Ekonomi dalam Perspektif Islam
Abstract: Economic misbehavior
would certainly impact on the economic performance of a society. As a religion,
Islam realizes this and knows that economic misconduct must be diagnosed. Islam
encourages that in order for the economic sustenance to be materialized human
and natural resources must be explored to the maximum. Economic sustenance is
the goal for any country. And Islam supports a policy toward that sustenance.
The fact that Islam loves a strong society means that this religion supports a
sound economic policy that would work toward the realization of a well-off
society. The Qur’ân states that one must explore the world and seek the
providence of God. To “explore the world” is a divine command. The logic behind
this command is that, first, one must work to earn fortune so that his worldly
needs can be met, and second, he must develop a system so that he may earn the
fortune both in legitimate and progressive way. In Islam, working is a form of
worship. It is therefore rewarding. But Islam also encourages that we develop a
comprehensive, holistic, realistic, just, responsible, and balanced economic
system so that our economic sustenance may be realized. Islam believes that the
goal of any economic sustenance is the materialization of social and economic
welfare. All members of society irrespective of their race, religion and color
must benefit from that sustenance.
