Abstract

the existing economic system in the world can be mapped into two categories. The first is the secular group separating economic matters and transcendental religious values as shown by the capitalism and socialism. Its fundamental source is from human thinking products. The second is the spiritual group believing that economic matter is inseparable from spiritual norms from divine teaching such as Quran and Sunnah. In reality, as reported by the experts, secular system, in its implementation, has many weaknesses such as the existing discrepancy and injustice bringing disadvantage for society. To prevent them, it is important to search for the solution. However, economic activities normatively are inseparable from transcendental spiritual values from religious teaching. The experts of Islamic economy agree that the divine aspect (uluhiyyah-rububiyyah-tawhid) is the most essential value source which can guide human being based on the regulation of Allah. Islam teaches that the economic activities involve both worldly and hereafter dimension, physical and spiritual dimension (as worship, Adz-Dzaariyaat, 51: 56). For example, it is important to protect manufacturer and consumer, and employer and employee. Those are the picture of values in Islam which need to be the pivot of wasathiyah economy power (Al-Qashash, 28:77; Al-Ma’arij, 70:24-25) and be revitalized and applied in the economic activities in order to achieve economic justice in the globalization era
