The Thoughts of Sheikh Al Maududi and Ayatollah Baqir Shadr on Interest

The past victories of Islam were weakened by stagnating scientific progress, slowing Muslim economic growth, and weakening military power in Islamic countries, and were easily defeated by the West. During this period, scholars were stigmatized as closed doors to Izhad and experienced a so-called sluggishness in which there was little development and innovation in both religion and science. Open the door to Ijtihad such as Johor ulema Dato' Syed Salim Abdullah al-Attas (1873-1899), Dato' Abdullah Musa (1899-1907), Syed 'Abd Qadir Muhsin al-Attas (1909 -1933) ) and Syed Alwi Tahir al-Haddad (1933-1941). Currently, Muslims are undergoing various attacks from scientific and economic aspects, especially in relation to interest, and until now, there are still some Muslims who do not consider interest, especially bank interest, to be haram. It's a pity. That's why scholars tried to empower Muslims, such as Sunni Abul Ala al-Moudi and Shia Sheikh Bakr Sadr. This study uses a literature review method with reference to selected journals and books and aims to explore whether there are differences between Sunnis and Shiites regarding this interest.

The Privatization of State-Owned Enterprises in Islamic Perspective: Case of Indonesia

In Indonesia, the last few years have seen the privatization of many industries previously owned by the state. The surge was requirement of International Monetary Fund (IMF) to lend its fund in order to support Indonesian economy after monetary crises between 1997 and 1999. However, this phenomenon causes some novel polemics amidst stakeholders. Most of nation‟s wealth is brought by multinational companies to overseas without rendering great benefit to citizen. Therefore, inhabitant cannot savour many adventages from their abundant natural resources. In line with this privatization case, Islam as a way of life which is universal and comprehensive has a particular discussion on assets ownership that should be utilised according to its status. There are three concepts of ownership in Islam, namely individual, public and government ownership. The main objective of this paper is to point out the best scheme of natural resources ownership, whether should be owned by public, private or state based on siyāsah sharī„ah approach. The author utilizes descriptive qualitative methodology to find the appropriate pattern of natural resources management in Indonesia, particularly firms which manage the basic need of human being.

Revisiting An Islamic Approach to Humanities: A Critical Review

urpose: The study aims to develop a relevant counter-argument and supporting justification on ideas offered by Zaman (2014) in his paper titled "An Islamic Approach to Humanities."

Design/Method/Approach: This study adopts a quantitative approach in form of a literature survey, discourse and critical content analysis. For achieving the goal, we capitalize on Ghazi (2006) to support the argument that the source of knowledge is not only through observations. Kalin (2016) and Zarkasyi (2018) are being used to show that Islam encourages reasoning and observations. To support the argument that Islamic economics can be positivistic, we use Abdullahi (2018) as a related paper to deal with that issue. 

Findings: The study found that Islamic Economics can use the tools of logical positivists in its observation as long as such tools do not contradict the logical structure of the Islamic worldview. Social science like Islamic economics is only an avenue to see the expression of free will that Allah gives to the human being by observing the pattern of human behavior. When the results can describe closer to reality, it can survive and support the development of social science itself. 

Originality/Values: The main contribution of this study is to clarify the position of Islamic economics on the logical positivism method and its implication in value integration.

This study intends to conduct a comparative test of efficiency of the 3 merged state-owned banks using 5 merged Simulation models which will be measured by the 2-stage Data Envelopment Analysis (2-stage DEA) method with Islamic banks and also conventional in Indonesia. This study uses a quantitative approach using the 2-Stages Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. By using in the first stage this method can measure the efficiency score generated from the input and also the output that has been determined, among others, by inputs namely Savings, Administrative Costs, Personal Costs. The outputs used are Financing and Income. In the second stage the method used is Tobit Regression which will see whether there is an influence between the dependent variables determined on the efficiency score. The dependent variable consists of 2 types, namely macrobanks consisting of GDP, Inflation, and Interest Rate. While the other is the Microbank variable including NPF, FDR, and ROA. In this study, 5 combination simulations will also be examined, which will see which combination is the most efficient. From the results of the study, it was found that the efficiency of Islamic banking as a whole is still below the efficiency of conventional banking. Meanwhile, by using 5 simulations of the merger planned by the government, namely combining BRI Syariah, BNI Syariah, and Mandiri Syariah, it was found that the merger of the 3 banks is the most optimal option in terms of efficiency. In this study also found that the dependent variable that affects the efficiency score is the ROA variable. Meanwhile, for other variables, namely NPF, FDR, GDP, Inflation, and also Interest rate does not significantly affect the efficiency score.

The Economic Policy Of Umar Bin Khattab To Face Ramadhan Crisis

The Economic Crisis is a situation of instability that can affect individuals and even large groups that tend to harm. The threat of crisis did not only occur in the current era but in the Khulafaur Rashidun Era, namely during the time of Umar Bin Khattab, namely the Ramadan Crisis, which was a crisis that occurred in the Hijaz area and its surroundings between 17-18H. At that time Ramadan greatly impacted the economy of Muslims because the population was starving, the land was black, livestock died and prices soared. Even trading activities could not carry out their normal activities. Ramadah occurred because the rains did not fall which caused drought, the occurrence of the bubonic plague which disrupted trading activities and because of rampant adultery and judges who acted tyrannically. Umar bin Khattab radhiallahu anh made many changes to his policies at that time.

The research method used in this study is qualitative research, using a historical approach in which the author collects written sources in this research. From the results of this writing, it can be interpreted that economic policy during the caliphate of Umar bin Khattab could not be separated from Umar's intelligence and expertise as a caliph with his ijtihad and deliberations he conducted with friends. It is hoped that this writing can provide references and guidelines for the implementation of governance in managing countries
