The Concept of Wealth Distribution in Islamic Economics: A Case Study in Indonesia
Keywords:
wealth distribution, social justice, Islamic economicsAbstract
Wealth distribution is a major issue in modern economies, including Indonesia, where most wealth is concentrated among certain groups, leaving the majority of the population in poverty. This study examines the concept of wealth distribution in Islamic economics and its implementation in Indonesia. Using a qualitative method based on literature review, this study finds that the main principles of wealth distribution in Islamic economics are justice and compassion. Justice includes balanced distribution in accordance with widely accepted norms of justice, while compassion emphasises social solidarity through instruments such as zakat, infaq, and sadaqah. In the Indonesian context, the application of Islamic economics has shown progress through government policies, the role of Islamic financial institutions, and community contributions. However, this implementation still faces significant challenges, including a lack of public understanding, infrastructure limitations, and regulatory barriers. The results of this study are expected to serve as a reference for the development of a more inclusive and sustainable Islamic economy in Indonesia.
