The paradigm of production in modern economics, rooted in capitalism, has led to the dehumanization and alienation of humans from their innate nature (fitrah). Production is no longer understood as an act of worship but merely as a mechanism of efficiency and capital accumulation. Departing from this problem, this study aims to examine and reconstruct the concept of production through an Islamization approach, in order to restore the spiritual and moral dimensions of economic activity. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a library research approach and philosophical hermeneutic analysis of the works of Western economic thinkers as well as classical and contemporary Islamic scholars. The findings indicate that Western economics places production within a materialistic and anthropocentric framework, whereas Islam views it as part of divine trust (amanah) and worship oriented toward justice, blessing (barakah), and sustainability. The Islamization of the concept of production offers an alternative paradigm that integrates spiritual, ethical, and social aspects into the economic system. Theoretically, this study contributes to enriching the epistemology of Islamic economics by positioning production as the central focus of economic Islamization, while practically, it provides direction for implementing an ethical, humane, and sustainable production system in accordance with maqasid al-shariah values.
