Islamic economics is the study of human behavior in meeting all their needs with the goal of obtaining falah



Islamic economics is the study of human behavior in meeting all their needs with the goal of obtaining falah (peace and world prosperity, hereafter). The word Islam after Islam Economy Economy in the expression serves as an identity without affecting the meaning or definition of economics itself. Because the definition is more determined by the perspective or worldview more precisely used as the basis of value.
At a certain level of issues related to the definition of Islamic economics is to do with the discourse of Islamization of Science (Islamization of Knowledge) Science in Islam over all knowledge dimaknakan as scientifically proven that humans can get closer to Allah SWT (standard revelation - the absolute truth). While Science is widely known in the conventional world is all the science that meets the rules of scientific method (human creation - relative truth).

Human behavior here pertains to the foundations of Sharia as a reference act and tendencies of human nature. And in an Islamic economy, two things interact with each portion is formed to a specific economic mechanism with the basics of the divine.

Here is the definition of Economics in Islam according to the experts:
1.      A. S.M. Hasanuzzaman,
"Islamic economics is the science and application of the teachings and Islamic rules that prevent injustice in the search and the expenditure of resources, in order to satisfy humans and enable them to carry out their obligations to God and society."
2.      M.A. Mannan,
"Islamic economics is a social science that studies the economic problems of the people have the values
​​of Islam."

3.      Khursid Ahmad,

4.      M.N. Siddiqi,
Islamic economics is a response of "Muslim thinkers to the economic challenges of their times. In this effort they were aided by the Qur'an and Sunnah as well as reason and experience. "
5.      M. Akram Khan,
"Islam aims at studying the economics of human welfare (falah) is achieved by organizing the resources of the earth on the basis of cooperation and participation."
6.      Louis Cantori,
"Islamic economics is nothing but an attempt to formulate a science of human-oriented economy and society oriented to resist the excesses of individualism in classical economics."
Economics is a matter of turning the property guarantees among men, so that people can maximize the function of his life as a servant of God to accomplish in this world and hereafter falah (Hereafter). Economics is a collective activity.
slam is the only perfect religion that governs all the joints of human life and the universe. Human economic activities are also arranged in the principles of Islam illahiyah. Treasure that is in us, the reality does not belong to man, but only deposited from God Almighty to be best utilized for the sake of humanity that ultimately all will return to God Almighty to be accounted for.

(HR.Thabrani and Bayhaqi)
Objectives of Islamic Economics All the rules of Allah revealed Islam in the system leads to the achievement of the good, prosperity, virtue, and eliminate crime, misery, and loss of the entire creation. Similarly, in economic terms, the goal is to help people achieve victory in the world and the Hereafter.An Egyptian jurist named Abu Zahra said Prof.Muhammad three objectives of Islamic law that shows that Islam was sent as a mercy to all mankind, namely:
Purification of the soul so that every Muslim can be a source of good for society and environment.
Justice in society. Justice that encompasses aspects of life in the fields of law and muamalah.

