Musa Bigiyev was one of the first Islamic scholars who drew attention to Western models of constitutional structure as a possible way of enshrining the fundamental legal values of Islam. In this regard, the concept of "Quran constitution" was born. Addressing the category of constitutionalism, Musa Bigiyev very positively assessed its importance in the modern world. However, the issues of constitutional structure in the Muslim world have not been widely developed. There is no discussion of this topic in the classical fiqh manuals. The study aims is to identify Musa Bigiyev's perception of the problem of the relationship between constitutionalism and Islamic law. To achieve this goal, general scientific (philosophical, logical) and specific scientific methods (formal-legal, historical-legal, comparative-legal) were used. Musa Bigiyev wanted to increase interest in the category of constitutionalism among Muslim lawyers by appealing to historical analogues of the times of the Prophet Muhammad. In a number of works, Musa Bigiyev discusses the possibility of constitutionalizing the legal order in Muslim countries. M. Bigiyev considered the Quran to be the main source for the constitutionalization of the Islamic legal order. Pursuing this idea in 1946 in Bombay, he drafted his own "Islamic Constitution" ("Constitution for Islam").
