One of the religionâs functions is to flourish the moral sense of its believer by explaining right and wrong thing, those must be done and avoided. One of the undeniable fact that quotes the economic thought among human being had been existed since the early ages of the human history inspired by curious spirit in solving the emerging problem particularly in their social affairs. Nevertheless, this thought could only be found spreadly in the documents and records through the discussion in moral, politics and religionsJ.

LIFE BACKGROUND AND HIS THOUGHT Syeikh Muhammad Mutawalli al-Syaârawi was born on 17thRabiâ al-thani 1329 H / 1911 in the small village named Daqadus, nearby to MayyitGhamr town in Daqhiliyyat province. Raised in the religious family leaded by his pious father who worked as a farmer, but the character shown by him had influenced significantly in shaping Syarifuddin and Kholis, âTowards Rahmatan Lil Alamin Economy Analysis of Ukhuwah Islamiyah and Ashabiah for Economic Development in Medina,â IQTISHODUNA Jurnal Ekonomi Islam 10, no. 1 2021 59â76. Ahmad al-Mursi Husein Jauhar, Asy-Syaikh Muhammad Al-Mutawalli Asy-SyaârâwĂŽ Imâm Al-Ashr Kairo, Mesir Nahdlah, 1990. the noble deeds on al-Syaârawiâs personality. He had received early Al-Quran education from Syeikh Abdul Majid Pasha who responsible in assisting him completed to memorize the holy book at his age of 11. Then, he had completed his primary and secondary school in Al-Azhar school, Zaqaziq before further his study to the faculty of Arabic language at Al-Azhar University in Cairo in 1937. Life in the middle of politic turmoil that experienced by Egypt from early 20th century under the reign of monarchy royalty that ended with the revolution on 1952 succeeded by Jamal Abdul Nasir, and the environment of study in Al-Azhar that evolved gradually, from traditional learning method to the new modern education system with standardized certification, had contributed in building his thought that lead to the designation of his tafsir.

Ahmad al-Mursi Husein Jauhar, Asy-Syaikh Muhammad Al-Mutawalli Asy-SyaârâwĂŽ Imâm Al-Ashr. Said Abu al-Ainain, Asy-Syaârawi Alladzi Lâ Naârifuh Kairo Akhbar al-Youm, 1995.

IQTISHODUNA Jurnal Ekonomi Islam Volume 10 Issue2, October 2021 4 Manhaj al-tafsir or methodological premise in quranic interpretation is a way utilized bymufassir in producing the understanding regarding to particular verse and chapter. According to Hikmatiar Pasya, al-Syaârawi used two main methods in his tafsir, tafsir bi al-raây opinion interpretation and munasabahbain al-ayat reconstruction of the verses. Tafsir bi al-raây utilized by al-Shaârawi is a normal methods used by manymufassirin in order to clarify the meaning behind the words or al-Quran verses by referring to uniqueness of Arabic language. Then, he described using his own words in easier way to understand and elaborated suited to the level of public understanding. Second method is by linking the interpretation or explanation of one verses to another verses and hadith that related in meaning or topic discussed for the purpose of brighter understanding. For instance, when he interpreting the first verse of al-Fatihah, he referred to another verse in al-Alaq, which means âRecite in the name of your Lord who createdâ, and also verse in Yunos Say, "If Allah had willed, I would not have recited it to you, nor would He have made it known to you, for I had remained among you a lifetime before it. Then will Al-Quran, Al-Alaq, 961. you not reason?". At the end, he conluded that every muslim is no also urged to recite Bismillah only before embarking al-Quran recitation, but they are recommended to say the words in every single action we do as to express our gratitude to the gift of Allah and His uncountable bounties. In brief, the methodology used by al-Syaârawi are not significantly different from another prominent mufassirinin enlightening the Al-Quranâs meaning reflected to the new issues in economics, politics and scientific discovery. The effort shown had made his book one of the thickest tafsir book written in 20th century. THE ECONOMIC THOUGHT IN SPENDING AL-RIZQ Regarding the topic of infaq fi sabil Allah, initially, al-Sya'rawi liberalized the mean of al-rizq whereas not only restricted on wealth or money in particular, but rizq or the bounties of Allah are anything that could benefit us in any form of contribution, the strength, knowledge, wisdom, etc 1. Everything that contributes to the movement and mobilization of life harakat al-hayat is considered as rizqwhere it could be the reason and factor of wealth and mal generation Muhammad Mutawalli al-Syaârawi, Tafsir Al-Syaârawi Cairo Mathobiâ Akhbar al-Yaum, 1997. Mohd Shahid bin Mohd Noh The Economic Thought Of Syeikh Al Mutawalli Al-Sya'rawi From His Book Of 'Tafsir Al-Sya'rawi' A Study On Surah Al-Baqarah 5 He describes that when Allah created this world as a test place for us, Allah had created before that the support system of this life, all the creation which should serve human being as vicegerent of Allah and also the values existed in human being in nature that will guide them to utilize the bounties given in appropriate and objectively to fulfil their needs. From this statement it clearly stated that the scarcity claimed by western economist is totally wrong. But, vice versa, it was created in abundant and Allah may judge us on how we manage and channel the bounties as a guardianship, where it provides the clear platform for human being to be tested. In another perspective, al-Syaârawi also denounced gambling practice which he named as the easy rizqâ where the profit comes from movements of others. So, it was prohibited due to the nature of the income that spoils the philosophy of income and gain that should be accompanied with effort and struggle. THE ECONOMIC THOUGHT IN ZAKAT Al-Syaârawi. pp. 188-189. Muhammad Hifdil Islam, âIbnu Taimiyah and His Concept of Economy,â Iqtishoduna Jurnal Ekonomi Islam 5, no. 1 2016 15â33. Al-Syaârawi. pp. 222 Therefore, Islam encourages money or wealth mobilization by imposing zakat to any potentially growth wealth where it simultaneously urges