Iqtisad

Bu çalışmada, günümüzde üzerinde en çok vakit ve emek harcanan ve dünyevî bir uğraş olarak görülen iktisadın, modern hayattan bir tür kaçış ve uhrevî bir faaliyet alanı olarak algılanan tasavvuf penceresinden görünümü üzerinde durulmaktadır. Bu kapsamda, öncelikle sûfîlerin iktisat anlayışının kaynakları sunulmakta ve temel iktisâdî ve tasavvufî kavramlar birbirleriyle olan ilişkileri açısından incelenmektedir. Tarihte farklı mutasavvıfların iktisâdî düşünce ve uygulamaları ile tasavvuf merkezli iktisâdî ve sosyal teşkîlâtlanmaların tespit edilmesi ve tüm bu çalışmaların birlikte ele alınması ile 'tasavvuf iktisadı' fikrine ulaşılmaktadır. 'Tasavvuf iktisadı' sûfîlerin iktisâdî madde ve hayat karşısındaki düşünce ve tavırlarından hareketle önerilen bir kavramlaştırmadır. Buna göre, tasavvufun iktisat içindeki insan karakteri 'iktisâdî sûfî' olarak adlandırılabilir. 'Tasavvuf iktisadı' mevcut seküler ekonomik ideolojilerden temel konularda farklılaşmaktadır. Sûfîlerin iktisâdî motivasyon kaynakları kendilerine özgüdür ve tasavvuf iktisadının 'iktisâdî tevhid' başta olmak üzere dayandığı bazı esaslar vardır. Anlaşılmaktadır ki, tasavvuf iktisadı vahdeti kesrette bulma, kâinata ulu bir nazar ile bakarak yokluk bilincine ulaşma ve bu yokluk ile hakîkî varlığa erişme yoludur. Bu anlamda tasavvuf ile iktisat insan hayatında birbirinden kopuk iki ayrı alan değil, dünya ile âhiret, madde ile mânâ gibi birbirini tamamlayıcı unsurlardır.

In this study, it is examined the view of economy/economics (iqtisād) which we spend intensive time and effort on it and which is approached as a secular domain nowadays, from the perspective of sufism that is perceived as an escape from the modern life and an ethereal activity. In this context, firstly, the sources of the sufis' understanding of economics are presented, and the basic economic and sufi concepts are studied in terms of their relationship with each other. The idea of 'sufi/sufistic economy/economics' is reached by determining the economic thoughts and practices of different sufis in history, as well as sufism-centered economic and social organizations and considering all these studies together. 'Sufi economics' (iqtisād in/of tasawwuf) is a proposed conceptualization based on sufis' thoughts and attitudes towards economic issues and life. Accordingly, the human character of sufism in economy can be called 'economic sufi (sufi with/in iqtisād)'. The 'sufi economics' differs from existing secular economic ideologies on fundamental issues. Sufis' sources of economic motivation are unique to them, and there are some principles on which the 'sufi economy' is based, especially 'economic oneness (tawheed in/of iqtisād)'. It has been understood that 'sufi economics/iqtisād' is a way to find to unity via abundance, to reach consciousness of nothingness (faqr) by looking at a transcendental view the universe and to access the real existence/being. In this sense, sufism and economy/economics (iqtisād) are not two separate areas from each other, but complementary elements such as the world and the hereafter, matter and spirit in human life.

Critically reviews the process of the Islamization of knowledge as applied toward the discipline of ‎economics over the last thirty years. One of the lacuna behind the not yet fully developed field of Islamic economics is the nondevelopment of its methodological aspects. This has been a result ‎of narrowing the understanding of methodology to that of usul al-fiqh, which unfortunately has ‎been limited to mean the legal sciences or jurisprudence. Since Islamic economics is a social/human ‎science, the way forward is to develop an usul al-iqtisad, or methodology of social science, that ‎may be quite different in its specific rule and criteria compared to the former. The author calls for ‎revisiting the methodological aspect of the Faruqi work plan for the Islamization of knowledge, ‎which has been overlooked and neglected.‎

