THE ROLE OF THE STATE IN THE ISLAMIC ECONOMIC SYSTEM: A REVIEW OF ABBAS MIRAKHOR'S THOUGHT

Islamic economy is a progressive and dynamic economy. Various new theories have been raised as an offer for the development of Islamic economics, one of which was carried out by Abbas Mirakhor. This article discusses the main principles of the economic system to the role of the state; an offer of Abbas Mirakhor to Islamic economics. To know more deeply the Islamic economic thoughts offered by Abbas Mirakhor, from the main principles of the economic system to the role of the state in the economy. This article uses a type of qualitative research using library research. The results of this study indicate that Abbas is a practitioner of Islamic economics and finance who has a good reputation in the world, both Islam and the West and is considered a reformer in the Islamic economy, and is part of the Iqtishad school of thought. In the field of the Islamic economic system, Mirakhor argues that the main principle of the Islamic economic system requires distribution in two mechanisms, namely freedom, and justice, without which prosperity will not be realized. Therefore, there is a need for a hermeneutical approach to answering various problems that occur in the Islamic economic system. In the context of the state, according to Mirakhor, the state has a very significant role in the welfare of society, especially through its productive policies. The state must also be present in realizing justice amid society.


Introduction
Islamic economy is one of the world economic systems. Its existence is parallel to other world economies such as capitalist and socialist economies. Although there are many fundamental differences in it. With an orientation towards maslahah and falah, Islamic economics is at the forefront of offering various economic concepts that are non-discriminatory, detrimental, and exploitative. At this point, the Islamic economy is frontier and more advanced than the two existing economic systems.
Since its inception, Islamic economics has been widely doubted, even considered to be baseless and not based on scientific facts and methodology, especially among Western scientists and economists. They do not believe in the ability of Islamic economics to answer various problems that arise in the economic field. Therefore, it is not surprising that the contribution of economic thought is ignored by Western scientists and economists, especially in world economics textbooks.
Yet when viewed from the historical aspect, Islamic economics has been discussed and practiced in everyday life. Even since the time of the Prophet Muhammad and his friends. However, the development of Islamic economics stopped, because of the dichotomy between religion and science which was born as a result of dogmatization that occurred during the dark period (taqlid). In addition, the strong domination of the capitalist and socialist economy as a result of the politics of  (Aravik, 2017).
Islamic economics began to be a serious study back in the 1930s with the birth of progressive and dynamic Islamic economic thoughts that we're able to answer various fundamental problems in the economic field. One of the important figures in the field of economic studies is Abbas Mirakhor, who offers many Islamic economic concepts ranging from the main principles of the Islamic economic system to the role of the state in realizing people's welfare.

Research Methode
This research is a type of qualitative research that uses a library research method.
Library research is research conducted using literature, either in the form of books, notes, or other reference sources. Data collection techniques in this study are identification of discourse through books, articles, journals, web (internet), and other information related to the title of the research to look for things related to the theme discussed. This research uses data analysis in the form of content analysis. This method is used to analyze the meaning contained in Abbas Mirakhor's thoughts on Islamic economics. The resulting data is descriptive data that is written words presented narratively.

