Harta dan Pengelolaannya dalam Al-Qur’an: Tinjauan Surah Al-Kahfi ayat 46

Abstract

One of the favors of Allah SWT to humans is wealth. Treasure can be used to fulfill the needs of life, worship, and help others. However, wealth can also be a source of fitnah and damage if not managed properly. This study aims to analyze treasure and how it is described in the Qur'an, especially in the meaning of baqiyat shalihat or good deeds. This research is a library research/study of literature using a descriptive qualitative approach with the Tafsir Science Method. The results of the study provide an explanation that in surah al-kahf verse 46 it is found that wealth has three positions, namely the adornment of the world, the support of life, and as a mandate from Allah SWT. Because wealth is impermanent and ephemeral, Allah Swt. reminds mankind that eternal good deeds are better than worldly treasures. Eternal good deeds include all good deeds done by humans, including utilizing wealth. In the perspective of Islamic economics, al-baaqiyat as-sholihat is defined as the process of managing wealth that has the value of virtue or good deeds, which includes 5 stages, namely wealth creation, wealth consumption, wealth purification, wealth distribution, and wealth protection in accordance with sharia or Islamic economic principles.
