Abstract

Fiscal policy is a fundamental tool for achieving macroeconomic goals such as economic stability, growth, and income equality. This study explores the concept and philosophy of fiscal policy, emphasizing its role in both modern and historical contexts, including its implementation during the Prophet Muhammad’s era. Employing a qualitative methodology with a literature review approach, the research analyzes fiscal policy instruments, including taxes, subsidies, debt, and state budget expenditures, particularly within the Indonesian context. Findings reveal that fiscal policy reflects Keynesian principles, emphasizing government intervention to address market inefficiencies, stabilize the economy, and promote equitable growth. Historical analysis highlights the philosophical alignment of fiscal policies during the Prophet Muhammad’s time with modern practices, focusing on justice, equality, and sustainability through instruments like zakat, kharaj, and wakaf. The study underscores the effectiveness of fiscal policy during crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, in mitigating severe economic impacts and fostering long-term development. To optimize fiscal policy, this research suggest that governments should enhance transparency, accountability, and technological integration to improve resource management and efficiency. Additionally, adopting principles of equity and sustainability from historical Islamic fiscal policies and fostering collaboration among stakeholders can address contemporary economic challenges while upholding philosophical foundations.

Abstract

This study explores the role of fiscal policy instruments within the framework of Islamic macroeconomics, mainly through the principles of Maqasid al-Shariah, which emphasize social justice and societal well-being. Using a qualitative research approach with a descriptive analysis method, this study incorporates literature review and triangulation techniques, like document analysis and expert interviews, to assess the effectiveness of zakat, waqf, and sukuk in supporting economic stability and social welfare. The findings indicate that these instruments significantly contribute to poverty reduction and infrastructure development, yet challenges remain in governance, transparency, and public awareness. Strategic measures such as regulatory strengthening, institutional capacity building, and financial literacy campaigns are necessary to enhance the impact of Islamic fiscal policies. Additionally, leveraging technological innovations—such as digital zakat platforms and innovative waqf management models—can improve efficiency and transparency. By addressing these challenges, Islamic fiscal policy has the potential to serve as a sustainable and ethical alternative to conventional fiscal systems.
