This study explores in depth the compilation of the state financial management system during the reign of Caliph Ali bin Abi Talib (656–661 AD) and its relevance to the dynamics of justice-based budget reform in 2026. Amid global economic uncertainty and increasing demands for fiscal transparency, the management model of the Baitul Maal of the Ali era offered an important paradigm regarding the equitable distribution of wealth and strict bureaucratic oversight. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with a historical-analytical approach. The results of the study show that Ali's policies in removing elite privileges, conducting periodic audits of local officials, and the principle of "spending the budget" for the people are crucial instruments for the reform of the modern financial bureaucracy. The conclusion of the study confirms that the integration of Ali bin Abi Talib's ethics into the state financial management system by 2026 can minimize social disparities and strengthen public trust in state institutions.