the wealth owner to invest and grow their wealth through economic activities. By keeping the money idle, without paying zakat might be cursed by Allah in the hereafter, where in this world it may jeopardize the value of the money itself. Al-Sya'rawi commented in elaborating zakat's roles in muslim society in current economic condition that dominated by non-Muslim control, he said The command of zakat is not merely to sacrifice small portions of our surplus income and wealth which are to be distributed among the recipients, but the message is to fulfil the gaps of deficit's unit in muslim society to the level that meet their neccesities and compulsory expenses in their life until make them free from begging to non-muslim or in particular, Jewish who provides loan in riba or usury. It in bigger scope shows the spirit of ta'awun and takamul cooperation and complemention must be inculcated in muslim society besides aims to achieve the grant given by our prophet PBUH was reported to say There is no decrement in the wealth that used in donationâ2. Al-Sya'rawi shows his awareness in building the economic strength in muslim society IQTISHODUNA Jurnal Ekonomi Islam Volume 10 Issue2, October 2021 6 or the richness of the ummah in helping needy peoples not only for the sake of Allah, but in short term advantage, for the noble dignity of Islam as the vicegerent of Allah without relying on the loan that dominated in his era- almost 40 years ago- by conventional banking system organized and controlled by the Jewish merchant in riba-based transactions. THE ECONOMIC THOUGHT IN SPENDING IN ALLAH'S WAYS INFAQ FI SABIL LI ALLAH Al-Syaârawi commented on the philosophy of giving some money or sadaqah to the recipients by clarifying the reason and wisdom behind that from the verse 254 Surah Al-Baqarah The meaning O you who have believed, spend from that which We have provided for you before there comes a Day in which there is no exchange and no friendship and no intercession. And the disbelievers - they are the wrongdoers. The idea of wealth sharing actually had been addressed by many scholars and economist including Adam Smith, the tendency to voluntary action is born out of manâs awareness of mutual interdependence. Self-interest itself leads one to help other people in time of need. Non-selfish behavior Al-Quran Al-Baqarah. 2 254. is an integral part of human creation. Allah never ask to spend on Allah,but spend out the wealth that have been given by Allah to you, because the wealth comes from human activities that need energy and material to perform the activities. All of these actions resulted from the plan inspired by human intellectual that created by whom creates the creation. Then, when all the human bodies are moving for the sake of producing wealth from activities using material created for it, everything definitely had been created by Allah. On top of that, he describes the varieties of the works and skills owned by different peoples is necessity that might create a needs one to another, or individual to the group and execute the duties of godâs vicegerent is to build and construct this world imarah al-ardh. Therefore, the skills and abilities to produce work are not to be seemed as a rivalry but it is actually considered as a complimentary and pillar to the balance in the human life. The reason behind that is to avoid any individualistic life that may ruin the social relationship between human, but the weakness possessed by every human had al-Sya'rawi. 1418 H. Tafsir al-Sya'rawi. 2 253. Al-Syaârawi. . p. 1145. Mohd Shahid bin Mohd Noh The Economic Thought Of Syeikh Al Mutawalli Al-Sya'rawi From His Book Of 'Tafsir Al-Sya'rawi' A Study On Surah Al-Baqarah 7 forced them to rely on another skills and knowledges and let the relationship being connected beyond the boundaries that allows the exchanges of knowledges in producing goodness. He also explains that Allah explains this issue to human being by using two main mechanism, first, social dimension and second, economic dimension, whereby it may assist us to understand that the basic foundations of this existence are depended on that two main dimensions. It could be seen from our mind set that created by Allah where people always keep on thinking and planning in sparing their life in this world by two activities, creating food for economic reason, and marriage as for social reason. In relation with the statement above, every human being must strive for their life not limited and restricted on what they need, provided they must struggle and give the best they can in producing life maintenance, because the existence of unable people, week and old people as the needy group is inevitable in any society. By struggling the best of our effort, it may produce more wealth that could be used in helping the needy group. So, the dimension of society and economy are related each other Ibid. that lead to the balance of human life in society. In elaborating further verses relates to the sadaqah or donation, al-Syaârawi describes that Allah always connects the word amwalâ means wealth to pronoun of humâ, that brings the meaning their wealth because it was produced by their energy and actions. Sometimes, Allah reminds us that the wealth in your possession is belonged to Allah, for instance in verse 33 Chapter Al-Nur î§îŚîŚîŚîî§îŚîďîî§îŚî§Łîî§Śî§ŁîîŚîŚî§ The meaning Yea, Give them something yourselves out of the means which Allah has given to you. When we understand that in reality, the wealth actually is belonged to Allah and with His blessing, it was entrusted to us, so, if Allah asks us to spend some to the needy and other religious obligations, we must willingly ready to give up some of ours as asked by Allah. However, Allah asks the wealth to be given with the bounty of loan contractâ where every time we spend Allah may reward with more in the future. In brief, more we give, more we will get. For the verse Al-Baqarah 261, he elucidated that the secret lies behind the command to share and IQTISHODUNA Jurnal Ekonomi Islam Volume 10 Issue2, October 2021 8 spend wealth to others is to remind that every human have their limitation of