Each of these schools of economics has a different paradigm and various basic assumptions about human Humans are positioned as economic beings who can use all limited resources to Iskandar Iskandar.

Meanwhile, the socialist system views humans as social beings who must be associated with all social relations1. The existence of these two modern systems does not imply a dichotomy or An economic system does not stand alone but is related to the communityAos philosophy, views, and lifestyle on which it Bisnis Islam https://doi. org/10. 32505/jebis. The economic system established in Indonesia and various countries is often a matter of conflict and debate in society. These different economic systems grow slowly in different countries, depending on the historical environment and political developments. This discourse on Islamic economics emerged because recently, some weaknesses of the conventional economic system under the auspices of capitalism began to be discovered. Capitalism is considered to have failed in realizing the original ideals of an economic system, namely shared prosperity2. Between capitalism and socialism, have a common point of view. They are both born from Western culture. According to Syed Naquib al Attas, as quoted by Muheramtohadi. Western culture has a sharp difference with Islam, namely the difference in word view. Islam generally puts its view of life only on Allah . , while the West puts its view of life on empirical things3. Economic activity is something that cannot be separated from human life, especially for a country. Along with the times, the need for humans increases, therefore the economy continuously experiences growth and Therefore, at this time, according to Gailbraith, economics has been used not only as a science but also to support certain ideologies or beliefs. Gailbraith reveals an economic model that is not appropriately accepted because it can explain reality but Ika Prastyaningsih. Mohammad Ghozali, and Andi Triyawan.

Terminologically, political economy is the goal to be achieved by the legal methods used to enact a mechanism for regulating peopleAos lives. In Islamic economics, many experts develop the discipline of Islamic economics politics, such as Masudul Alam Choudhury as quoted by Kholis6.

Therefore, in the context of service and regulation of peopleAos affairs, the state is obliged to fulfill the peopleAos interests at large. The state even guarantees the fulfillment of the primary or vital needs living in an Islamic state, such as electricity, health, education, security, and others. The state will measure the level of welfare based on the fulfillment of each individualAos primary and complementary needs7.

Conventional political economy paradigm Paradigm is defined as a pattern or model or perspective on a problem in which there are certain assumptions, certain theories, and certain problem-solving. In the context of science, the paradigm is the main factor to say it is an important pillar in building new knowledge from old forms of knowledge. this point, there actually is a kind of scientific transformation or scientific revolution driven by a strong and argumentative paradigm. Plato defines a paradigm as a universal idea. While Miller and Brewer in The A-Z of Social Research argue, a paradigm is a theoretical structure of a framework of thought that becomes a model to be followed. Thomas Khun describes a paradigm as a set of scientific and metaphysical beliefs that form a theoretical framework, where this scientific theoretical framework can be tested, evaluated, if necessary, revised. In addition. Khun also considers the paradigm as universal and is considered a scientific achievement that provides a model for the community of Choudhury, as quoted by Iskandar, said that the paradigm aspect must have the character of acceptance and attraction for all systems of thought. The paradigm gives or provides a set of models that are AuacceptableAy to the scientific community so that it offers a Auuniversal paradigm10. Ay The existing conventional development paradigm elaborates a capitalist economic policy that places market freedom at its root11. What is meant by the conventional economic paradigm is a paradigm that refers to the paradigm of capitalism and socialism. Capitalism is an economic system that emphasizes the role of capital or capital, which includes goods used in the production of other Capitalism was born in the era of mercantilism and colonialism, pioneered by three great world figures, namely Martin Luther. Benjamin Franklin, and Adam Smith. In this system, individuals play more roles than the government because the government only has the right to give freedom to investors to develop their businesses. While socialism is an economic system or economic activity that provides considerable freedom to everyone, there is still government intervention. The government, in a socialist view, is tasked with regulating the economic life of the country as well as other types of the economy related to the interests of many peopleAos lives, such as water, electricity, telecommunications, gas. The following are the characteristics of the capitalist economic system and the socialist economic system: Table 1. Difference between Capitalism and Socialism Economic System No. Capitalism Economic System Socialism Economic System Broad recognition of personal rights More concerned with togetherness The market mechanism governs the The governmentAos role is powerful Humans are seen as homo-economicus The pattern of production determines creatures or who constantly pursue their human nature Understanding individualism is based on materialism, the legacy of Ancient Greece called hedonism.

According to Prakasa, as quoted by ThoAoin, the harsh and even disharmonious historical contradictions of capitalism and socialism have stimulated thinkers to seek an characteristics, which is a combination of the best elements of both. The middle way economic system may eliminate the connotation of the combination of the two economic systems above because the middle way economic system can be significant in its The system drives dynamic elements previously owned by each economic system as Hegel said that the improvement and development of thought would reach the best form through a dialectical process towards a synthesis . ialectical theor. This process is a guide from tesa with antithesis in harmony and leads to dynamism. Developing countries think that they will be able to catch up by not following the extreme form of the economic system but absorbing the dynamic elements of Islamic economic politics paradigm The Islamic economic paradigm in this paper consists of combining the term paradigm with the phrase Islamic economics. The paradigm is mentioned in the QurAoan as Muhammad ThoAoin.

Ghafir/40: 64, al-Hasyr/59:24, at-Taghabun/64:3 and alInfithar/82:3. The word shawwara has three primary meanings. First, give feedback on the appearance of something described. Second, explain the accurate picture of something. Third, it results in the emergence of something in mind. Thus, etymologically means a response, description, mental attitude, or way of looking at things. Islamic thought, there are various terms used for paradigms, including the term tashawwur al-Islamiy (Islamic worldvie. , al-mabdaAo alIslamiy (Islamic principle. , nazhariyyah alIslam (Islamic visio. , altashawwur altawhidiy . onotheistic view of lif. , and ruAoyat al-Islam li al-Manifest (Islamic view of Sometimes also called nazrah alIslam li al-kawn (Islamic view of the univers.

