Real National Income

Eonomic growth itself is a process where there is a real increase in gross national product or real national income in a country. Economic growth is essentially aimed at improving the welfare of the people (walfare), therefore it requires increased economic growth and more equitable income distribution. However, if the growth is followed by an improvement in income distribution, it will be difficult to create prosperity for the community in general, because the income distribution is uneven or does not run smoothly, so that it will automatically disrupt the Indonesian economy, and will be in poverty.

This article will discuss Zakat and taxes from an advantageous perspective. Zakat and taxes are two obligations that must be carried out by Muslims in Indonesia. This tax is charged to every citizen who should pay taxes, which are at first glance looks very contradicted to Islamic teachings. In Islamic teachings, groups of people are obliged to spend a small portion of their assets as Zakat, namely those who have been categorized as capable persons already having had Nishab to give Zakat. By conducting literature studies and a descriptive analysis approach, it is found that Zakat contains the hope of obtaining blessings, cleansing the soul, cultivating it with various virtues, and fostering cleanliness and benefits on the assets owned. Tax and Zakat possess the same purpose namely a source of funds to create a just and prosperous society by sustaining equitability between material and spiritual needs. Taxes are used to finance activities in the fields and sectors of development. The distribution of Zakat to Mustahik, especially the poor and needy people, is expected to support their economic life to help national economic growth.

The economic growth is one of the hot topics in macroeconomics. Through economic growth analysis a nation knows its development, wealth and prosperity.  The growth is measured from income per head by indicating Gross National Product or Gross Domestic Product. This research aims to explore the economics growth paradigm from Islamic perspective since there is a main different point of view between Economics in Islam and capitalism associated with the way of living. Capitalism underlines on how to complete the needs with unlimited effort, while in Islam the economic must be based on tauhid, rububiyyah, khalifah dan tazkiyah principles. Thus, in Islam perspective, prosperity is not all about material goods but also considering the happiness in life after the death.

The purpose of this article is evaluating the effect of renewable energy on economy growth. Therefore, the production function has been examined in OPEC members in 2012-2016 using the dynamic board data based on energy consumption. The results reveal that among variables, the existence of capital, economical active forces, and unrenewable energy consumption have had a positive and decent meaning on the real gross national product in OPEC members. In addition, the coefficient of renewable energy consumption logarithm has not had sense statistically. On the other hand, a one-percent raise in the consumption of renewable energies in OPEC members has increased the gross national product up to 0.05 percent meaningfully. Energy has been considered as one the crucial keys in production process as long as work force and capital. Thus, the rise in energy consumption can lead to growth in production and economic level. So, by increasing renewable energy consumption in OPEC members, dramatic economic growth has occurred.
