The second Caliph, Hazrat Umar (RA) saw an old Jew beggar, who was begging in the market, he called upon him and issued a monthly stipend. Hazrat Umar (RA) knew the responsibility of the state to provide him basic needs, further He state that the beggar had already paid to the state when he was young. Although, it is the duty of the state to ensure the basic needs of the people/citizen of state. Islam, also, encourages the individuals of the society to play their roles for the sustainability of equal system. The Quranic verses stresses on the responsibility of individual and state. The present world meet the misery of the people in nineteenth century while Islam had given born right to every human being, fourteen centuries ago. Islam has a fixed amount (specific amount of gold, silver, cattle and cash) of Zakat which has to be paid by the rich people to the state. In addition, the state will provide Zakat to the deprived people of the society.

Islam is the religion of welfare and well-being of the people as well as reformation and uplift of the society. It not only gives its followers some beliefs and convictions, but it also makes them aware of all those fundamental tenets of life, adopting which, an Islamic state can build a peaceful society. Islam gives due care not only to men but to animals and birds as well. What to speak of services to the helpless, it even regards provisions to hungry and the thirsty animals a great source of salvation in the World Hereafter. Public rights (haquq-ul-Ibaad), personal rights, good morals and generosity are a big part of Islamic commandments. Even the person who does not help others is regarded not a Muslim in the eyes of Islam. Islam makes it obligatory to every Man of Source to be conscious about the rights of other people living around him. An Islamic state consists of both Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Every person, whether he is Muslim or non-Muslim, living in the state, deserves his fundamental rights. Even the state is bound to provide them the basic necessities of life including food, boarding, education, clothing, cure and justice. All this is emphasized in Quran and Hadith. When the Holy Prophet (PBHU) migrated to Madina, he, first of all, laid the foundation of first Islamic state. Having reached there, the first problem he faced was the problem of the housing, food and cure of the migrants (Muhajir), as the migrants had left all their belongings back in Makkah. They had no sources with them in Madina. The Holy Prophet (PBHU) persuaded the locals (Insaar), so that the locals managed for the basic needs of migrants, and thus resolved these issues. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) introduced such a system of assistance that none was helpless in the state.

This article intends to examine the social security system in the perspective of Islamic economy. Using literature review, this article cut social security. For that, it can be concluded that the social security construction in the Islamic economic system has four stages, namely: (1) guarantees the individual against himself (individual guarantees); (2) among individuals with his family (family guarantees); (3) individuals with society (assurance society); and (4) between people within a country (a guarantee). Therefore, the construction of social security system in Islamic economics illustrates that guarantee it in layers. When social security was able to be resolved by the individual, then simply at the level of the individual. But when could not be resolved at the level of the individual, it will be resolved at the level of the family. If not completed in level of the family, it will be resolved at the community level. If social security did not complete in the community, then the obligation of the State to finish it<br /><br />Artikel ini bermaksud untuk mengkaji sistem jaminan sosial dalam perspektif ekonomi Islam. Dengan menggunakan literature review, artikel ini membedah jaminan sosial Islam. Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa konstruksi jaminan sosial dalam ekonomi Islam memiliki empat sistem tahapan, yaitu: (1) jaminan individu terhadap dirinya (jaminan individu); (2) antara individu dengan keluarganya (jaminan keluarga); (3) individu dengan masyarakatnya (jaminan masyarakat); dan (4) antara masyarakat dalam suatu negara (jaminan negara). Oleh karena itu, konstruksi sistem jaminan sosial dalam ekonomi Islam menggambarkan bahwa jaminan itu berlapis-lapis. Apabila jaminan sosial mampu diselesaikan oleh individu, maka cukup di level individu. Apabila tidak bisa diselesaikan di level individu, maka akan diselesaikan di level keluarga. Apabila tidak selesai di level keluarga, maka akan diselesaikan di level masyarakat. Apabila jaminan sosial tidak selesai di masyarakat, maka kewajiban negara menyelesaikannya.