AuEkonomi Islam Salah Satu Model Alternatif Strategi Merekatkokohkan NKRI,Ay The re-emergence of the Islamic economic system, both in the world and Indonesia, as witnessed in the last three or four decades, has led to various views and attitudes. Some were against it, some were skeptical, some were accommodating, but some accepted it with open arms17. The Islamic economic system has a paradigmatic difference from the conventional economic system. The Islamic economic system is based on a religious The Islamic economic system has a paradigmatic difference from the secular worldview and vision in the conventional economic system. As and vision, which is derived from the QurAoan and Hadith, which diametrically have many examples, the Islamic economic system addresses human needs in a balanced way and without discrimination, both material and non-material. Thus, the Islamic economic system will focus on AuoptimizingAy falah . orldly-hereafter welfar. and fulfilling AuneedsAy. This is diametrically different from the conventional economic system, which does not discuss non-material needs because it is not measurable and involves a value judgment, so the conventional economic system tends to focus on AumaximizingAy material wealth . rofit maximizatio. and fulfilling AuwantsAy18. The essence of Islamic economic politics is a legal policy designed by the government related to economic development that can guarantee to meet the needs of the community and is based on Sharia values as a reference This rule is a law that regulates the relationship between the state and society, individuals with individuals, and individuals with society in economic activities.

The legal policymaking above involves two things, namely first, adapting the existing legal Second, fill the legal vacuum by making rules. Academically, the discussion of the political economy results from the development of Islamic law, which is in the field of state wealth management policies. Islamic economic politics, it is commonly called siyasah maliyah. In other words, namely tadakhkhul ad-daulah . tate interventio. State intervention, referred to by ash-shadr, is a state that intervenes in economic activities to ensure the adaptation of Islamic law relating to the communityAos economic activities19. The paradigm of the Islamic economic system can be divided into two, namely: First, the general paradigm, namely the aqidah Islamiyah which is the basis of thought . lqaAoidah fikriya. for all Islamic thought, such as the Islamic economic system, the Islamic political system, the Islamic education system, and the Islamic economic system, etc. Aqidah Islamiyah here is understood not only as aqidah ruhiyah . piritual cree. , namely creed, which is the basis for pure spiritual activities such as worship, but also as aqidah siyasiyah . olitical cree. , namely aqidah which is the basis for managing all aspects of human life without exception.

Indonesian sharia banking discourse Talking about Islamic economics, attention is usually focused on Islamic banks, or in Indonesia, called Islamic banks, this is not entirely wrong, but also not entirely true. Islamic economics is not only about Islamic However. Islamic banks are currently the gateway to developing Islamic economics. Among the many banks operating in Indonesia, only one is considered to survive and remain strong in the face of the 1997 economic crisis that hit the Indonesian people, namely Bank Muamalat. Reflecting on the success of Bank Muamalat, the economists then slowly changed the orientation of their thinking towards the Islamic economic paradigm, which was considered more convincing and Responding to this encouraging development, universities, especially Islamic universities, are trying to make a breakthrough by establishing a department of Islamic Economics. This phenomenon confirms that the agenda is a mere discourse and a natural action that the community can feel.

Finding the relationship between economics and religion in this modern era is indeed very This is because the culture of modern society has been secularized Aemarginalizing and even trying to break away from religious mythologiesAe so that linking religion and economic life feels a bit odd. However. Adam Smith, as quoted by Sajadi in his book The Wealth of Nation, has talked a lot about religion, the church, religious sects, morals, and ethics24. The discourse of economic development began to be widely discussed after the Second World War . , which the United States commanded during the reign of Harry S. Truman around the 1950s25. The significance of the approach brought by liberal economic development has penetrated various parties, they believe that this approach can create changes both socially, politically, and Two philosophies that are familiar in economics, namely capitalist or better known as post-classical philosophy, and Marxist or so-called radical philosophy, which adhere to Western social science principles, have influenced many views of human life .

For example, the Banking Law Number 7 of 1992 was revised to become Law Number 10 of 1998, the most substantial legal basis for implementing Islamic Financial Institutions (LKS) in Indonesia. LKS in the form of banks (Bank Muamalat Indonesia (BMI) and Sharia PeopleAos Financing Bank (BPRS)) and non-banks (Takaful Insurance.

Third, there is still a lack of socialization about sharia economics to the lower classes, especially in rural areas. Therefore, a breakthrough is needed to encourage the process of empowering the Islamic economic system more optimally. TodayAos society relatively needs a service system that is fast, precise, easy, and practical. Conventional financial institutions generally still carry out these fast, precise, easy, and Moreover, conventional financial institutions have long played a role in economic development in Indonesia.

On a practical level, it also looks very encouraging when Islamic banks or financial institutions are born, grow and increase day by day, week after week, and month after month. Interest and involvement in Islamic banking and financial institutions are not only shown by micro private institutions such as cooperatives at the village level but also involves the highest monetary authority in this country, namely the Central Bank or Bank Indonesia. In the latter institution, there has been a Directorate of Sharia Banking for the past few years. addition, the Ministry of Finance (MoF) also decided to establish a sub-directorate of sharia insurance and a directorate of sharia financing. This is done in line with the rapid growth of the Islamic insurance and Islamic financing industry in Indonesia, so that the government needs special attention. The government has also promulgated Laws on Sharia Banking. State Sharia Securities (SBSN), and others and issued Government Regulations that support the development of Sharia Financial Institutions31.
