The Islamic wealth management: An analysis from Ibn Sina’s perspective
Journal Title: Journal of Islamic Thought and Civilization (JITC) - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 0
Abstract
This study aims to present the economic ideas of Ibn-e-Sīnā, dealing with the concept of wealth management. In order to achieve its objectives, this study employs qualitative research that refers to the meanings, concepts, definitions, characteristics, metaphors, symbols and descriptions of the matter under study. The study uses the literatures of Ibn Sīnā related to tadbir al-manzil (economics) to develop a theoretical model of managing wealth that integrates the material, spiritual, moral, social and legal dimensions. There are two methodologies of this study, namely interpretative and historical analytic methods. In his wealth management, there are two main variables; kasb (earning) and infāq (spending). The kasb (earning) is from al-tijārah (trade) and al-ṣinā‟at (manufacturing skills), while infāq is the function of infāq ijtimā'i (common expenditure), infāq dīni (religious expenditure) and aliddikhār (savings). Finding of this study is that the concept of managing the wealth derived from Ibn Sīnā is still relevant to the modern concept of Islamic wealth management.
