From the data above, it can be seen that the rules for implementing Islamic law must be implemented by the community in Lhokseumawe City which is also an obligation for the local government to enforce and carry out the implementation of Islamic Law. The role of communication science in conveying messages as a form of socialization and information to control and implement these goals is a must for local governments.
