PERAN KEBIJAKAN PUBLIK DALAM MENCAPAI KESEIMBANGAN EKONOMI ISLAM DI MASYARAKAT

Abstract

This article discusses the role of public policy in achieving Islamic economic balance in society. The purpose of this study is to analyze how public policy can support the principles of Islamic economics, such as justice, equitable distribution of wealth, and avoidance of usury. The methodology used is a qualitative approach with case study analysis in several regions that implement Islamic-based economic policies. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with stakeholders, as well as analysis of relevant policy documents. The results of the study indicate that public policies oriented towards Islamic economics can improve people's welfare through programs such as zakat, waqf, and sharia financing. In addition, policies that support the development of micro and small businesses have also proven effective in creating jobs and reducing economic disparities. The discussion underlines the importance of collaboration between the government, Islamic financial institutions, and the community to implement effective policies. This study also found that challenges such as lack of understanding of Islamic economics and unsupportive regulations still need to be overcome to achieve the desired balance.
