Pergulatan Doktrin dan Realitas dalam Proses Teoretisasi Ekonomi Islam
Abstract: This article
examines the struggle between the doctrine and reality in the process of
theorizing Islamic economics that until now remains a challenge in building the
science of Islamic economics. The process of theorizing is a problem of
epistemology and methodology. As a discipline in the realm of social sciences, Islamic
economics uses authoritative sources of Islam (al-Qur’ân and Hadîth), logic and
empirical experience. Islamic economic theory is expected to grow from all
three of these sources. In contrast to conventional economic theory, the theory
of Islamic economics is expected to grow from Islamic doctrine or principle of
economy and rooted in empirical facts. The methodology of Islamic economics
play a role in integrating doctrine and empirical reality in the process of
theorizing Islamic economics. This article describes the three sources of
Islamic economic epistemology, the link between doctrine and reality, and the
interaction and integration of doctrine and reality in the process of
theorizing Islamic economics. Islamic economic theory that is born must have
integrity and be tested on three dimensions: doctrine, rationality, and
empirical experience.
