anthropic-centric tends to negate God in its own law. This paper does not discuss where the source of the law is stronger and also does not judge which one is wrong and true. But this writing is only a basic comparison to see this is the source of Islamic law and this is the source of Western law.
Key words: Islam, Western, Law, Source, Study
