Islamic Economics for the benefit of Mankind
There
are three economic systems that exist on this earth, namely, the
capitalist economic system, the socialist economic system, the economic
system and economic mix. All these systems are some of the economic system that developed based
on the thinking of those western, in addition to the three systems,
there is no system that is successfully applied in various countries
around the world.All
economic systems of thought western people is already very evident that
no one can succeed until now, the system also proved unable to provide
benefit to mankind on this earth, the evidence of unsuccessful all the
system starting from the dissolution of the Union Soviet
into some parts of the country in the year 90s, followed by the poor
results of all these systems, that poor countries become poorer, the
rich countries are relatively few become richer. All that became clear proof that all economic systems the thinking of
those western bring harm and destruction to the world economy.Currently we mankind is looking for an appropriate way to solve all these problems. How to? Yes, there is only one economic system that will lead to mutual benefit, namely the Islamic Economic System. A
system in which the guidance is based on the Qur'an and Sunnah, as well
as a system that will bring mankind to the path blessed by Him. The
development of Islamic economic system today is not to menyayingi
existing economic system, but how this system serves as a cover shortage
of all economic systems that have been there before. The
system is based on Islamic religion (دين الإسلام), because Islam as
"rahmatan lil Alamin" is a mercy to the worlds, has meaning, Islam is
not just for the Ummah of Islam, but also to all His creatures on the
face of this earth. Islam highly regulate various aspects of human life in this world, from waking up in the morning to sleep again at night. Everything has been set up within the Islamic religion in detail,
merely to achieve the pleasure and happiness of Allah the Creator in the
world and in the hereafter later.In
the Islamic religion economic activities should be based on the laws of
Personality ', meaning there may be carried out and instead there
should not be carried out, in other words "there should be ethics". Economic
activity is one form of worship to God, according to His word:
إلاليعبدون والإنس الجن وماخلقت (az-dzariyyat: 56) means: "And I have not
created the jinn and mankind except to beribdah to Me". Islam also teaches that man is not justified for the secular, which is
split between the activities ukhrowi and the world, there must be a
balance (balance) between the life of the world to the hereafter will
come.In
the Islamic religion is essentially a treasure we have is God Almighty,
the property is a divine gift and also as a surrogate of us His people
in this world. Therefore, it is obligatory to keep and use in accordance with the guidance of the Qur'an and Sunnah. Islamic religion has clearly explain the rules relating to the issue of the treasure. Islam has set in problem assets from the side of the way to get it,
and then how to use it, to give way to the beneficiary, be it in the
form shodaqoh, infaq, and charity.Islamic economic system there are three grounding in the application, namely Tawheed, Aqeedah and Shariah. Tawheed,
it means that the economic system is based on only one sole purpose of
achieving the pleasure of Him in every economic activity that has been
carried out on various sides of life. Aqidah,
means that this economic system guarantees against all economic actors
contained therein shall have the aqidah is good and right in order to
avoid brutality or injustice in any economic activity that is
implemented. Sharia,
meaning that this economic system shall be based on the appropriate
guidance of sharia (Qur'an and Sunnah) are applicable in any economic
activity that is implemented. Surely when the third runway has fulfilled the Islamic economic
system, in the end will bring benefit to all of mankind on this earth.Currently
the countries in Europe and America slowly many are beginning to switch
from conventional economic system to the Islamic economic system, they
have found an appropriate way to address the problems of economic crisis
that has befallen their respective countries, namely the Islamic
Economic System. This
system manages to be a solution to the problems posed by the injustices
of conventional economic system, it shows that Islam does bring good to
all, not just for the people of Islam only. Islamization in economics make economics that already exist today become more Islamic and fair. Islamic
economic system has advantages in terms of both science and systems, in
the world of professional Islamic economics is also needed by the
market because according to demand. In the Islamic economic system there is also the name for the result,
the meaning is the risk, in the conventional bank if the borrower goes
bankrupt, then the guarantee will be taken, the bank will not give a
damn, but with Islamic economic system, there will be granting deferral
period.Islamic
economics as well as a perfect solution to alleviate poverty, the
system is considered very suitable for poverty alleviation programs, it
is most appropriate because of the poor are not seen as the lazy, but as
a party that does not have access to a better life, where lies the
difference system Islamic and conventional economics. Islamic economic system is not aimed at collecting treasures as much as possible. But, what about a better life can be achieved together, helping each
other meaning is (تعاون) in the goodness that has excess property to the
need of the treasure.Islamic economic principles have synergies (تعاون) means helping each other. According
to his word: وتعاونوا على البر والتقوى ولاتعاونواعلى الإثم والعدوان
(al-Maidah: 2) means: "And please-menolonglah you in (doing) goodness
and piety, and do mutual assistance in sin and transgression". This principle allows the person who first achieved success it can help others. Such cooperation can realize the Islamic Ummah forward together. Islamic
economic system will be more to teach us to care for people in need
around us, be it in the form of material and non material. The
success that has been obtained can not be said to be a perfect person
if you are still overwhelmed surrounding shortage even poverty. Therefore, be of personal benefit to others. Prophet Muhammad said:(لا
يؤمن أحدكم حتى يحب لأخيه ما يحب لنفسه) متفق عليه means: "No believing
man before he loves for his brother what he loves for himself" (HR.
