Family disputes over inheritance are a common social and legal issue in Indonesian society, often leading to long-term conflicts and even legal battles. This situation is influenced by the complex legal system of inheritance in Indonesia, which is pluralistic and includes Western civil law, Islamic law, and customary law. It is further complicated by social, cultural, economic, and psychological factors among the heirs. This study aims to analyze the causes of family disputes in inheritance distribution and examine the role of law in providing certainty, fairness, and benefits for all parties involved. The research method used is normative legal research with a jurisprudential approach, through the study of relevant legal regulations, legal doctrines, and court decisions. The findings show that inheritance disputes are generally caused by unfair distribution of assets, differing interpretations of law, conflicts between customary law, religious law, and national law, as well as poor communication and lack of transparency within the family. Therefore, resolving inheritance disputes requires not only the enforcement of law in a normative manner, but also non-litigious approaches such as mediation, family consultation, and increased legal awareness to maintain family harmony and legal certainty.  

Communication has an important role in building awareness of Islamic law among Muslim citizens. Through effective communication, Islamic legal norms and rules can be understood, internalized and applied in everyday life. This article discusses the role of communication in increasing awareness of Islamic law by analyzing various communication approaches, such as da'wah, education, and social media. By using literature review methods from various scientific sources, it was found that modern communication media, such as social media, are increasingly playing a role in conveying the message of Islamic law to the younger generation. In addition, persuasive and educational da'wah has proven to be an effective means of increasing understanding and compliance with sharia law. However, challenges such as disinformation on social media remain obstacles that need to be overcome with digital literacy based on Islamic values.