Islamic economic system is built on the foundation of the Islamic faith, the faith in question is the right because it comes from Allah brought to mankind through the prophet Muhammad. The Islamic faith is a faith that satisfies reason, reassures the soul, and is in accordance with human nature. In an individual context, economic activity is based on the values of worship. The economic system known by society globally is the capitalist and socialist economic system. In the economic context, both systems have been able to increase the prosperity of the people in the country that uses both economic systems. The capitalist system is influenced by the zeal to make the most of its profits with limited resources. This capitalist venture is supported by the values of freedom to make ends meet. This freedom resulted in high competition among others in defense, while the socialist economic system had the goal of mutual prosperity. In conclusion, the Islamic economic system is a solution economic system for various problems that have arisen, while the conventional economic system is an economic system that is widely used by various countries in the world, including Indonesia. A conventional economy is an economic system that gives full freedom to everyone to carry out economic activities.

Turn of thought and is spend some time talking about the economic system force of the people s in disorder no matter how directly associated with muamalat ran into financial difficulties the most number of the 4th SILA. Have gone before you that “force of the people s that is presided over by skillful and godly wisdom discretion in representative after being suspended from the children of a deceased”. That means even all the house of representatives had to be involved in determining economic policy must be in accordance with mutual agreement or consensus . It is meant to reach for a ideals of society fair, honest, responsible, and prosperous. So that economic strength of the latest in a it is becoming concerned about more influenced a little bit about what an economic system that in practice the by to the state has solid . Indonesia when now applied economic system strategic i.e. the system economic kerakyatan, where in carrying out economic system controlled by the people. But in carrying out the economic system society-based have to need the considerations that were ripe , such as indonesia in determining sisem economic society-based. If you look at history, at the beginning of a developing country, especially Indonesia previously embraced the theory of growth in its economic system. Indonesia now does not adhere to the theory of growth because this principle actually experiences a failure. Therefore, Indonesia currently holds fast to the principle of populist economy.

It can be accepted that the classification of human rights, its division, types, and groups, is of particular importance. The syllogism for human rights can be taken as follows: law belongs to man; human beings are the highest beings on earth like living beings. Therefore, the regulation prevails. The right to freedom is conditional. Man is free. Consequently, human rights are dependent. Morality is the limit of the law. Morality is the limit and content of human actions. Therefore, the law is the limit of human activities. Morality is related to law. Law is the norm of human behavior. Thereby, human behavior and direction are related to morality. The people create the state. The state has the right. Therefore, the right of the state is the right of the people. The state is an institution made up of citizens. Citizens have the privilege. Such blessings as Dignity, honor, conscience, zeal, honor, etc., and values are a part of morality and spiritual life. Morality is united with law. Therefore, moral values are part of the law. Everyone has the right to freedom of thought and conscience. Space is about the law. Therefore, everyone has the right to opinion and conscience. Key words: human rights, freedom of conscience, conceptuality, citizenship

This chapter discusses political legitimacy within the Confucian context. It attempts reconcile the early Confucians’ embrace of equality with their defense of hierarchy. The chapter also considers how to reconcile their idea that the legitimacy of the state lies in service to the people, with the idea that it is not the people alone who make the final political decisions. It shows that the lack of capacities of making sound political decisions by the masses cannot result from the failure of the state to secure basic goods, education, and other necessary conditions for people to make sound political decisions, and it has to be the result of a basic fact of human life. That is, in spite of all these governmental efforts that are demanded by them, and in spite of their beliefs that human beings are all potentially equal (Mencius and Xun Zi) or close to being equal (Confucius), early Confucians also took it as a fact of life that the majority of the people cannot actually obtain the capacity necessary to make sound political decisions and participate fully in politics.

The main problem of this article is the possibility of using social entrepreneurship related to the provision of communal services to strengthen the sense of social security in people threatened by social exclusion. This problem is important because ensuring social security in a direct and indirect way is the task of the state. This task also ap-plies to people who are socially excluded or at risk of this phenomenon. Its implemen-tation may take place with the participation of social economy entities, supported by the state in a financial manner as well as through appropriate legislation in the scope of shaping the conditions for the development of the social economy. The aim of this study is to get to know the scope of social economy enterprises in the municipal services and their impact on people employed in this type of institutions, including the possibility of increasing the sense of social security of this people and confirming or denying that the majority of people working in this type social economy entities are people who are socially excluded or threatened with this phenomenon.