energy, whereby the younger and energetic person who works today may transform to the weak and disabled guy in the future. Hence, by inculcating the culture of infaq fi sabilillah, everybody will fell ease where their needs might always be fulfilled by the assistance of others, and everybody might force themselves to spend some of their wealth with the awareness that the cycle of life might put people in the top for someday and at the bottom for another day, besides than hoping reward from Allah. This idea encourages the positive thinking and perceptions among people in society that comprised of wealthy, needy, rich and poor without any envy and hatred since everybody believes that the wealth the produced and possessed must be distributed to needy people where every one of them is not secured from that. Among the efforts done by welfare state such as Denmark in increasing its level of national happiness is by inequalities reduction in income distribution that allows lower income group also can enjoy the benefits provided by government. For the verse 267 the same chapter when Allah urges muslim to give out the best of their wealth for donation, al-Syaârawi comments that the wealth given should came Al-Syaârawi. . p. 1147. from the good sources and conditions. In order to make the message clearer, he describes how dare the man who granted and gifted with the best skill and knowledge from Allah, then given with the high value of wealth from his effort, then he purposely chooses the worst thing to appreciate what Allah had bestowed to him?. From that, he summarizes the messages lie on these consecutive verses as follows 1. Donation may not decrease the wealth instead in might be increased. 2. Donation given must not be nullified by harsh word 3. Best and gentle word better that donation accompanied with harsh word. 4. Donation must not be given for the sake of human but for Allahâs love. The messages above are told by Allah as a cure to the disease that always disturbs muslim in performing donation and other generous activities such as greedy and worrying to an insufficient wealth in future. The main problems that overwhelmed the economic crisis especially sub-prime crisis 2008 that witnessed a major chaos in world economic history that affected more than a million people in America and Europe was believed came from moral hazard Al-Syaârawi. . p. 1162. Mohd Shahid bin Mohd Noh The Economic Thought Of Syeikh Al Mutawalli Al-Sya'rawi From His Book Of 'Tafsir Al-Sya'rawi' A Study On Surah Al-Baqarah 9 that associated with greediness of some financial institutions comprised of banking and insurance companies in maximizing their profit even though breaches the ethical in business deals. Fayyad Hasanain support this idea of sharing the bounty of Allah among members in society by describing the special attributes introduced by shariâahin economic practices is takaful or cooperation. The good performance of the society economy is indicated by the ability to fulfill the necessities of its member, particularly the poor group until there is no family or men abandoned without proper shelter, enough food, good healthcare and education system regardless of their achievement in import, export and other industries. The idea of takaful was also implemented in islamic insurance industry that known as as takaful. Recently, after focusing on CSR corporate social responsibility by corporate industries, the scholars and market players started to conduct varieties of philanthropy projects such as waqf model suggested by Azlizah Azrah, Rose Ruziana and Zurina Shafii and DompehDhuafa by Amelia Fauzia in effort to fill the gap between two major groups in society and Fayyad Abdul Munâim, âSimat Al-Nizhom Al-Iqtisod Al-Islamiy,â Iefpedia, last modified 2018, simultaneously eliminates hatred and enmity between them. Takaful or cooperation one to another also visualizes the spirit of muslim brotherhood as said by Allah in verse 10 , chapter al-Hujuraat, that means The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers. And fear Allah that you may receive mercy. Besides, there is also another verse that supports the idea of takaful, Allah saysThe believing men and believing women are allies of one another. They enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and establish prayer and give zakahand obey Allah and His Messenger. Ibnu Khaldun also had explained in his book, al-Muqaddimah, about the benefits of mutual cooperation in community that might accelerate economic development and human progress by emphasizing the understanding of the needs contributed by a group always greater that an effort given by an individualâ. Sharing the wealth deemed in Islam as benevolent action where lies behind it the economic agenda to avoid the monopoly of the wealth for certain group in society and keep the gap between poor and rich in moderate level conversed to the capitalism that encourages the creation of unlimited individual wealth with no focus in bridging the IQTISHODUNA Jurnal Ekonomi Islam Volume 10 Issue2, October 2021 10 gap, in order to realize the balance in economic distribution. THE ECONOMIC THOUGHT IN RIBA The prohibition of riba is agreed in consensus among the jurists in all madzhab. The reason of its prohibition could be summarized as below Those who consume interest cannot stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity. That is because they say, "Trade is [just] like interest." But Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interest. So whoever has received an admonition from his Lord and desists may have what is past, and his affair rests with Allah . But whoever returns to [dealing in interest or usury] - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein. Al-Syaârawi connects the analogy described by the verse for riba consumer as man who could not stand properly resulted from the satanâs bitten, same to this creation as we are witnessing now, the complete creation of universe with the creatures on it complement one to another, rely one to another by differentiating their skills, knowledges, exposures, variety of weathers, productions that would encourage the