Islam adalah agama yang sangat menjunjung tinggi harkat dan martabat setiap orang tanpa membedakan jender, baik pria maupun wanita. Akan tetapi sejalan dengan perkembangan zaman, scrupture agama menjadi multitafsir yang mengagungkan jender tertentu dan merendahkan lainnya. Ketimpangan peran sosial berdasarkan jender (gender inequality) dianggap sebagai divine creation, segalanya bersumber dari Tuhan. Berbeda dengan persepsi para feminis yang menganggap ketimpangan itu semata-mata sebagai konstruksi masyarakat (social construction).Ketimpangan peran sosial berdasarkan jender masih tetap dipertahankan dengan dalih doktrin agama. Agama dilibatkan untuk melestarikan kondisi di mana kaum perempuan tidak menganggap dirinya sejajar dengan laki-laki. Tidak mustahil di balik…

The neoliberal economic system is an economic system that is used to support economic and political activities in almost all countries. However, a series of failures emerged from the neoliberal economic system. The basic problem with this system is the creation of high economic inequality at the country level and social inequality at the community level. This study aims to prove the fragility of the neoliberal economic system by using Muhammad Bāqir al-Ṣadr's sharp analysis of Materialism Capitalism. This study uses a literature study method using a qualitative descriptive critical analysis approach, which relies on library research and prioritizes philosophical and theoretical preparation, with the main reference sources being books by Muhammad Bāqir al-Ṣadr, especially Falsafatunā and Iqtiṣādunā. According to Bāqir al-Ṣadr, the Islamic economic system based on the doctrine of Islamic economics is the foundation for the formation of laws relating to the welfare and happiness of society in various aspects of life, including the economy. This economic system is also able to be the answer to the problems posed by various economic systems based on Capitalism and Materialism.

The Islamic financial institutions generally, and the Islamic banks particularly have been interesting phenomena for about last two or three decades. They are believed [by many] to be an interesting, challenging and promising model of the current or conventional financial systems. In the case of Indonesia, despite of the fact that there are two official types of Islamic bank, as they are accommodated by Banking Act No. 7 1992, as well as Banking Act No. 10 1998, there is an additional type as what so-called Baitul Maal wat Tamwil, or abbreviated as BMT. BMTs have even attracted more attention. First, because they are generally unregistered under the normal practice rule such as Central Bank. Second, they have developed very significantly in quantity and spread in very wide areas of different provinces. Currently, there are about two thousand BMTs around the country. This indicates that BMTs have been contributing to the national economy. Third, although the country is hit by the crisis, many BMTs operate smoothly. This is contrary to what might be seen in the fact faced by many formal conventional banks. Based on the above factors, we are interested in investigating what the influencing factors are behind the good performance of BMTs in general. This is the main objective of this study. To answer the research problems, the data were collected from the best 47 BMTs in five different provinces, i.e., West Java, Jakarta Special Territory of Capital, Middle Java, Special Region of Yogyakarta, and East Java. The simple descriptive, as well as the regression analysis, was applied. It is found that there are four main influencing factors. They are the salary rate of management, the education and the management skill of personnel's involved in daily operation and the product attributes. Other factors predicted at the beginning [such as working hours, the number of products] are found to have a negative correlation to the BMT's performance. One important implication of these finding is that there is a serious need to improve the management skill as well as the need to refine the managers' rate of salary.

Waqf is a good deed dedicated by waqif (the person who gives waqf) to his property to nadlir (administrators / recipients of waqf) so that the object can be used by the general public. After the waqf pledge was stated by waqif, then from that moment the ownership of the object was moved to Allah, meaning that the general public now has the right to benefit the object that is represented (mauquuf). The concept that is commonly understood by society as told by the jurists (jurisprudence experts) in some literacies, that waqf is holding back property and using it in the way of Allah, said Sayyid Sabiq in his Sunnah fiqh. On the other hand this opinion is reinforced by the hadith narrated by Ibn Umar whose hadith chunks state: "If you want to, forgive the land and give the results. Then Umar converted his land in Khaibar with the understanding that it should not be sold, granted and inherited". From the statement of the hadith, the understanding was that waqf was eternal and n...

