Relevansi Pemikiran Ekonomi Islam pada Masa Rasulullah SAW terhadap Sistem Ekonomi Kontemporer : Kajian Perspektif Maqashid Al-Shariah

This study aims to examine the relevance of Islamic economic thought during the time of the Prophet Muhammad to contemporary economic challenges, such as wealth distribution inequality, ethical crisis, and free market dominance. With a qualitative-descriptive approach through a literature study of classical and contemporary literature, the analysis is carried out based on the maqashid al-shariah framework. The results show that the basic principles of the Prophet's economy, such as the prohibition of usury, distribution justice, protection of property rights, and ethics-based market regulation, remain relevant and applicable in today's global context. Economic instruments such as zakat, infaq and waqf have proven effective as a means of wealth distribution and social security. In addition, maqashid al-shariah plays an important role as a paradigm in evaluating modern economic policies so that they remain oriented towards social justice and sustainability. The conclusion of this study confirms that the Prophet's economic thought is not only historical and normative, but also has practical and strategic value in formulating an alternative economic system that is more humane, ethical, and sustainable.