cooperation, complementation and reliance among human are always being revived and connected under the Godâs system. However, riba practice today definitely destructs the balance of the system created by Allah, the destruction makes the world in imbalance situation between the outside and inside realities where the most developed economic countries are also among the highest number of anxiety and depressed people living there. Based on the statistics issued by National Institute of Mental Health NIMN, percent of adults in United States had experienced any anxiety disorder last yearEconomy crisis which hit America and some European countries affected a lot on peopleâs lifestyle and mental health. Crisis that resulted from the sub-prime mortgage loan that associated with riba practice had brought negative impacts on economic such as inclination of unemployment rate, poverty and social deprivation that might stimulate mental health problems. Accordingly, he clarifies that the instability, imbalances, chaos Al-Syaârawi. . p. 1188. âNo Title,â Wealth Health Organization, Impact of Economic Crisis on Mental Health Conpenhagen Who Office for Europe, 3AD. Mohd Shahid bin Mohd Noh The Economic Thought Of Syeikh Al Mutawalli Al-Sya'rawi From His Book Of 'Tafsir Al-Sya'rawi' A Study On Surah Al-Baqarah 11 and crisis occurred today -specifically in economic conditions- stimulated by instinct of human being that went deviant from the straight path where the wealth is seemed as a mean to realize lifeâs needs not as an ultimate objective. However, riba made people accumulating wealth fundamentally for the figure and number whereas at initial it only used as a way to buy necessities and others, but after a mean was perceived as an objective, the system made by Allah might ruin and eroded. From the idea above, al-Syaârawi surely observed the economic crisis happened at his time and what had Egyptian experienced after the war between Israel in 1973 or known as 10th Ramadhan or 6th October war. Hazem al-Beblawi studies the performance of Egyptâs economy from 1974-2005, finds that Egypt showed poor economic achievement compared to the other East countries that moved better and faster. He also elucidates the constraints and impediments contributed to the problems notwithstanding the effort done in order to boost up the state economic condition. Then, he refers to the words that witnessed the problems of Al-Syaârawi. . p. 1189. Hazem al-Beblawi, Economic Growth in Egypt Impediments and Constraints Washington The World Bank Publisher, 2008. ribasystem from western philosopher such as Hjalmar Schacht and John Maynard Keynes, where they observed the negative impacts on socioeconomic that allows rich group getting richer while poor family suffered with continuous poverty and difficulty. From the perspective of moral values in society, al-Syaârawi uses the methodology of Al-Quran in simplifying the understanding with the analogy al-tamthil, in this case he describes how the members of any society that approve and apply ribain their daily life could live in harmony and affection to others while rich group who usually owns the riba banking system charges additional payment as an exchange to the loan given to the poor who needs money assistance. He urges readers to think and imagine how the rich asks something that he does not need, at the same time, the borrower asked to pay what he does not own. Otherwise, poor and needy people may always give their hatred sight to rich men who exploit them as economic deficit unit in society. Undoubtedly, the morality in economic thought and practices had been promoted before the era of prophet Muhammad even, for instance, Aristotle who known as the great Greek philosopher also described the importance of moral Al-Syaârawi. . p. 1190. Al-Syaârawi. . p. 1182. IQTISHODUNA Jurnal Ekonomi Islam Volume 10 Issue2, October 2021 12 and behavior in conducting economic practices especially in the subjects of money values and usury when he denounced harshly riba practices in price determination and loan. In this case, al-Syaârawi correlates the importance of ethical economic practices to be applied in society by balancing the needs of the unit in the economy, whereas the needy group should be comforted by exempting them from any charges due to their difficulties and weaknesses. In long run, peace and stability of society is relied on how far the steadiness and relationship between the main group in it, rich, middle class and poor. THE ECONOMIC THOUGHT IN SPREADING GOODNESS THROUGH WEALTH SHARING There are number of verses when Allah SWT urges muslimto share their excess wealth with others, in particular their relatives and close family members. One of the verses is verse 177, the meaning of Allahâs words is Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives zakah; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous. Through this verse, al-Syaârawi viewed his opinion towards the importance of building the relationship through wealth sharing where the bounties whether it was given to the rich or poor came from Allah. Neglecting others in poverty overwhelmed by severe difficulties is a manifestation of inhumanity and lack of consideration. This humanity idea seemed as a reflection on what had been performed by the idea of capitalist and socialist during their golden reign by socialist Russian and capitalist of the western. The introduction of welfare economy in the middle of 19th century with the objectives to spread the wealth sharing between the surplus unit and deficit unit in the society, as shown by Thomas Hill Green who believes that human being is an agent to realize true freedom that was inspired by eternal consciousness by empowering the moral capability Backhouse and Nisizawa, However, Yew Kwang Ng claims that the welfare economics only emphasizes on individual preferences instead of his welfare or happiness that make the theory deemed incomplete. THE ECONOMIC THOUGHT IN DEBT Mohd Shahid bin Mohd Noh The Economic Thought Of Syeikh Al Mutawalli Al-Sya'rawi From His Book Of 'Tafsir Al-Sya'rawi' A Study On Surah Al-Baqarah 13 The verse 282 in al-Baqarah