Azhari Syahfutra Harahap; Uswatun Hasanah — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Income distribution inequality remains one of the major challenges in economic development, contributing to poverty, social disparities, and economic instability. Although economic growth continues to increase, achieving equitable welfare distribution remains a significant concern, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. In this context, Islamic economics offers a distributional framework based on the principles of justice, balance, and social responsibility through various distributive economic instruments. This study aims to analyze the contribution of Islamic economics to the equitable distribution of national income and to examine the role of Islamic economic instruments in reducing economic inequality within society. This research employs a library research method with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected from various sources, including books, scientific journals, previous studies, official documents, and regulations related to Islamic economics. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that Islamic economics significantly contributes to equitable income distribution through instruments such as zakat, infaq, sadaqah, productive waqf, and profit-sharing mechanisms. These instruments function as wealth redistribution mechanisms capable of reducing economic disparities, improving social welfare, expanding access to economic resources, and promoting inclusive and sustainable economic development. Furthermore, the profit-sharing system in Islamic economics provides a fairer alternative to the interest-based system by emphasizing proportional risk and profit sharing. This study concludes that optimizing Islamic economic instruments can serve as an effective strategy for achieving a more equitable national income distribution and supporting comprehensive social welfare.

The Contribution of Islamic Economics to the Equal Distribution of National Income in Padangsidimpuan

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Inequality in income distribution remains a structural problem in national economic development, including in mid-level urban areas such as Padangsidimpuan City. Islamic economics exists not only as a normative economic system but also as a practical approach that emphasizes distributive justice, social solidarity, and support for vulnerable groups. This study aims to analyze the contribution of Islamic economics in promoting equitable distribution of national income at the local level through a case study in Padangsidimpuan City. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation studies of Islamic economic institutions such as BAZNAS, private zakat institutions, sharia cooperatives, and sharia-based micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The results show that Islamic economic instruments, particularly zakat, infaq, sadaqah, and sharia financing, contribute significantly to increasing the income of the poor, expanding access to business capital, and reducing economic inequality. However, this contribution remains partial due to institutional limitations, low sharia economic literacy, and weak integration with regional development policies. This study recommends strengthening synergies between local governments and Islamic economic institutions as a sustainable strategy for income equality.

This study aims to analyze how faith values, through community-based social organizations, contribute to flood risk reduction and strengthen community resilience, particularly in meeting basic food and clothing needs. This study stems from the phenomenon of increased community social vulnerability due to flooding, which not only causes physical damage but also disrupts household economic sustainability and access to basic needs. The study used a Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approach, enabling communities to become key actors in identifying vulnerabilities, local resources, and adaptation strategies based on their lived experiences. The research findings indicate that food and clothing insecurity are at the core of the social vulnerability of flood-affected communities. In this context, faith values serve as a normative foundation that encourages practices of solidarity, care, and material assistance through social institutions such as the Jemari Sekato NGO. This organization serves as a facilitator between community needs and support from the government and universities through cross-sectoral collaborative mechanisms. This study concludes that faith values function not only as spiritual support but also as institutionalized social capital that strengthens community-based resilience. Therefore, disaster risk reduction requires participatory integration of material, social, and religious aspects to build a more adaptive and sustainable resilience system
