Abstract

Unemployment is one of the main problems in the modern economy that can disrupt the social and economic stability of a country. From an Islamic economic perspective, unemployment is seen as a form of wasted human resources and an injustice in the distribution of job opportunities. This article aims to analyze the concept of unemployment in Islamic economics, its causes, and the solutions offered by the Islamic economic system to overcome it. The method used is a literature study from various primary and secondary sources, including the Qur'an, Hadith, and contemporary Islamic economic literature. The results of the study indicate that Islamic economics emphasizes the importance of productivity, equitable distribution of wealth, and individual empowerment as solutions to overcome unemployment. Instruments such as zakat, waqf, qardhul hasan, and the Islamic labor market system can be used as a means to reduce the unemployment rate. In conclusion, the holistic application of Islamic values ​​in Economic policies can be a strategic alternative to reduce unemployment in a sustainable manner.