chapter is the longest verse in this holy book. It describes in general about the rules, laws and ethics when someone dealing with debt from the aspects of recording, witnessing, some impediments and others. According to al-Shaârawi, the objective of the debt documentation as commanded in the verse, is to protect the right of borrower where the document will always remind his outstanding debt to pay in the future which may motivate him in working harder for the sake of debt payment other than fulfilling his family daily needs. By ignoring or forgetting his debt obligation might bring negative perceptions to the group of borrowers in society where it potentially leads to the denial of borrowing practice for the benefit of deficit unit in economy. Therefore, the trust between lender and borrower could be kept in good and support the nature of poor and rich living together in harmony and preserve the ecosystem of human life in one community. His view in this case is aligned with his idea pertinent to zakat in supporting the variety of humanâs destiny in the form of wealthy or not. Both stimulate the spirit of taâawun cooperation among muslim and living hand to hand under the brotherhood of iman. The consistency of the thought was inspired by the depth Al-Syaârawi. . p. 1217. understanding on the principles of imanand mukjizat. Islam neither ask to break the gap between deficit and surplus unit in economy ecosystem by denying the individual ownership and make it equally in mandatory as promoted and enforced by socialism nor permits boundless wealth possession as done by capitalist, but Islam put the ownership of the wealth as in between socialist and capitalist. Therefore, in the debt practice, Islam does not command creditors to give up all the debt or give it benevolently, or chargeriba on the debt, but promoting the ethical and transparent debt relationship as mentioned in the verse. THE DISCUSSION 1. According to the view of Al-Ghazali that emphasized on the preservation of five basic goals namely, religion, life, progeny, wealth and intellect by reflecting on their hierarchy as in sequences doruriyat compulsories, hajiyat neccesseties and tahsiniyat embellishment. He also recognized the first level of necessities are food, clothing and shelter as an indicator to fulfil the basic requirements of complete life M.

IQTISHODUNA Jurnal Ekonomi Islam Volume 10 Issue2, October 2021 14 for anyone in society M. Ghazanfar and A. Azim Islahi, 2003. From the discussion above, it is observed that al-Syaârawi always mention about takaful or cooperation from whom Allah bestowed him with excess wealth, to assist the unlucky group by fulfilling their basic needs derived from the verse 267 Surah al-Baqarah as an evidence of the significance roles contributed by the practice of infĂŁqfĂŽSabĂŽlillah for a member in a community life. 2. The economy of humanity is among the obvious idea of al-Syaârawi and it could be seemed in his focus on wealth sharing, negatives impacts of ribaand the needs of work to mobilize the human energy and skill. 3. The role of akhlĂŁqor good behaviour in managing the economy is the most significance action to be inculcated and raised in national and international society where the majority of the financial crisis were caused by the human error particularly greediness and irresponsible acts in economic decision making. 4. The idea of harakat al-hayĂŁt could be easily founded in his tafsir that brings the meanings of life ecosystem. When Allah creates human being in varieties of life status, namely, poor and rich, strong and weak, the wisdom behind it is to balance the ecosystem of human life by creating the needs of human to the work in effort to generate income. Works performed by human normally be done in collective manner, where the hierarchy of work leaded by directors followed by managers and workers is applied. This is the normal scene in every field of work that actually reflected to the needs of human being. Consequently, Al-Quran always urges people to share and spend their wealth by giving or creating income generation work in order to balance the ecosystem of life as called by al-Syaârawiharakat al-hayĂŁt. The bounties and wealth that given to us shall be shared and distributed fairly among human in other to grant the balance in fulfilling human needs and necessities. Therefore, zakat is one of the tools that realizes the objectives, while the debt law in shariâah also to ensure the wealth sharing process must be executed fairly, by providing the borrower with money and returning back the debt to the lender. This interaction in the society may stimulate the Mohd Shahid bin Mohd Noh The Economic Thought Of Syeikh Al Mutawalli Al-Sya'rawi From His Book Of 'Tafsir Al-Sya'rawi' A Study On Surah Al-Baqarah 15 healthy economic circulation that reflects beyond the physical profit of any unit in the ecosystem, furthermore it may keep the sustainability of economic growth and development of the human civilization. Diagram of Syeikh al-Syaârawiâs Thought in Economy Diagram 1 Authorâs own CONCLUSION The roles of Al-Quran as the last testament is obviously monitored by relating the meanings or interpretations of the Book with the current issues happening today. As the continuous effort shown by previous scholars in writing tafsir across the centuries, al-Syaârawi beautified the method of tafsir writing by connecting the verses and their meanings with the current problems with the possible suggestions that could be practiced by muslim. The scholastic idea of al-Syaârawi definitely had revived muslimâs views towards Al-Quran that not restricted only for the worships related matters, but inclusive the bigger scope of discussion to the health economic system and the practices that embedded in it. Undoubtedly, the scholarship of al-Syaârawi was recognized globally in Islamic thought in general albeit the opinions expressed were not as detail as needed by economist with statistical and numerical based, it is sufficient for the practitioners, regulators as well as any individual to hold his idea as guidance according to the Al-Quranâs teaching and preferences.

