Abstract

This research highlights the urgency of reformulating the concept of economic growth in secular economic thinking that contributes to the crisis of morality, justice and sustainability. This paradigm measures growth only quantitatively such as through GDP, but ignores the spiritual, ethical or moral, and social dimensions. This research aims to examine Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas' critique of the paradigm and offer an alternative framework based on the Islamic worldview. The method used in this research is qualitative literature with content analysis of al-Attas' main works and related academic literature. The results show that al-Attas sees the epistemological crisis of secular economics as stemming from the separation between science and revelation. He offers a solution in the form of economic Islamisation through the integration of the values of tawhid, adab, and maqashid al-syari'ah. The novelty of this research lies in the philosophical synthesis between al-Attas' metaphysical thinking and contemporary economic challenges, and encourages a shift in economic policy from material accumulation to an ethical and spiritual approach, especially in Muslim countries that want more holistic development.

Abstract

Fraud in cryptocurrency investment is a serious moral and economic deviation within the contemporary digital economy, which impacts the spiritual and psychological well-being of individuals. The Qur'an explicitly prohibits fraud and the unlawful acquisition of wealth (al-bāṭil). This study aimed to develop a conceptual framework by integrating Qur'anic ethical values with principles Islamic psychology to understand the dynamics of cryptocurrency scams, including the behavioural motivations of perpetrators and the psychological conditions of victims. The research used descriptive qualitative method based on a literature review, employing a Thematic Interpretation (tafsīr mauḍū‘ī) approach and Islamic psychology analysis. The results of the study showed that perpetrators of cryptocurrency scams were driven by the dominance of nafs al-ammārah bi al-sū', which is rooted in greed and materialism, while victims were vulnerable due to ignorance and weak spiritual self-control. The Qur'anic framework offers solutions through tazkiyatun nafs, muhasabah, and muraqabah as the ethical foundation for dealing with the complexities of modern digital finance, while contributing to the Islamisation of science.