Bukhari, Muslim). In another hadith is also mentioned (الناس أنفعهم للناس (خير meaning: "The best man is useful for other human beings".Speaking
about the development of Islamic economic system in our country
Indonesia, Alhamdulillah we should be grateful together that the system
is getting today continues to grow rapidly, all of this is based on the
awareness of Islamic economics Indonesian society of the higher of the
day, ranging from the development of Islamic banks up now
more advanced, coupled also with the growth of other Islamic financial
institutions such as insurance and Islamic finance companies is growing
rapidly, and in the economic activities of the public market in
Indonesia is getting mengendepankan honesty and fairness in carrying out
its activities Inshallah. The willingness of society on Islamic economics increasingly good is
judged to be the main capital of Indonesia to be able to outperform the
growth of Islamic financial institutions in other countries, because the
capital is not shared by some other countries, due to the growth of
Islamic financial institutions in other countries is driven by
government policy.Encouragement
from all levels of Indonesian society ranging from micro-economic areas
up to large employers greatly assist the development of Islamic
economic growth in the country of Indonesia, one that has succeeded is
in knowing sharia financing scheme. All
this must be coupled with support equitable economic socialization
Shariah by non-governmental organizations throughout the territory of
Indonesia, a source stated that the growth of Islamic financial
institutions in the homeland of Indonesia is predicted to be able to
achieve more than 50 percent in the coming year. The growth was not only in the banking world, but also in other
Islamic financial institutions such as insurance and finance companies
sharia.Hopefully
the whole growth of sharia economic system present in the end will
bring benefit to all of mankind in this world, which is essential in
order to achieve happiness in the Hereafter later. Allahumma Amin Yes Rabbal Alamin....