The purpose of the study is to examine the Islamic banks' response to the risk-based weighted capital requirements implemented in 1989. This paper will look at three possible effects; First, will the implementation of risk-based capital encourage substitution out assets in the 100 percent risk category such as deferred payment (debt contract) and, into assets in the less risky categories such as mudharabah and musharakah financing and government investment certificates? Second, will the implementation of risk-based capital (RBC) discourage Islamic banks to utilize the equity financing upon subsidiary companies as the latter is deducted from the total capital base? Third, may the risk-based capital cause a "bigger" loan loss provision, as the concentration of financing is based on the debt contract? This study finds that Islamic banks could reduce financing portfolios in order to increase capital ratios. Second, the core capital ratio is enough to fulfill the 8% capital requirement indicating that Islamic banks do not rely on Tier-2 capital. Third, the higher percentage of debt financing may lead to the losses from debt financing that are entirely absorbed by banks and later, by depositors, resulting in lower return to depositors.

Upaya pemerintah dalam menanggulangi ledakan penduduk melalui berbagai cara, baik yang alami sampai dengan yang menggunakan rekayasa teknologi (baca : alat kontrasepsi). Alat-alat kontrasepsi itu antara lain adalah pantang berkala, kondom, tisu KB, pil KB, suntikan KB, Susuk KB atau AKDR, IUD atau spiral atau AKDR, dan tubektomi. Alat kontrasepsi tersebut pada umumnya digunakan oleh pihak istri. Sementara alat kontrasepsi bagi laki-laki masih sangat terbatas. Sebab itulah KB pria (vasektomi) masih dianggap sebagai sesuatu yang tabu dikalangan masyarakat. Data statistik menunjukkan bahwa wanita lebih dominan dalam aktivitas mengontrol angka kelahiran dibanding laki-laki. Partisipasi laki-laki untuk memasang alat kontrasepsi (ber-KB) guna menyukseskan program keluarga berencana (KB) di Indonesia masih rendah. Penyebab utamanya adalah faktor kultur masyarakat dan pandangan tafsir agama.Vasektomi atau yang biasa diidentikkan dengan KB pria adalah proses operasi sederhana untuk memotong ...

Wacana akuntansi syari'ah di Indonesia perlu dikembangkan tidak saja pada level filosofis, tetapi ke arah teori yang lebih konkrit. Makalah ini pada dasarnya bertujuan untuk memberikan kontribusi bagi akuntansi syari'ah pada level teori, yaitu, khususnya memformulasilkan tujuan dasar (basic objectives) dari laporan keuangan (financial statements) akuntansi syari'ah. Alat analisis yang digunakan dalam makalah ini adalah sinergi oposisi biner yang diilhami oleh nilai-nilai dari tradisi Islam dan Tao. Alat analisis ini pada dasarnya menggabungkan dua hal yang berbeda (dan bahkan bertolak belakang) menjadi satu kesatuan yang tidak terpisahkan, misalnya hibrida antara nilai-nilai maskulin dengan feminin, egoistik dan altruistik, materi dan spiritual, dan lain-lainnya. Dari hasil analisis dapat diformulasikan bahwa tujuan dasar laporan keuangan akuntansi syari'ah adalah untuk memberikan: (1) akuntabilitas dan (2) informasi. Akuntabilitas merupakan representasi dari unsur spirit (ruh, atau, jiwa), atau unsur etika, atau unsur ukhrawi, atau unsur feminin. Sedangkan informasi merupakan representasi dari unsur materi, atau unsur ekonomi, atau unsur duniawi, atau unsur maskulin. Kedua tujuan dasar tersebut menjadi satu-kesatuan yang tidak terpisahkan dan menjadi kekuatan dari akuntansi syari'ah.