Andi MaryamSumarâin SumarâinSambas Regency is a district that has the most extensive Muslim population distribution in West Kalimantan. This research took the research setting in Teluk Keramat District, one of the sub-districts in Sambas Regency, considering the distribution of the Muslim population. The percentage level of Muslims and non-Muslims is also the largest in Teluk Keramat District, reaching of the population is Muslim. Teluk Keramat is a sub-district that is considered the "golden triangle" in the economic sector. This research uses an associative explanatory method or correlational study with a quantitative approach. The population in this study were all Muslim communities in the Teluk Keramat District, amounting to 72,470 people. This study found that the halal literacy variable will only have a significant positive effect on the use of halal products if it is through the halal awareness variable. In other words, halal literacy will have a significant positive impact in increasing the use of halal products if halal awareness is well established. But if Halal Literacy cannot increase halal awareness, then halal literacy will not significantly impact the use of halal Syarifudin Nur KholisIslam provides fundamental sources for human development, including ukhuwah Islamiyah, ashabiah and rahmatan lil alamin. These concepts are strategic in developing the economy of the state. The current article aims to analyze the economic development in Medina carried out by the Prophet Muhammad. The authors employed a qualitative method through narrative reviews of the extant literature. The study shows that before the hijrah of the Prophet, Medina was already a multicultural and heterogeneous society with many prolonged conflicts.. The Prophet devised a strategic approach to build the Medina economy and society. Ukhuwah Islamiyah was used to unify differing, often conflicting cultures, beliefs, and ethnicities to form a strong brotherhood. Ashabiah was applied to tighten the glue among society members, creating high social solidarity. Upon the perfection of Medina, the apostolate of rahmatan lil alamin leads to a universal, inclusive, and sustainable economic MunadiBudi IswantoAl-Tufi is one of the maslahah figures. al-Al-Tufi defines maslahah based on two things, in urf and shar'i, while in urf is a factor that leads to goodness and benefits. Like trading that brings profit. While according to shar'i maslahah is a causal factor that leads to the intention of lawmakers in matters of worship, as well as customs. The rationalization effort based on the spirit of shar'i arguments in its dialectical form delivered Al-Tufi's thoughts towards the re-actualization of Islamic law in the field of muamalah which was more applicable and found a significant momentum. Considering the need for renewal of Islamic law based on public benefit is more pronounced in this modern era especially in business, with this Al-Tufi method, Sharia business law will be dynamic and progressive again. Is not the Islamic Sharia down to earth with the aim of achieving human PasyaMuslims are being challenged to be more productive in the face of a fastly developing era. Al-Qur'an which is believed by Muslims to be the standard reference for truth, has been judged by some in current times as irrelevant, old-fashioned, or even out-of-date. Al-Qur'an as Allah's words which has been transformed into human language, brings out universal meanings. The dynamics of a human's life will always affect their perspective in understanding. That is why, the understanding of al-Qur'an will always relate or have some correlation to the development of a humanâs life. As stated by Umar ibn Khathab, " I go out from al-Qur'an in order to return to it." It means we must apply a contextual approach and not just textual to substantially understand al-Qur'an. In the middle of this pluralistic society, where nationalism was indoctrinated, asy-Sya'rawi was born. His consistency in explaining al-Qur'an with the Qur'an itself, expresses a realization in his perspective that the most accurate method in explaining the Qur'an is by using the Qur'an itself al-Qurâan yufassiru baâduhu baâdhan. By using adab ijtimaâi and iâjazi methods in interpretating al-Qur'an, it is hoped to be a solution for these issues, so al-Qur'an and Islam will always be as shalih likulli zamân wal al-makân. M. Azhar HussainDenmarkâs top position in various rankings of country happiness is well-documented. This study goes beyond the national average comparisons and investigates whether Denmarkâs top position is also found when we disaggregate data in line with social categories often used within the social sciences. The central measure is the empirical probability that a given population subgroup in Denmark has significantly higher happiness compared to another countryâs similar subgroup in a given year. All five rounds of the European Social Survey are used but only the sixteen countries that were surveyed in each of the five rounds are included in this study. The results show that Denmarkâs position at the top of the happiness scale is also robust when we look at population subgroups, but not in the sense that Denmark dominates all countries for all years. Instead, a modified version of robustness is necessary; Denmark very often has significantly higher happiness levels than in other countries, only sometimes has the same happiness levels as in other countries, very rarely is it dominated by other countries, and finally it is never dominated by other countries in all 5 years for a given subpopulation characteristic. This conclusion is quite insensitive to the applied SWB measure and the applied significance level. Yew-Kwang NgWelfare economics is incomplete as it analyzes preference without going on to analyze welfare or happiness which is the ultimate objective. Preference and welfare may differ due to imperfect knowledge, imperfect rationality, and/or a concern for the welfare of others non-affective altruism. Imperfection in knowledge and rationality has a biological basis and the resulting accumulation instinct amplifies with advertising-fostered consumerism to result in a systematic materialistic bias, as supported by recent evidence on happiness and quality of life. Such a bias, in combination with relative-income effects, environmental disruption effects, and over-estimation of the excess burden of taxation, results in the over-spending on private consumption and under-provision of public goods, and may make economic growth welfare-reducing. A cost-benefit analysis aiming even just at preference maximization should offset the excess burden of financing for public projects by the indirect effect through the relative-income effect and by the environmental disruption effect. A cost-benefit analysis aiming at welfare maximization should, in addition, adjust the marginal consumption benefits of public projects upward by a proportion determined by the proportionate excess of marginal utility over marginal welfare of consumption. The environmental disruption effects have also to be similarly adjusted upward. However, the productive contributions of public projects should not be so Philanthropy in Indonesia Modernization, Islamization and Social JusticeAhmad al-Mursi Husein Jauhar, Asy-Syaikh Muhammad al-Mutawalli asy-Sya'râwĂŽ Imâm al-'Ashr, Kairo, Mesir Nahdlah, 1990, Amelia Fauzia, 2017, Islamic Philanthropy in Indonesia Modernization, Islamization and Social Justice.