An Islamic Economic Alternatives
By: H. Jazuli Suryadhi, S.Ag. M.Sc.
The phenomenon of the world economy has changed from time to time in accordance with the changing times and changing rapidly growing information technology. Many new values ​​are established but it is difficult to determine which one is right and wrong, so sometimes bring good but sometimes misleading. Economic globalization is characterized by the free flow of capital goods and services, as well as trade between countries, has changed the atmosphere of life to be individualistic and competition is very tight.
 Is long enough Muslims in Indonesia, the Islamic world as well as others who want a value-based economic system and the principles of sharia (Islamic economic system) to be applied in all aspects of business life and the people of the transaction. This desire is based on an awareness to implement Islam as a whole and the total as asserted Allah SWT.
It is unfortunate that today are still many people who see that Islam does not deal with banks and financial markets, because the first is a white world, while the second is a black world, full of guile and cunning. Because many people see Islam with its normative value system and order, as the limiting factor of development. Saxon liberalism and pragmatism is considered that the narrow economic and financial activities will grow and flourish when freed from normative values
​​and the signs of divine (Shafi'i Antonio, 2001).
A.    Introduction:
A few decades ago, the world has experienced a polarization of the two forces of economic system, characterized by the two superpowers as the representation of these two economic systems, the U.S. and its western European allies are part of the power of the capitalist economic system, while the economy sosisalis represented by the Soviet Union and Europe Eastern China and Indochina as well as countries such as Vietnam and Cambodia. Two of the economic system was born from two different estuaries ideology so the competition of two economic systems are essentially a clash of two political and ideological development. The position of Muslim countries after the end of World War II became the object of attraction is the two ideological forces. This is due to the lack of vision of economic development construction owned by the leaders of Muslim countries after the birth of the original Islamic sources of the nation state as a result of colonialism and the influence of western colonialism.
In the attractive atmosphere was born the idea to go back to the original system in the last two decades. Economic Islamization movement is then transformed into a movement that was very interesting so far. From here arises the fundamental perntanyaan need answers about what is truly Islamic economic system advantages when compared with other economic systems?
B. Principal - the principal of Islamic Economics.
a. History
Truly has ten centuries before the Europeans set of economic theories, have been revealed by Allah Almighty a typical economic analysis of the Arab region. It's more interesting is that economic analysis does not reflect the situation of the Arabs at the time, but it is for the whole world. So really it is the guidance of Allah, the Lord who knows the deep content and nature of all things. Then the existing economic structure in the word of God, and has very clear rules, the once and have done well by the people at that time. Susatu economic system is a new arrangement that is universal, not an Arab nation the national economy. Economic system of Islam is called economy.
Ideas of scholars or philosophers of the ancient economy was also there. Among them are thought Abu Yusuf (731-798 AD), Yahya ibn Adam (d. 818 AD), Al-Farabi (870-950 AD), Ibn Sina (980-1037 AD), el-Hariri (1054-1122 AD), Imam al-Ghozali (1058-1111 AD), Tusi (1201-1274 AD), Ibn Taymiyyah (1262-1328 AD), Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406 AD) and others. Perhaps it is not the place to mention briefly the contributions of some of them were. Abu Yusuf donation of public finances is the emphasis on the role of the state, public works and agricultural development are still valid even today.
Ibn Taymiyyah's idea about the price of equivalent, its understanding of market imperfections and price control, the pressure on the role of the state to ensure the fulfillment of basic needs of the people and the idea of ​​property rights. Provide some important clues for the development of today's world economy. Ibn Khaldun has given the broader economic definition of Tusi. He assumes that economics is a science of positive and normative. That is the economic study is to improve the welfare of the community, and not the welfare of individuals. Ibn Khaldun who have seen the reciprocal relationship between economic factors, political, social, ethical and educational. He introduced a number of fundamental economic ideas such as the importance of the division of labor, recognition of the contribution of labor in value theory, a theory of population growth, capital formation, cross trading, the price system and so on.
Overall these scholars in general and in particular Ibn Khaldun can be regarded as the pioneer of trade fisiokrat and classical (eg Adam Smith, Ricardo and Malthus) and neo-classical (eg Keynes).
The name gave birth to the impression of a variety of Islamic economics. For some people, the word "Islam" Economic position of Islam in a very exclusive place, thus eliminating the kefitrahannya as the order for all mankind. For others, the Islamic economy is described as the economic result of mixing between capitalist and socialist stream, so the special features of the economy owned by Islam itself is lost.
