<![CDATA[The disparity between the size of Indonesia’s Muslim population and the low level of Islamic financial literacy—which stands at just 39.11 per cent—serves as the starting point for this study; a paradox that raises questions about the extent to which the economic values set out in the Qur’an have truly been incorporated into the educational practices of the Muslim community. Using a literature review method with a thematic exegesis (tafsir maudhu’i) approach, this study examines verses on work ethic and the ownership of wealth through four exegetical works (Ibn Kathir, Al-Qurṭubī, Al-Mishbah, and Al-Azhar), combined with a content analysis of literature on the maqāshid al-sharī’ah and contemporary entrepreneurship education. The findings reveal that the four exegetes, despite differing eras and geographical contexts, concur in viewing economic activity as a sphere of worship that is inseparable from social and national responsibilities, with hifz al-mal serving as a proactive framework that encourages endeavour, rather than merely a defensive prohibition. This research proposes a model for a Qur’anic entrepreneurship education ecosystem that integrates a maqashid-based curriculum, contextual pedagogy in the tradition of Nusantara exegesis, and the prudent utilisation of Society 5.0 technologies. These findings affirm that the economic self-reliance of the Muslim community is not an ideal existing outside the guidance of divine revelation, but rather a trust awaiting revival through concrete educational curricula and policies.]]>