History of Islamic Economic System
With
the collapse of communism and the socialist economic system in the
early '90s to create a system of capitalism extolled as the only
economic system that is valid. But it turns out, the capitalist system brings negative effects and
even worse, because many poor countries get poorer and the rich
countries are relatively few get richer.In other words, capitalists failed to enhance the dignity of many people, especially in developing countries. In fact, according to Joseph E. Stiglitz (2006) the failure of the American economy '90s because of the greed of capitalism. Failure
to fully from the economic systems that exist is because each economic
system has weaknesses or deficiencies are greater than the advantages of
each. Weakness or deficiency of each economic system is more prominent than the excess.Because
of weaknesses or shortcomings is more prominent than the good that is
causing emerging new thinking about economic systems, especially among
the Muslim countries or countries with a Muslim majority that Islamic
economic system. Countries
that are predominantly Muslim tries to realize an economic system that
is based on the Koran and the Hadith, the Islamic economic system that
has managed to bring the Muslims at the time of the Prophet boost the
economy in the Arab Zazirah. Of thinking is based on the Koran and the Hadith, is currently being
developed Islamic Economics and Islamic Economic System in many Islamic
countries, including Indonesia.Islamic Economics and Islamic economic system is the embodiment of Islamic paradigm. Economic
development of Sharia and Islamic economic system is not to compete
with the economic system of capitalist or socialist economic system, but
rather is intended to seek an economic system that has advantages to
cover the deficiencies of the existing economic system. Islam
handed down to earth, is intended to regulate human life in order to
realize peace and happiness of the people living in the world and in the
hereafter as the highest economic value. The people here are not simply Muslims but, all the people on the face of the earth. Tranquility
of life not only to meet the needs of life are abundant in the world,
but also can meet the spirit of peace as a provision in the hereafter. So there must be a balance in meeting the needs of living in the world with the need for the afterlife.The Three Basic Principles Concerning the economic system according to Islamic ShariaTauhid, this principle reflects that the authorities and the sole owner of the universe is God Almighty.Khilafah, present that man is the vicegerent or representative of God
on earth, endowed with a set of mental and spiritual potential and
completeness of the material resources that can be used to live in order
to spread the mission of his life.'Adalah, is integral with the objectives of sharia (maqasid al-Sharia). The
consequences of the Caliphate and the principle of 'It is demanding
that all of the resources is a mandate from God to be used to reflect on
the purpose of sharia, namely; fulfillment (need fullfillment), appreciate sources of income
(recpectable source of earnings), income distribution and the prosperity

Finance Planning in Ramadan and Eid

Finance Planning in Ramadan and Eid
Fasting and Eid tradition repeated each year. This was the period when incomes increase and at the same time spending also increased.THR existence for employees, and the increase in sales for merchants led to an increase in people's income.
On the other hand, expenses also increased. Ranging from food and beverage shopping, especially for iftar, shopping for clothes and new shoes, the cost of transportation back and forth, giving gifts and gifts, to the rising cost of telephone communications, including SMS.Increase in revenue and expenditure patterns that have been running this year, should be anticipated in order to avoid big wedge of the pole. Often there is an increase expenditures greater than the increase in revenue that after Eid instead of debt has not few in number.To anticipate this, the expenditure was to be planned more carefully. First, the identification of components that are usually the most substantial expenditure. For those who are going home, transportation cost component was the one that used to be the largest component, especially when the need to use aircraft. To get around this, preferably air ticket had been purchased well before Eid. Nine months or later than six months prior to the Lebaran preferably air ticket has been purchased to get a cheap ticket. If not possible to buy all at once for the whole family, then buy one or two tickets for each month ranging from nine months before the Eid. Thus it is estimated the entire ticket has been purchased in advance at a low price.Second, do not pile up all the expenses during the period of Eid. Often various activities stacked before Eid. Ranging from painting the house, buy new furniture, new electronics, also goods tableware new drink. Of course it will feel heavy when all spending is done in one month alone. To get around this, the activity should be spread in other months. To paint the house for example, three months before Eid so that it still looks new when widths. To purchase equipment even eat and drink can be purchased gradually. To buy furniture such as a month before Eid.Third, allocate and limit expenditures for iftar outside the home. Imagine if there are five members of the family and everything iftar outside the home. When a person spends thirty thousand rupiah, meaning one hundred and fifty thousand rupiah for one day of breaking the fast. Customize with financial capability, choose specific days for iftar with family outdoors.Fourth, set aside a minimum of ten percent of THR to increase family savings. The urge to spend THR is usually very large, so it would be wise if when receiving direct THR to set aside a tenth of the savings that will be very useful after the party after the joy of Eid.

