Contract Structure and Anatomy

The following is an explanation of the structure and anatomy of the contract:

1. Beginning or Head of Deed/Agreement

2. Irah-irah

The beginning of the sharia contract contains the Basmalah sentence and several quotations from the Al-Qur'an which are included before the title, indeed the Law does not mention it. However, according to Muhammad Tahir Manshori, one of the rules of sharia contracts is the intention, purpose, and motivation of the parties. The Basmalah sentence as a motivation for the intention and purpose in making a sharia contract.

3. Contract Title

The title of the contract usually includes: the same as the content of the contract, reflects the provisions that apply in the contract, and the title is not too broad or too narrow. The title of the contract provides an overview of the contents of the contract and is national in nature such as: credit agreement, consumer finance agreement, fiduciary security agreement, motor vehicle leasing agreement.

4. Contract Opening

After the title, there is the deed number, hour, day, date, month, and year of making the deed or contract, as well as the full name of the notary. The purpose of the contract number is as a form of administrative order in accordance with Article 38 paragraph 2 Law No. 30 of 2004. After that, include the hour, day, date, and year of making the contract. Meanwhile, the location of the contract creation date is adjusted to the wishes of the parties, unless the authentic deed already has its own format which is generally placed at the beginning of the contract. There are two models of contract opening, namely: The contract date is mentioned at the beginning of the contract, and The contract date is mentioned at the end of the contract.
