Design and Characteristics of Islamic Economy: An Alternative Solution to the Global Crisis

Kamali Kamali — 2025-03-01

The failure of the conventional economic system has been clear in world economic history. The occurrence of global crises is the result of the application of the interest system as a result of capitalism and the collapse of the Soviet Union as a tangible form of the failure of the socialist economic system led to the awareness of economists to review the two conventional systems and even require other alternatives that are more ethical and humane so that the same thing does not happen. The Islamic economic system meets these criteria. However, the Islamic economic system cannot be implemented without the support of knowledge about the characteristics and design of the Islamic economy. This study aims to explore the concepts of Islamic economics that are unique compared to the conventional economic system, the design of Islamic economics, and its implementation to anticipate the global crisis. The approach used in this research is a qualitative approach with a systematic literature review method. Data were obtained from scientific journals, books, and official documents relevant to the research topic. The analysis is done descriptively analytically to explore the main characteristics of Islamic economics and develop the system design. The results show that the Islamic economic system that offers a profit-sharing system, as applied in Islamic banks, is resilient in the face of the global crisis. In addition, the impact of the worldwide crisis that adversely affects poverty can be overcome through the instruments of Zakat, Infaq, Sadaqah, and Waqf, which are therefore essential to institutionalize and manage properly, transparently and accountably.

Legal Protection for Unrecorded Waqf: An Analytical Study at the Kuala Tungkal Religious Court

Ahmad Farhan Subhi — 2025-03-03

Unregistered Waqf is still a common problem in West Tanjung Jabung Regency, which can cause legal disputes and hinder the optimization of waqf benefits for the community. Many waqf assets are only declared verbally or through private deeds without official registration by applicable legal provisions. Therefore, this study aims to analyze legal protection for unregistered Waqf through the Waqf isbat mechanism at the Kuala Tungkal Religious Court and the role of judges in determining waqf isbat through legal ijtihad. This study uses a normative juridical method with a statute and conceptual approach. Research data were obtained through observation, interviews with judges at the Kuala Tungkal Religious Court, and studies of relevant documents. The results of the study indicate that waqf isbat is an effective legal instrument in providing legal protection for unregistered Waqf because court decisions can be the basis for nazhir to make official registrations at the Indonesian Waqf Agency (BWI) and the National Land Agency (BPN). Judges in deciding waqf isbat cases are not only guided by applicable regulations but also carry out legal ijtihad by considering maqashid al-shariah to ensure the benefit of Waqf and its legal certainty. However, there are obstacles in the implementation of waqf isbat, such as long administrative procedures and lack of coordination between related institutions, so it is necessary to simplify procedures and harmonize regulations to increase the effectiveness of waqf isbat in protecting unrecorded waqf assets. Thus, waqf isbat can be a more optimal legal solution in guaranteeing the legal status and sustainability of waqf benefits for Muslims in Indonesia.

The research method employed is a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis. Data was collected through a literature review, including articles, books, and other sources relevant to the concept of Maqashid Sharia and the innovation framework in corruption prevention.

Furthermore, the integration of technologies such as blockchain can strengthen efforts in corruption prevention by providing a more open and accountable system. However, challenges related to infrastructure and public understanding of technology must be addressed for the effective implementation of this approach.