Purposes: In the social sciences, economics is one of the most influential and prestigious disciplines. Mainstream economics typically view economic agent as amoral, entirely self-interested, unrealistic and has damaging effects. In the last few decades, while remaining a powerful discipline, economics has narrowed in scope. Consequently, to reinvigorate economics, especially in times of crisis or major institutional change, mainstream economics has almost lost a key reserve of alternative thinking. This study intends to investigate the contemporary mainstream economic system, does Islamic Economics taking advantage of the shortfall of the system outlined above based on Tawhidical approach?Design/Methodology/Approach: This paper using the descriptive qualitative method Findings: Modern economics is normative bias; does not explain actual economies but describes a "utopia" in which Pareto optimality applies. The excessive unrealistic assumption is the impact of the inconsistency of modern economic theory. The important aspects of human behavior ignored by this assumption as the theory of economic man. In addition, the general equilibrium theory of neoclassical is not compatible with an economy that develops over time. It relies too much on complex mathematical models without sufficient attention to whether this really illustrates the real economy and ignores the complexity of nature and human creativity. At the contrary, Islam cause to be present the Tawhidic based economics approaches can be focused towards seeing wholes of economics, rather than parts; seeing economics activities as worship, rather than competition; cultivating the solidarity (charity), rather than individualism and creating the justice, rather than injustice. Thus this paper designed to provide the concept of Islamic economic system with Tawhid as the basis, to fit the philosophy of economic science and reality of human life. The paper shows the position of Tawhid in the system and theory of economy.  It becomes a must to do to create prosperity and benefit for all mankind, with the aim to realign and comparing to the mainstream economic system and their theory.Originality/Value: This paper proposes the position of Tawhidic based economics approach in setting the economic system. The position of this foundation offers basic guidelines for the justice and fairly system, which is benefited to all human beings regardless of religions, races, and castes, and furthermore to the sustainable economic development and welfare for the ummah.

Sistem ekonomi merupakan sistem yang digunakan dalam sebuah negara untuk mengatur dan mengelola semua bentuk aktivitas ekonomi, sehingga dengan berlakunya sebuah sistem ekonmi ini, negara dapat memaksimalkan perannya dalam mengelola dan meningkatkan segala sumber daya yang dimiliki. Tulisan ini mencoba untuk membandingkan sebuah sistem ekonomi Islam dengan sistem ekonomi kapitalis yang keduanya memiliki perbedaan yang sangat mencolok ketika diaplikasikan dalam aktivitas bisnis. Hasil kajian menyimpulkan bahwa sistem ekonomi Islam mengemban visi homo Islamicus yang memandang manusia sebagai kholifah di muka bumi yang diberi kemampuan oleh Allah untuk mengelola bumi beserta isinya dengan baik dalam memenuhi kebutuhannya sendiri dan orang di sekitarnya dengan tujuan memberikan keseimbangan antara individu, masyarakat dan negara, sehingga pengaplikasiannya dalam aktivitas bisnis adalah economic value of time atau nilai ekonomi adalah waktu. Sedangkan sistem ekonomi kapitalis mengemban visi homo economicus yang memandang manusia sebagai makhluk ekonomi dengan sistem yang bertujuan untuk meraih keuntungan sebesar-besarnya dengan modal yang kecil, sehingga pengaplikasiannya dalam aktivitas bisnis adalah time value of money atau nilai waktu adalah uang. (An economic system is a system used in a country to organize and manage all forms of economic activity, so that with the enactment of an economic system, the state can maximize its role in managing and improving all resources at its disposal. This paper attempts to compare an Islamic economic system with a capitalist economic system, both of which have very striking differences when applied in business activities. The results of the study concluded that the Islamic economic system carries a vision of homo Islamicus who views humans as kholifah on earth who is given the ability by Allah to manage the earth and its contents well in meeting its own needs and those around it with the aim of providing balance between individuals, communities and the state, so that its application in business activities is economic value of time or economic value is time. While the capitalist economic system carries a homo economicus vision that views humans as economic creatures with a system that aims to achieve maximum profits with small capital, so that its application in business activities is time value of money or time value is money).
