Trafficking Manusia Perspektif Al-Qur'an

Abstract

Indonesia is a large and densely populated country, so the opportunities for human trafficking to occur are even greater. This crime has been going on since the time of ignorance. Women are considered weak and useless, so men enslave and satisfy their lust for women. However, with the entry of Islam, the degree of women began to rise, and there was no difference between men and women. The Qur'an also mentions a lot about the prohibition of this crime, although it is not explained clearly. Therefore, the author is interested in exploring how the Qur'an views the crime of trafficking in persons, both women and children, what is an Islamic perspective and what solutions are offered to minimize this crime. This research includes library research through texts or verses of the Qur'an related to the subject of human trafficking. The result of this research is that the term human trafficking is mentioned in several letters, namely in Surah An-Nur verse 33, and Yusuf in verses 19-20. Textually and contextually, talk about human trafficking is seen from various angles of the context, namely through recruitment, sale and exploitation, which in fact today tends to be sexual exploitation or prostitution. Islam highly upholds the humanity of every person, therefore Islam makes various efforts to abolish slavery, namely freeing slaves, giving punishment for various violations of law by freeing slaves, ordering employers to offer self-emancipation (muktabah) and fulfillment of promises/votives by freeing or free slaves
