Membangun Konstruksi Keilmuan Ekonomi Islam
Abstract: Theories of Islamic
economics have formed part and parcel of the global study on economy.
Practically on the other hand, Islamic economics have shown its competing
ability and received in turn a cheerful welcome from the business community as
well as from the masses at the global stage. This paper is an attempt to make a
contribution in the field of what we may call the scientific construction of
Islamic economics. The paper proposes that this science consists of two
aspects, namely value and knowledge. With regards to the latter, on which this
paper will pay its major attention, the role of methodology is crucial. This
paper will therefore touch on this issue and the role of methodology in
inventing knowledge and in the analysis of economic datum. Here by methodology
we mean particularly fiqh. We contend that fiqh is in itself methodology. It is
rich with methodological tools such as the concept of maqashid al-syariah (the
purpose of divine law) which may be used not only to analyze economic datum but
also to provide a schemata in resolving some economic problems. By speaking of
fiqh as a science of economics we hope to pave the way for the possible
invention of the science of economics based on fiqh and its philosophy.
