| dc.description.abstract | It is certainly undeniable that in Islam the source of ethics in the line of
life is the Prophet Muhammad, including ethics of economic activity. Islam
which was the beginning of its glory in the time of the Prophet Muhammad also
had the concept of an economic system that should be used as a lesson and
reference materials. Therefore, this paper will explain the economic activities of
the pre-Islamic Arabs as a comparison with the economic activities that have
been straightened out by the Messenger of Allah, which includes an initial
strategy to build the economy of Medina, fiscal policy, so as to achieve social
equity. The result of research shows that the economic activity of the pre-Islamic
Arabs had become the World Trade Center, both in the southern part of the
Arabian Peninsula which was managed by the Saba kingdom and the Himyar
government with the dominant agricultural sector having fertile land. It is also
supported by the presence of the Maarib giant dam. In the northern part of the
Arab, Hijaz (Makkah) which was influenced by outsiders such as Persia and
Rome, with the most prominent trade sector, because the territory was barren
and arid, but the geographical location was strategic as a place for the caravans
to stop. The economic characteristics of the Prophet's time were social-religious
which emphasized cooperative work participation applied to Muhajirin and
Ansar which led to increased income distribution and welfare. This is where the
concept of economic democracy of the Prophet is seen which does not have to be
interpreted as the enactment of the principle of equal treatment, because
according to the Prophet the Have Not needs to get a partial treatment. In
principle, the Messenger of Allah highly prioritizes the achievement of mutual
welfare. | en_US |
