Market Engineering in Supply: Ikhtikar of Perspectives Islamic Economics

The market mechanism is guaranteed freedom in Islam. The market is free to determine the means of production and prices, and there should be no interference that results in the destruction of the market balance. But in reality it is difficult to find a market that runs by itself fairly. One of them is the practice of hoarding or what is often referred to as monopolistic practices carried out by producers or sellers so that the availability of basic necessities is getting thinner and scarcer so that they can play prices in the market. Seeing this, this article aims to see whether hoarding practices are a form of market engineering in supply (ikhtikar) and to explain the views of Islamic Economics regarding hoarding practices (monopoly). This article is a library research and uses a qualitative method with a normative approach. The data source used is secondary data derived from books, journals and articles related to the practice of ikhtikar, hoarding, and monopoly as well as how Islamic economics views. The results of this study found that price fluctuations also occur due to fraudulent actions in the market such as hoarding by speculators. The act of hoarding in question is market engineering in supply (ikhtikar). The practice of ikhtikar is strictly prohibited in Islamic Economics because it can disrupt the market mechanism. For this reason, the role of the government as a policy maker is needed to regulate in order to create a fair price.

Between Freedom of Religion and Apostasy in Islam: Analysis of Surah Al-Baqarah Verse 256

This article aims to explain the concept of religious freedom in Islam. This concept is revealed in the Qur'an surah al-Baqarah verse 256, which states that religion has no compulsion. This verse is an affirmation that Islam upholds the values of tolerance and humanity, as well as an answer to the accusation that Islam is spread by the sword (violence). However, in practice, some people interpret this verse differently, that Islam allows its adherents to apostate. With the argument that apostasy is part of religious freedom. Based on that reason, this article analyzes sura al-Baqarah verse 256 based on the interpretations of classical and contemporary commentators, as well as analyzes the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad concerning apostasy and religious freedom. This article is qualitative in nature used library research for data collection from books, journals, and other documents related to the topic of discussion. The collected data were then analyzed using the critical-analysis method. The study found that religious freedom in Islam is related to the relationship between the servant and God. Muslims are not free to do something because they are bound by their obligations as servants. That is, Islam does not allow its adherents to apostatize because it violates God's teachings and also Islam does not force other people to embrace this religion.

Hak Asasi Manusia; Studi Komparatif antara Orientasi Kebebasan Manusia Perspektif Buddhisme dan Islam

Human Rights is a discourse that has several orientations on issues around humanity. One of the elements in the formulation and ratification of human rights in this law is to guarantee that every individual has freedom of will and action in their lives. However, the desired orientation of freedom in this formulation experiences several problems, including confusion in understanding the meaning of freedom itself, many of the world's scientists provide a variety of different perspectives on the meaning of the discourse. In addition, the aridity of religious elements is also felt in the formulation of human rights, so it is necessary to understand aspects of human freedom from several perspectives, such as Islam and Buddhism, two religions that have a concept of humanity and a philosophy of several elements related to this concept. Islam and Buddhism have two concepts related to the freedom orientation above, Insan Kaamil in Islam and Bodhisattva in Buddhism. These two things will be observed with a theological approach and comparative method so that basic conclusions will be obtained on the concept of man and freedom in the two religions and an analysis of the relationship between the concepts of freedom in Islam and Buddhism.

The Relationship Between the Right to Security and the Right to Freedom in Islam and the Study of Formal Rules for Relinquishing these Rights in Iran

This article raises fundamental conceptual questions about the relationship between the right to security and freedom, from the point of view of Islam. Also, in criminal law in Iran, the relationship between freedom and security is examined in all formal laws adopted after the Iranian Revolution. This study was conducted with a descriptive-analytical method using sources and documentary texts with the aim of explaining the relationship between the right to security and freedom in Islam and, at the same time, analyzing the formal rules of renunciation of these rights in formal laws and regulations. It is concluded that in Islam three types of minima, intermediate and maximum relations between security and freedom are conceivable. These three proportions, in addition to fulfilling the existence of security and freedom; introduce different types of relations between the two rights referred to according to the conditions that can be implemented. Likewise, when examining the formal norms, it can be recognized that the Code of Criminal Procedure, approved on 23.02.2014, has eliminated all the defects and ambiguities of the previous law in the field of the right of persons to liberty and personal security.

THE ROLE OF THE MARKET IN IMPROVING THE COMMUNITY ECONOMY ACCORDING TO THE ISLAMIC ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE (CASE STUDY OF THE SENGGOL KURIPAN MARKET IN INDONESIA)

A market is a place that has rules set up for the exchange of property rights and the exchange of goods between producers and consumer.

The free market determines the methods of production and prices, there should be no disturbance that results in the destruction of the market balance. Keywords : Mechanism, Market, Islam

Reading Rashid Al-Ghannushi’s Debate on Human Rights

Human rights, a hotly debated issue in the 1970s Muslim world, engaged diverse groups like governments, political activists, civil society members, intellectuals, thinkers and even common people. Though not a novel development, the phenomenon represented renewed interest by individuals and groups regarding many issues, including democracy and secularism. Shaykh Rāshid al-Ghannūshi ̇̄ – the ‘most adroit and flexible’ Tunisian Islamic reformist leader and primary ideologue of Ḥizb al-Nahḍah – is a prominent voice who discussed widely the issue of human rights. In this regard, his famous book al-Ḥurri ̇̄yyāt al-‘Ᾱmah fi ̇̄ al-Dawlah al-Islāmiyyah represents a core strand of his thought.
 In the contemporary era, Ghannūshi ̇̄, through his prolific writing and appealing intellectual discourse, especially on the issues of Islam–West relations, democracy, pluralism and human rights, engages the minds of intellectuals globally. Considering the global importance of this religio-political thinker, the current study, while exploring how the concept of human rights emerged in the West, will examine and explore objectively Ghannūshi ̇̄’s views on human rights. Moreover, this article will focus on understanding his vision about hotly debated issues such as apostasy, freedom in Islam and the West, and the rights of women.

