Abstract

This paper is a theoretical article that examines how zakah is able to fulfill and increase the satisfaction of a Muslim consumer, even if it reduces the quantity of goods consumed. In addition, this article will also clarify the role and function of zakah in dealing with the problem of economic inequality. Economic inequality is characterized by uneven distribution of income and wealth and only revolves around a handful of people. This made the gap between rich and poor deepening. One of the factors causing the gap is the behavior of consumers who tend to pursue pure utility. So that it fosters greed in itself and increases negative behaviors such as hoarding property, and makes wealth not circulated in the community evenly. This study also identifies the impact of zakat on public consumption behavior which also has direct implications for income distribution. The results of the study show that utility in Islamic economics is a combination of two utilities. Worldly utilities that represent real satisfaction directly felt such as feeling full, happiness in the world, fulfilled their life needs. Also the ukhrawi utility is represented by an increase in faith and piety, and a reward that is expected to be obtained in the hereafter. Where zakah is able to increase the two types of utilities. This concept encourages rich Muslim communities to distribute their income through zakat instruments to the poor. So that the redistribution of income fairly can be realized through zakah, and in the end is able to realize equitable welfare in the community.
效用最大化与收入公平分配:天课如何同时影响两者?
这篇论文是一篇理论文章,研究了光明节如何能够满足并提高穆斯林消费者的满意度,即使它减少了消费的商品数量。此外,本文还将阐明光明节在处理经济不平等问题方面的作用和作用。经济不平等的特点是收入和财富分配不均,只围绕少数人。这使得贫富差距不断加深。造成这种差距的因素之一是消费者倾向于追求纯粹效用的行为。因此,它本身助长了贪婪,增加了囤积财产等负面行为,使财富在社区中的流通不均衡。本研究还确定了天课对公众消费行为的影响,这对收入分配也有直接影响。研究结果表明,伊斯兰经济学中的效用是两种效用的结合。直接感受到的代表真正满足感的世俗效用,如饱腹感、幸福感,满足了他们的生活需求。此外,ukhrawi的效用表现为信仰和虔诚的增加,以及未来有望获得的回报。其中zakah能够增加两种类型的公用事业。这一概念鼓励富裕的穆斯林社区通过天课乐器将收入分配给穷人。因此,通过光明节可以实现收入的公平再分配,并最终实现社区的公平福利。