Islamic economics is actually a system that reflects the nature and once his trademark. With the nature of Islamic economics is a system that can realize economic justice for all people. While the typical cirri, Islamic economics can show his true identity, with all the excess on each system has.
Economic Rabbani became the main characteristic of the model of Islamic Economics. Chapra call with Economic Unity. But in general can be said to be divine economics. Reflection of the character of "divine" Islam is not the economic aspect of economic actors - the culprit for sure man - but on aspects of the rules or systems that must be followed by economic actors. It is based on the belief that all economic factors, including human beings are essentially belongs to God, and Him (the rules) returned all affairs (Sura 3:109). Through economic activity, people can gather as much income as possible, but still within the corridor rule. "He who gives spaciousness or limit the provision of people whom He wills" (Qur'an 42:12,13, 26). Upon divine wisdom, to every living creature has provided sustenance for him he did not refuse to get it (Sura 11:6) But God is never without human guarantee of economic prosperity had been doing business.
As the economy then the economy godless Islam - to borrow a phrase from Ismail al-Faruqi - have a source of "values-normative imperative", sebagaim reference binding. With access to the divine rule, every human act has a moral and religious values. Every human action must not be separated from the vertical values ​​reflect good morals, and horizontally to benefit humans and other creatures.
Islamic economic system has developed a new history in the modern era. By Khurshid Ahmad, known as the father of Islamic economics, there are three stages of development in the discourse of Islamic economics, namely:
First stages, starting when some scholars, who have no formal training in economics, but have problems understanding the socio-economic at the time, trying to solve the problem of interest. They argue that bank interest is haram and Muslims must abandon any connection with conventional banking. They invited the economists and bankers go hand in hand to establish a financial institution based on Islamic principles and not on interest. This period begins at approximately the middle decades of the 1930s and had the top end of the decade progress in the 1950s and the early decades of the 1960s. At that time Pakistan was established in the local Islamic bank which operates not in flower, this financial institution named Mit Ghomr Local
Savings Bank, located in the Nile delta, Egypt. 2. Both phases, beginning in the late decades of the 1960s. At this stage the Muslim economists who are generally educated and trained at leading universities in the United States and Europe began to try to develop certain aspects of Islamic monetary system. They conducted an economic analysis of the prohibition of riba (interest) and propose alternatives that are not interest-based banking. A series of conferences and seminars on Islamic economics held by invited experts, scholars, both Muslim and non-economists. The first international conference on Islamic economics was held in Makkah al-Mukaromah in 1976, followed later by an international conference on Islam and the new international economic order in London in 1977. At this stage appear the names of famous Muslim economists throughout the Islamic world include: Prof. Dr. Khurshid Ahmad, who was named as the father of Islamic economics, Dr. M. Umer Chapra, Dr. MA. Mannan, Dr. Omar Zubair, Dr. Ahmad An-Najjar, Dr. M. Nezatullha Siddiqi, Dr. Fahim Khan, Dr. Munawwar Iqbal, Dr. Mohammed Ariff, Dr. Anas Zarqa and others. They are economists that students in the west but to understand all that Islam as an integral way of live and komprehenshif has its own economic system and if implemented properly will be able to bring Muslims to a commanding position in the eyes of the world.
The third stage is marked by concrete efforts to develop the banking institutions and non-riba in both public and private sectors in the government sector. This stage is a concrete synergy between the intellectual and material efforts of economists, experts, bankers, entrepreneurs and wealthy Muslims who have concern for the economic development of Islam. At this stage has been set up Islamic banks and investment institutions based non-usury with a more clear concept and understanding of the more established economies. The first Islamic bank was founded Islamic Development Bank (IDB) in 1975 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Bank Islam is a cooperation between Islamic countries who are members of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC). The next emerging Islamic banks in majority Muslim countries including Indonesia.
b. Definition and Basic Principles.
Islamic economic experts give the definition of Islamic economics will vary but it boils down to the same relative sense, namely: a science that attempts to view, review, investigate and ultimately solve the economic problems of the Islamic way (based on the teachings of Islam) .
While the basic principles of Islamic economics by Umer Chapra is as follows:
A. The principle of Tawhid, this means that all things in the universe was designed and created intentionally by God Almighty. It is no accident, and it definitely has a purpose. The purpose is what gives significance and meaning to the existence of the universe, including man who became one of the occupants in it.
2. The principle of Khilafah. Humans are the caliphate of Allah SWT. In the face of the earth. He was provided with both physical and spiritual tools to be able to act effectively as his empire.
3. Principles of Justice. Justice is one of the main mission of the teachings of Islam.