Seketika Syekh Mutawalli Asy-Sya'rawi melempar pandangan ke atas seraya mengatakan: "Abaikan niat baktimu terhadap guru!" Artinya, jangan sampai melakukan tugas ini semata-mata karena gurumu, tapi harus totalitas lillahi ta'ala. Ternyata, Syekh Mutawalli Asy-Sya'rawi mendengar apa yang terbesit di hati Syekh Umar, muridnya itu. ďťżNama lengkap beliau ialah Muhammad Mutawalli al-Sya`râwĂŽ. Beliau merupakan seorang tokoh ternama yang lahir di tanah Mesir yang menjadi daerah tempat tinggalnya kebanyakkan para Mujaddid Islam seperti al-Thanthawi dan Jamâl al-DĂŽn al-Afghâni. Beliau dilahirkan pada 15 April 1911[1] bersamaan 17 Rabiul Akhir 1329 di Daqadus, sebuah perkampungan kecil di kawasan Mayyit al-Ghumar di wilayah al-Daqhiliyyah.[2] Jalur nasab keluarganya bersambung sampai kepada Imam Ali Zainal Abidin, iaitu putera Saidina Hussien. Hal ini dikuatkan lagi menerusi sebuah buku yang bertajuk Ana Min Sulalah Ahl al-Bayt yang menyatakan bahawa beliau merupakan keturunan dari cucu Nabi SAW. Walaupun bapanya seorang petani biasa namun sangat dihormati masyarakat kerana iltizam dan istiqomahnya pada agama serta kecintaannya terhadap ilmu.[3] Perhatian sebentar⌠â Sejak 2012, kami bersungguh menyediakan bacaan digital secara percuma di laman ini dan akan terus mengadakannya selaras dengan misi kami memandaikan anak bangsa.

Syeikh Mutawalli Syarawi dikurniakan dengan kecerdikan yang luar biasa sejak kecil. Hal ini amat jelas apabila beliau sudah mampu menghafal al-Quran apabila mencapai umur 11 tahun. Syeikh Syaârawi mendapat pendidikan formal di Madrasah Ibtidâiâyyah lembaga pendidikan dasar al-Azhar, Zaqaziq pada tahun 1926 M ketika berusia 15 tahun. Kecerdasannya bukan sahaja di dalam menghafal al-Quran malahan dalam menghafal sya`ir puisi dan pepatah-pepatah Arab.[4] Memasuki Madrasah Tsanawiyah lembaga pendidikan menengah, bertambahlah minatnya dalam bahasa dan kesusasteraan dan beliau telah mendapatkan tempat istimewa dalam kalangan rakan-rakannya, serta terpilih sebagai ketua persatuan mahasiswa dan menjadi Pengerusi Pertubuhan Adab dan Kesusasteraan di Zaqaziq.[5] Memetik kata-kata Dr al-Jamili yang pernah mengulas tentang keperibadian al-Sharawi semasa kecil, beliau menyatakan âAl-Syarawi adalah merupakan seorang kanak-kanak yang memiliki peribadi tersendiri, sewaktu kecil lagi beliau suka berfikir terhadap apa yang berlaku di sekeliling beliau. Sentiasa kelihatan tenang dan tidak gopoh dalam setiap tingkah lakunya.â[6] Suatu ketika, Mutawalli Syarawi pernah mel4w4n ayahnya yang keras mahu beliau melanjutkan pelajaran ke Universiti al-Azhar tetapi beliau sendiri lebih mahu tinggal di kampung bersama-sama saudaranya. Syeikh Syaârawi melakukan helah dengan meletakkan syarat kepada ayahnya untuk membelikan kitab-kitab klasik berjilid-jilid agar ayahnya membatalkan hasrat untuk menghantarnya ke Azhar. Namun begitu, ayahnya menyedari helahnya lalu mengeluarkan sejumlah wang yang banyak untuk membeli kesemua kitab yang dipesannya walaupun terpaksa menjual kerbaunya sendiri.[7] Sejak dari itu, beliau tekun menuntut ilmu sehingga mengkhatamkan seluruh kitab yang dibeli oleh ayahnya. Kemudiannya beliau melanjutkan pengajian di peringkat Ijazah Sarjana Muda di Universiti Al-Azhar dalam bidang bahasa Arab sehingga tamat pada tahun 1941 dengan marhalah mumtaz cemerlang, sebelum dianugerahkan Ijazah Doktor Falsafah pada tahun 1943 sekali gus melayakkan beliau untuk menjadi tenaga pengajar pada ketika itu. Kebanyakkan gurunya ialah tokoh-tokoh ulama dan masyaikh Azhar diantaranya ialah Sheikh Nur al-Husin, Sheikh Abd