PRINSIP EKONOMI ISLAM DALAM KESEIMBANGAN SPIRITUAL DAN KESEJAHTERAAN MATERI

Abstract

The principles of Islamic economics are based on a unique concept that emphasizes the balance between spirituality and material well-being in human life. This article explains the main principles of Islamic economics that guide Muslim individuals and communities to achieve social justice, fair distribution of wealth, and sustainable economic growth, The first principle of Islamic economics is the concept of property which originates from religious teachings. Islam emphasizes legal and ethical property rights and avoids usury, excessive speculation, and actions that harm individuals and society. Wealth is considered a trust from Allah, and individuals are given the responsibility to manage their wealth wisely. Furthermore, the balance between spirituality and material welfare is reflected in zakat and alms. Zakat is an obligation to donate part of one's wealth to people in need, while alms is a voluntary act of helping others. These two concepts can help reduce economic inequality and improve people's welfare. The government plays an important role in ensuring economic justice in the Islamic economy. They must implement the principles of fair distribution of wealth, avoid monopoly, and protect individual rights. The concept of "hisbah" or moral supervision also encourages social responsibility in business and trade. This article explains that Islamic economic principles integrate spiritual values ​​into daily economic practices. By achieving a balance between spirituality and material well-being, Islamic economics offers a perspective that has the potential to create a more just society.