Hak Kebebasan Beragama: Analisis Hadis Perang Perspektif Hermeneutika Gadamer

This article talks about the right to freedom of religion in Islam, especially the right to freedom of religion expressed in the hadith nabawi. The hadith studied in this paper is a hadith of war, a hadith that seems to contain imperative and provocative messages for Muslims to fight against people until they declare the creed. There are many studies that examine religious freedom in Islam, only those studies are more general and do not specifically address specific hadiths. In general, this paper seeks to answer the question of how the hadith nabawi views religious freedom? And how to understand +the hadith of war, a hadith that seems to call for war in spreading Islam? To answer that question, the author will examine the hadith of war with the help of Hans-Georg Gadamer's hermeneutic approach which includes Historically Effected Consciousness, Pre-understanding, Fusion of Horizons, and Application. The use of this hermeneutical approach as an effort to manifest integration and interconnection of general and religious scholarship. Because science is a light that there is no dichotomy in the middle. With the use of this hermeneutical approach the author wishes to avoid as much as possible from the hole of objectivity of understanding.

The Philippines in 2015: the calm before the political storm

AbstractThe year started auspiciously with the successful visit of Pope Francis in Manila. Unfortunately, the afterglow of the event was overshadowed by the tragic death of 44 members of the Special Action Forces (SAF), 18 members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF), and five civilians in a botched operation to capture Indonesian terrorist Marwan in Mamasapano, Mindanao. The major political fallout from the tragedy was the breakdown of the peace negotiations with the MILF. The administration was also beleaguered by accusations of incompetence in connection with the monstrous traffic crisis in Metro Manila, extortion rackets at the airport, and the mismanagement of LRT and MRT railway systems. Nonetheless, it demonstrated decisiveness in pursuing an arbitral case against China at the Permanent Court of Arbitration. Despite overseeing a succession of impressive economic growth, the legacy of the Aquino administration and the victory of its anointed ...

Perlindungan Negara Terhadap Hak Kebebasan Beragama: Perspektif Islam dan Hak Asasi Manusia Universal

The implementation of religious freedom in Islam still has unresolved issues. Based on the perspective of the Madinah Charter, Islam can provide protection of freedom of religion and give the rights of non-Muslims. Nowadays, however, in practice, in some Islamic countries, there is actually a variety of aberrations that obscures the meaning and spirit of the Madinah Charter. In some Muslim countries, the formalization and formulation of syariah are still implemented in the publicsphere. State does not remain neutral toward all religious doctrines and always strives to apply the principles of syariah as a policy or state legislation. This is also reflected in the Cairo Declaration that gives legitimacy to Muslim countries to maintain and run a syariah-based doctrine that emphasizes the protection of religion rather than the protection of the fundamental rights of freedom of religion.Therefore, the need for the doctrine of separation of religion and state is intended to make state more independent and is expected to provide protection of the organs and institutions of the state against the abuse of power in the name of religion. Right to freedom of religion can only be realized within the framework of the constitutional and democratic state based on the spirit of universal human rights.Key words: right to freedom of religion, state protection, universal human rights

Mustafa Akyol, Islam without Extremes: a Muslim Case for Liberty

Freedom is frequently a topic of controversy in discussions of Islam and the West. Mustafa Akyol’s recent book goes further than making the claim that freedom is indigenous to Islam, and it reads closer to an ideological manifesto in offering a spirited defence of liberalism and free market capitalism from an Islamic perspective: “[L]iberty is ... what everyone needs to find God.” But freedom in Islam is morally assured, legally secured and theologically grounded and sanctified - and thus forms a crucial part of the entire worldview of Islam. It can be conceived as a higher purpose (maqsid) of the Shariah, and not merely a principle or a transient reality. An ideological reading of freedom, as we find in Akyol’s book, actually truncates that worldview, as it dislodges freedom from its Islamic theological-moral-spiritual sanctuary in favour of classical liberalism.

An ideological reading of freedom, as we find in Akyol’s book, actually truncates that worldview, as it dislodges freedom from its Islamic theological-moral-spiritual sanctuary in favour of classical liberalism. Akyol’s principal claim is that freedom is coeval with the Qur’an itself and realised by the Prophet during his lifetime. Islam created the individual out of the tribe, extolled man as God’s viceroy on earth and enjoined righteous deeds as part of religious faith. Such proto-liberal tendencies within Islam, Akyol argues, brought about radical transformation to the Arabian society of the time—endowing women with hitherto unknown rights, protecting the weak and the powerless, freeing the individual from the shackles of tribal ethics, and more.Â

Religious Freedom in Islam: A Global Landscape

This paper presents a global landscape of religious freedom in Islam, a crucial matter for resolving the contentious contemporary debate over whether Islam is a peaceful or violent religion. The landscape shows a general dearth of religious freedom in Islam. This does not mean, though, that Islam is incompatible with religious freedom, for a large percentage of Muslim countries are governed by regimes inspired by western secularism. The paper also argues that religious freedom is neither synonymous nor co-extensive with electoral democracy. Several democracies with low levels of religious freedom exist in Muslim-majority countries, while authoritarian regimes with relatively high levels of religious freedom exist but are rare.
