| Summary: | Seeing the reality lack of welfare society, it’s requires new concepts to improve economics,
social, cultural and religious comprehensively in a welfare system. To achieve this objective
is needed a new paradigm of thinking about the concept, that is new thinking to create system
welfare in all side. To realize these goals, must find an ideal concept; one way is to look from
religion perspective. In this paper we propose Islamic concept, as primary basis, where in
Islamic theory philanthropy is a main factor inside economics welfare. Then will see how
function and position of Islamic philanthropy in terms of Maqasid al-Syariyyah, combined
with the current economic welfare. This paper brings two issues, first how authenticity
Islamic philanthropy itself and whether it has rationality value in economic? Second is
whether Islamic philanthropy gave an affect for economic welfare system? Method used is
the thrusts of economic welfare theory involving with philanthropic activities that have been
applied by west society, what weaknesses of it, and then compared with the concept of
Islamic philanthropy. Results of this study found that Islamic philanthropy having rationality
in economic theory; this can be proved by a function of income, expenditures and life
satisfaction by personal utility. These functions having wide implications, this may be able to
affect in welfare system at the macroeconomic level. |
