Abstract

The concept of social justice in societal development. Karl Marx, through his socialist economic theory, highlighted the inequality born of the capitalist system, while Umar bin Abdul Aziz, in the Islamic economic tradition, emphasized the principle of equitable distribution of wealth based on sharia values. This study aims to compare the thoughts of Karl Marx and Umar bin Abdul Aziz from a social justice perspective, while identifying common ground and conceptual differences between the two. The study employed a qualitative approach through library research. The analysis was conducted using a comparative-descriptive method. The analysis shows that Karl Marx rejected capitalism because it resulted in class exploitation and proposed the abolition of private ownership of the means of production in order to create a classless society. In contrast, Umar bin Abdul Aziz maintained the recognition of individual ownership but emphasized distributive justice through zakat, taxes, and redistribution policies. The similarities between the two lie in the goal of creating social justice, but fundamentally different in their ideological foundations: Marx's origins stem from historical materialism, while Umar bin Abdul Aziz's is based on monotheism and Islamic law. This comparison of the thoughts of Karl Marx and Umar bin Abdul Aziz demonstrates that social justice can be understood from both secular and religious perspectives. Marx's thought offers a structural critique of capitalism, while Umar bin Abdul Aziz presents solutions rooted in moral and religious values. Both make important contributions to contemporary social justice discourse

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relevance of Ibn Tufail's theory of rationality in Hayy ibn Yaqzan to modern economic thought and its implications for Islamic economic development. This study uses a qualitative method based on a philosophical literature review. This study highlights two main aspects the epistemology of rationality, which emphasizes the independence of reason and empirical experience, and the spiritual ethics of economics, which balances the material and moral dimensions. The results of the study indicate that Ibn Tufail's rationality differs from the purely utility oriented homo economicus. Ibn Tufail offers an integrative rationality that unites reason, ethics, and spirituality, positioning humans as socially and divinely responsible caliphs. The implications of this study can be the basis for formulating Islamic economic policies that are just, sustainable, and oriented towards maqasid al-shariah. This study also recommends further research to develop a model of Islamic rationality in public policy and contemporary economic practice.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the economic leadership of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the Caliphs (Rashidun Ulama) in managing the real sector and public financial system, and their relevance to the modern economy. Using qualitative-descriptive methods with a historical and analytical approach through literature review and content analysis techniques, this study examines classical and contemporary sources related to Islamic economics. The results indicate that the principles of justice, transparency, and social responsibility were the foundation of economic policy during that period, manifested through the ethical management of trade, agriculture, and industry, as well as the strengthening of fiscal institutions such as the Baitul Mal (the Islamic Public Treasury) and the Diwan (the Islamic Treasury). This system successfully rejected exploitative practices such as usury, gharar, and maysir (trading), while creating a stable economic structure oriented towards the welfare of the people. These findings demonstrate that classical Islamic economic values are relevant to addressing issues of social inequality, fiscal crises, and weak governance, and can serve as a foundation for developing ethical, inclusive, and sustainable modern economic policies.

Abstract

This study aims to compare the economic thinking of three great Islamic scholars, namely Ibn Khaldun, Abu Hamid Al-Gazali, and Ibn Taymiyyah, specifically regarding the concept of price and market mechanisms. Ibn Khaldun emphasized the importance of the forces of supply and demand in determining prices and viewed prices as a reflection of socio-economic dynamics. Al-Gazali emphasized the ethical and moral dimensions of trade, emphasizing the prohibition of hoarding and the importance of justice so that market mechanisms do not harm society. Meanwhile, Ibn Taymiyyah emphasized that prices are basically formed naturally through market interactions, but the state has the right to intervene if fraud and injustice disrupt the balance. A comparison of these three figures shows a similar view regarding the role of the market as the main mechanism and price formation, but differs in the emphasis on social, ethical, and regulatory aspects. Classical Islamic economic thought has provided a relevant normative and practical foundation for understanding modern market mechanisms in a just manner

Abstract

Departing from the limited number of studies that position Islamic economics as a contextual historical product. This research aims to reconstruct the epistemology and trace the genealogy of Islamic economic thought in the pre-modern Islamic kingdoms of the Nusantara by highlighting the role of manuscripts, economic institutions, fiscal policies, and trade practices in shaping the early Islamic economic system of Indonesia. This study employs a qualitative approach using historical discourse analysis, philological examination of Malay Arabic manuscripts, and genealogical mapping of ideas. The findings reveal that the epistemology of Islamic economics in the Nusantara represents a hybrid construction integrating Islamic principles sharia, local customs ‘urf, and maritime trade networks. Institutions such as the baitulmal, hisbah, and syahbandar played crucial roles in establishing equitable fiscal systems and market supervision. The intellectual genealogy demonstrates continuity between royal scholars’ fatwas, state economic policies, and coastal community practices, which later became the conceptual foundation for the development of modern Islamic economics in Indonesia. This study underscores the importance of interpreting Islamic economics through historical, contextual, and epistemological perspectives to uncover its intellectual roots within the Nusantara tradition.