Meaning of Money in the view of Islam

Meaning of Money in the view of Islam
Money is running an economy lubricants have always been a hot topic for discussion. Like an engine without oil, the economy will not work without the money. However, many of us who only understand the meaning of money in the context of its form as banknotes and coins. In
fact, the definition of money is anything that can be accepted as a
means of payment for goods and services in an economic system. In fact, in ancient times people used stones, animal skins, salt, and shells as money. At
the time of the Prophet (SAW), gold coins (dinars) derived from the
Roman and silver coins (dirhams) derived from the Persian are the two
precious metals are considered as a currency. In the current era, paper money (fiat money) have become a common means of payment used in all countries in the world.At
the origin of money has three important functions, namely as a medium
of exchange, store of value, and measuring the value of a commodity. However,
with interest menyebarluasnya system in today's financial transactions,
the function of money has grown into a commodity. The function of money as a commodity is supported by several contemporary financial theories such as the Loanable Funds Theory. In
this theory of interest (interest) is considered as the price of the
funds available for borrowing (loanable funds), which became one of the
variables that affect supply (supply of) and demand (demand for) of
loanable funds. Based
on the above theory, it can be concluded that the supply of loanable
funds will be willing to lend money to borrowers only if the borrower is
willing to pay back the loan in an amount greater than the principal. The difference between the amount to be paid the principal borrower and that is called interest. By contract, the price (interest) is to pay the borrower under any
circumstances (the borrower's business or loss) to the lender, since the
lender has considered selling a commodity called money.Here is very clear that in the current financial system, money has been regarded as a commodity that can be traded. This is in contrast with the view of Islam that does not accept the function of money as a commodity. That's because the money does not qualify as a commodity. According
to Sheikh Muhammad Taqi Usmani, Shariah experts in Islamic finance,
there are at least three factors that distinguish money to commodities. First, money has no utility instrinsk (intrinsic utility). In contrast to commodities, money can not be eaten, worn, or used directly. Money can only be exchanged for commodities, and commodities that will be eaten, worn or used. In economic terms, the money only has value in exchange as commodities have value in exchange and value in use at once.Secondly,
money does not need the quality to determine its value, in terms of
paper money Rp 100,000 worn published in 2007 with the money of Rp
100,000 new paper published in 2009 has the same purchasing power. As
with other commodities, for example, a car Honda Jazz Honda Jazz 2007
with the output of the output in January 2009 have different prices. This shows the difference in quality between the two car above is reflected in the difference in value and price.Third,
money does not require the specification when the enactment of the
transaction, while commodities have specific properties when enactment
of the transaction. For
example, if we want to buy the goods we will choose the things we want
as our tastes, such as color, other complementary accessories. That is, if the seller offers the same goods but the color does not suit our taste maybe we will refuse. However, another case with money that is not specific. For example, for the payment of monthly electricity bills amounting to Rp 300,000. we
can pay these bills by using three sheets of Rp 100,000 or four sheets
of Rp 50,000 to Rp 100,000 plus a single sheet even we could pay the
bill with three hundred pieces of Rp 1,000. For the recipient will not be any difference in the value of the third way of payment on top.There is one additional difference between commodity money, especially with fiat money that we use today. Paper money (fiat money) that apply currently has no intrinsic value (intrinsic value). Banknotes became legal tender by law issued a state that declared the validity of the money. This
shows that the acceptance of paper money as a means of payment only to
the government because of the trust factor that guarantees the validity
of the banknote. That
is, if the trust is lost or reduced the value of the money will be
weakened (terdepresisasi) due to more people off, by selling the
currency, rather than to have it. Because obviously, have no intrinsic value.However, it should also be emphasized here that fiat money is money that is valid at the shari'a. The author does not agree with the view that gold is only valid at the shari'a. Indeed,
the true gold is the money the best and most stable in value, and if we
can re-use gold as a standard of value for money, of course, the
world's financial system will be far better. However,
claims that only gold or silver are recognized Islam as the money and
the gold and silver it is not legitimate, it is an excessive claim. The
proof, Caliph Umar never intended to make camel as a currency, but then
advised so as not to do it, because later camels will disappear from
life. Likewise
Imam Malik once said that if people make the animal skin as a currency,
he undoubtedly would prohibit the sale and purchase of animal skins but
with cash and may not be the toughest. Although
today we are excited to return to the gold as the standard value of the
currency, we do not need to be exaggerated and extreme by saying that
fiat money is forbidden. Proscribe kosher is just as bad in Islam to justify the unlawful. If
fiat money forbidden, of course dowry we become invalid, and our
marriage is not valid, then our children also are so illegitimate. Is not that logical consequence of the said fiat money haram? Allaah knows best.