c. The foundation of Islamic Economic PhilosophyLots of information from al-Qur'an that mention economic problems, either explicitly or implicitly. How does the buying and selling of good and lawful according to Islam, lending and borrowing with the contract, the contract is valid until the prohibition of usury in the economy. Although the holy books had previously been mentioned, where the act of usury was hated by God. Whereas in order to clarify the technical traditions and example of the Prophet and the clergy.From the name it can be ascertained that the ideology of the Islamic economic system is thick with the nuances of Islam. Islamic economic system provides guidance on humans in their behavior to meet all their needs with the limited means of satisfying dengsn good roads and means of satisfying a course kosher, as well as the acquisition dzatnya.
Object study the Islamic economic system is homo-religious-economy, where it articulates a sense of human nature requires berketuhanan by the values ​​of the Islamic Shari'a. Without having looked at the economic system of Islam as a positive and normative economics. While the other is the object of study as part of a man who had not received guidance and was drowned in a partial life. Derivisi of authenticity in an air-Islam is expected to provide prosperity for all humanity, as Islam was revealed to creatures on this earth to survive prosper.
Economic development of Islam in Indonesia. Economic revival of Muslims in Indonesia along with the rise of the Muslims globally. There is little difference between the development discourse in Indonesia Islamic economic thought to what happens in different parts of the Islamic world, especially in the Middle East. More than half of this twenty-first century scholars and community leaders of Islam in Indonesia is more thinking about how the economic plight of the Muslims who had not been addressed and has always been marginalized by the colonial Dutch.
Therefore they are unlikely to be the time to think about and explore the Islamic economic system itself that his spirit was taken from the Qur'an and as-Sunnah. I think we have not found the writings of Islamic leaders themselves are trying to explain Islam is complete and integrative accompanied by the filing of Islam as a system of life not only in the religious field but also in the field of sosiaal, economics, education, science and others.As a predominantly Muslim, Islamic economic system should be implemented as a universal economic system, which emphasizes transparency, fairness and good governance in managing the business and assets of the state. Where economic practices which run in favor of the common people and in favor of the truth.
Time travel show, that Islamic financial services could be an option to overcome the problem of people who are still experiencing an economic crisis. Is a challenge to the Islamic economic agents to further increase the understanding of a matter of Islamic economic principles, as they will become a potential market for the application of Islamic economics is not likely to be a springboard for the implementation of sharia law in all aspects of life is a dream of many Muslims in this country.
In Indonesia, the Islamic economic practices, in particular Islamic banking has been around since 1992. Beginning with the establishment of Bank Muamalat Indonesia (BMI) and the Rural Banks Shariah (SRB). However, in the decade to 1998, the development of Islamic banks arguably somewhat slow. Because, prior to the issuance of Law no. 10 of 1998 concerning Banking, there is no law that supports the operating system of Islamic banks except Law. 7 of 1992 and Government Regulation. 72 of 1992.
According to Law. 7 of 1992 was conceived as an Islamic bank for the bank. The rest of Islamic banks should be subject to the general rule-based conventional banking. Hence the management of Islamic banks tend to adopt the conventional banking products are "prescribed". With a limited variety of products. As a result, not all community needs are accommodated and existing products uncompetitive against all conventional bank products.
That rule became an obstacle to the development of Islamic banks, due to network growth path sharia bank offices that already exist Conclusion: Islam as a religion that Allah sent down not only for Muslims alone but for the entire ummah in this world (rahmatan lil 'alamin) is universal and multikomplek bersipat, Islam can answer all the problems the world is not utopian or something in the discourse of course, the problem economic livelihood of human beings is also not free from the teachings of Islam. Long before the nations of formulating economic, Islam had already. Lots of information from al-Qur'an that mention economic problems, either explicitly or implicitly. How does the buying and selling of good and lawful according to Islam, lending and borrowing with the contract, the contract is valid until the prohibition of usury in the economy. Although the holy books had previously been mentioned, where the act of usury was hated by God. Whereas in order to clarify the technical traditions and example of the Prophet and the clergy.Islamic economic system provides guidance on humans in their behavior to meet all their needs with the limited means of satisfying dengsn good roads and means of satisfying a course kosher, as well as the acquisition dzatnya.
That is why when other economic system going down, while standing with tegarnya Islamic economics in the middle of the world economic crisis blows of whack. Thus leaving a positive thing that the opening of businesses that Sharia-compliant, this is the time for the experts of Islamic finance (the ulama, Muslim scholars) have to dig up the rules of Islamic law because the economy will be the referral of business sharia.Businesses are growing Sharia now is really in accordance with the principles of sharia or not is our shared responsibility.
