SISTEM KEUANGAN TANPA RIBA DALAM PEMIKIRAN EKONOMI ISLAM KONTEMPORER SOLUSI ATAS KRISIS UTANG DAN KETIMPANGAN PEMBIAYAAN DI INDONESIA

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the concept of a riba-free financial system in contemporary Islamic economic thought and its relevance as a solution to Indonesia’s debt crisis and financing inequality. The research employs a qualitative-descriptive library method by examining the works of modern Islamic economic scholars and data related to national financing conditions. The findings show that a riba-free financial system, based on the principles of justice, profit-and-loss sharing, and transparency, offers a more stable and inclusive alternative compared to interest-based mechanisms. The application of these principles has the potential to reduce household debt burdens, expand financing access for MSMEs, and improve economic distribution. Therefore, the Islamic financial system provides a significant contribution to strengthening Indonesia’s financing structure.
