TRANSFORMASI EKONOMI GLOBAL MELALUI PRINSIP KEADILAN EKONOMI ISLAM DALAM MENGATASI KEMISKINAN

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of justice principles in Islamic economics
as a transformative effort to address global poverty and social inequality. Islamic economics
emerges as an alternative paradigm that emphasizes justice, balance, and sustainability
contrasting with capitalist and socialist systems that often lead to inequality and structural as
well as moral crises. This research employs a library research method with a descriptive
and analytical approach through the review of academic literature, scholarly journals, and
research reports on the application of Islamic economic principles in various countries. The
findings indicate that key instruments such as zakat, waqf, and the prohibition of riba play a
strategic role in achieving equitable wealth distribution, reducing poverty, and strengthening
social solidarity. Moreover, the Islamic financial system based on profit-and-loss sharing and
ethical business practices encourages economic stability that is more resilient and
sustainable in the face of global crises. Major challenges in its implementation include the
dominance of global capitalism, low levels of Islamic economic literacy, and limited
regulatory and technological support. Nevertheless, through the integration of Islamic ethical
values, technological innovation, and international collaboration, Islamic economics has the
potential to serve as a foundation for a more inclusive, stable, and human-centered global
economic system.
