The Concept of Production and Environment in the Perspective of Islamic Economic

Abstract

This study aims to describe the concept of production and the environment in the perspective of Islamic economics. The methodology used is qualitative-library-descriptive. The conclusion obtained is that the role of humans, which in Islam is called caliph, is actually a creature delegated by Allah Swt. to prosper the earth. Nature has been designed by Allah Swt. to submit to human interests, designed intended to meet human welfare. The motive for maximizing profit is seen as not wrong in Islam. Efforts to seek profit is a logical consequence of one's production activities because profit is a sustenance given by Allah Swt. to humans. In the view of Islam, production is not just a worldly activity, but also a means to seek happiness in life in the hereafter. For this reason, the motivation of producers in maximizing profits must be carried out in ways that are in line with the objectives of sharia (maqasid sharia). Maintenance of the environment and its preservation is the same as efforts to perfect the objectives of the sharia. The rules of production in Islam cover many things with the aim of benefiting human life, including: producing halal goods and services; preventing damage on earth; meeting the need to achieve prosperity; the independence of the people; and improving the quality of human resources.
