PARADIGMA EKONOMI BERKELANJUTAN DALAM PERSPEKTIF ISLAM

Abstract

The discourse on sustainable economics increasingly intersects with faith-based frameworks, yet studies integrating Islamic ethical principles with contemporary sustainability paradigms remain fragmented and insufficient. This study examines the sustainable economic paradigm through an Islamic perspective, aiming to identify the foundational principles of Islamic economics that align with, or extend beyond, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to construct an integrative framework of Islamic sustainable economics. Employing a qualitative library research design, data were gathered from primary and secondary sources, including classical Islamic jurisprudential texts, contemporary works in Islamic economics, and peer-reviewed international journal articles. Data were analyzed using content analysis and interpreted through an inductive-deductive reasoning approach. The findings reveal that Islamic economic principles encompassing the prohibition of riba (interest), the institutions of zakat (obligatory almsgiving) and waqf (endowment), as well as the doctrines of khalifah (stewardship) and maslahah (public welfare) constitute a holistic and spiritually grounded sustainability framework that transcends material dimensions. This study concludes that the Islamic paradigm offers a distinctive moral architecture for sustainable economic development that addresses ecological, social, and spiritual dimensions simultaneously.