al-Hamid Abd al-Ghaffar Nasif, Sheikh Jad Soleh, Sheikh Muhammad Hassan al-Tudi, Sheikh Sulayman Nawwar, Sheikh Abd al-Halim Qadm, Sheikh Muhammad Abd al-Latif Darraz dan Sheikh Ali Muhammad Mahmud Jawesh. [8] Ketokohan beliau di dalam pengajian Islam khususnya dalam bidang tafsir mendapat perhatian dunia sehingga beliau diberi julukan âdai sejuta umatâ serta mempunyai ramai anak murid yang berkaliber seperti Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi, Sheikh Hassan al-Shanawi dan Syeikh Abd. Al-Waris Al-Dasuqi. Manakala menurut Abd al-Muiz Abd al-Jazar, anak murid al-Sharawi sangat ramai, kerana sesiapa sahaja yang pernah mengikuti kelas pengajian beliau sama ada di masjid, menerusi rancangan TV dan radio adalah merupakan anak murid beliau. Ini kerana beliau mengajar di banyak masjid dan di kaca Tv seperti rancangan ânur ala nurâ. Maka, ramailah yang mendapat istifadah dan manfaat daripadanya. Syeikh Syaârawi mendapat anugerah pertamanya iaitu Pingat Penghargaan Terbilang semasa majlis persaraan beliau pada 15 April 1976 sebelum beliau dipilih untuk menjawat jawatan Menteri Waqaf Mesir dan Pentadbiran al-Azhar. Tidak lupa juga beliau pernah mendapat Anugerah Khas kerajaan Mesir pada tahun 1988, dan pada tahun yang sama mendapat anugerah pengiktirafan sebagai tokoh agama terulung sempena sambutan hari Pendakwah Mesir menjadikan beliau seorang tokoh Islam yang âfavouriteâ dalam kalangan masyarakat pelbagai lapisan. Pada tahun 1997 pula beliau mendapat anugerah tokoh pendakwah Dubai kerana khidmatnya yang luar biasa terhadap al-Quran malahan beliau turut mendapat Anugerah Malik Faisal daripada kerajaan Arab Saudi. Ironinya pada tahun 1998, beliau menyandang anugerah Dubai dan Pingat Amir Zaid Ali Nahyan daripada Putera Ali Nahyan sendiri dalam bentuk mata wang. Namun mata wang yang diperolehi beliau telah disedekahkan kepada al-Azhar dan para pelajar di Buhâuth Islamiah Asrama pelajar al-Azhar. âMomentâ paling bersejarah adalah apabila beliau mendapat Anugerah Tokoh Islam daripada Presiden Mesir ketika itu iaitu Hosni Mubarak dalam bidang pengembangan ilmu dalam majlis peringatan kelahiran al-Azhar yang ke 1000 tahun.[9] Syeikh Syarawi men1ngg4l dunia pada pada hari Rabu 17 Jun 1998 Masihi bersamaan 22 Safar 1419 Hijrah[10] dan Mesir seolah-olah sudah mandvl untuk melahirkan seorang lagi Syaârawi. Keberanian dan ketegasan beliau dalam mempertahankan yang haq sudah pasti hanya menjadi sebahagian daripada kenangan umat Islam terutamanya rakyat Mesir ketika beliau dengan tegas memberi peringatan kepada Hosni Mubarak. Beliau berkata di hadapan seluruh rakyat Mesir ââŚ.wahai Tuan Presiden, aku ingin menyatakan satu perkara kepada engkau kerana mungkin ini merupakan pertemuan terakhir aku dan engkau. Jika nasib kami bergantung kepada engkau, semoga Allah memberi taufiq menunjukkan kamu jalan yang benar. Tetapi jika nasib engkau bergantung kepada kami, semoga Allah memberi kekuatan untuk mu bagi menanggung beban untuk menghadapi kami.â[11] Keberanian seorang Ulama seperti beliau yang berjuang untuk mentarbawikan umat Islam pasti dirindui bahkan seluruh kehidupannya diperuntukkan untuk menasihati dan membimbing umat Islam bahkan sampai di akhir hayatnya. Ketika beliau terlantar di hospital beliau sempat berpesan ââŚapabila kalian melihat di dunia pertarvngan, berlaku dua pertembungan antara kebenaran dan kebatilan, ketahuilah sesungguhnya pertembungan itu tidak akan kekal selamanya, kerana kebenaran hanya satu dan bahawasanya kebenaran itu pasti akan mengatasi kebatilanâŚ[12] RUJUKAN Zulkifli Mohammad al-Bakri.