A. Biography of Abbas Mirakhor
Mirakhor is a practitioner of Islamic economics and finance who has a good reputation in the world, both Islam and the West, and is even considered one of the reformers of the world's Islamic economy, who is credible and consistent in building to the classical socialism group translating the meaning of "fair", namely no one has the privilege to get more than others, meaning that no one gets the facility to get more than others, in other words, that everyone gets equal. But Islam has its meaning in interpreting 'fair', namely laa tadhlimuuna wa laa tudhlamuuna which means not judging one another (Aravik, 2017).
So according to the Iqtishaduna School of thought that there is a difference in principle between economics and Islamic ideology so that there will not be a meeting point between Islam and economics. So economics cannot go in harmony with Islam.
Economics is still economics, and Islam is still Islam. These two things will not be reconciled because they come from different understandings and philosophies. One is not-Islam (don't believe in God) and one is Muslim (God). This difference in P-ISSN : 2460-9595 E-ISSN : 2686-5149 DOI. 10.36908/isbank understanding and philosophy will have an impact on the different perspectives used in viewing an economic problem, including the analytical tools used.
In addition, this school argues that problems in the economy arise because of an unequal and unfair distribution as a result of an economic system that justifies the exploitation of a group of weak parties by a group of strong parties, where the strong will be able to control the resources that are while on the other hand, the weak have no access to these resources. So that economic problems arise not because of limited resources, but because of unlimited human greed. In addition, in Islam it has been affirmed that Allah Swt.. has created creatures in this world including humans with sufficient economic resources as confirmed in His words "And He has created everything and He determines its measurements as neatly as possible" (QS. al-Furqan [25]: 2). Thus, Allah Swt. has created everything that is perfectly measurable. This means that Allah Swt. has provided sufficient resources for humans. So in this case the concept of scarcity is unacceptable .
This school also rejects the notion that human needs are unlimited. Because, in certain needs such as eating and drinking when the stomach is full, then he is satisfied because his needs have been met. So that the conclusion, that human needs are not limited as described in the concept of the law of diminishing marginal utility that the more goods are consumed, at a certain point it will cause additional satisfaction from each additional quantity of goods consumed will decrease.
With the various problems above, the term Islamic economics according to this School is an inaccurate and misleading term, so that the term Islamic economics must be stopped and eliminated. Instead, to explain the economic system with Islamic principles, a new term originating from Islamic philosophy is offered, namely Iqtishad. Here are some of Abbas Mirakhor's economic thoughts which greatly contributed to the thinking and development of global Islamic economics and finance:

Main Principles of Islamic Economic System
The Islamic economic system is a collection of institutions, namely formal and informal codes of ethics and their enforcement characteristics, which were designed by shahibut tasyri 'namely Allah Swt. through various regulations described in the Alqur'an, operated by the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad and extended to new situations by ijtihad, to handle limited resource allocation, production, exchange of goods and services, and distribution of income and wealth (Iqbal, Zamir;Mirakhor, 2011). The Islamic economic system requires that in terms of distribution it must be based on two aspects, namely freedom, and justice. Freedom here is the freedom that is framed by the values of monotheism and justice, unlike the capitalist understanding which states as an act of freeing humans to act and act without interference from any party, but as a balance between individuals and their material and spiritual elements, the P-ISSN : 2460-9595 E-ISSN : 2686-5149 DOI. 10.36908/isbank balance between individual and society as well as between one society and another (Zakiyah, 2017).
To provide a comprehensive understanding of the Islamic economic system, Mirakhor suggested that the approach in the study of Islamic economics also uses a hermeneutical approach. This approach is different from interpretation because the hermeneutical nature is the process of extracting economic meaning from the first order interpretation. With this approach, it is estimated that Islamic economics in the future will be rich with economic theories that are truly based on the Koran and Sunnah (Mirakhor, 2007 Methodologically, Islam has provided general guidelines and principles for economic activities to run following the corridors of humanity (Haneef, 2005).
Epistemologically, Islam does not separate the economy from the value system. Islamic teachings are a moral imperative category to control human economic behavior (Wilber, 2003). The main principles of the Islamic economic system are as follows: First, property rights. The first basic principle of ownership in Islam states that Allah alone is the real owner of the original owner. So that human beings can materially carry out their duties and obligations, they are given the right to have. Therefore, the second principle of ownership forms the collectivity right over the resources a person has. A person can acquire ownership rights to property through his creative work, and/or by transfer by exchange, contract, loan, or inheritance.
Second, the obligation of ownership. Individual responsibility for ownership is the responsibility of sharing income and not wasting, destroying, wasting, or using these has the right to forcefully ask (or take over) that person's property for others (Iqbal, Zamir;Mirakhor, 2011).
Third, the contract. The concept of contract in Islam is not only important in the legal aspect of exchange, as a necessary institution for the fulfillment of legitimate human needs, but also as a concept that underlies sharia. A Muslim is constantly reminded of the importance of contractual agreements, and believers must honor their covenant with their Lord. One of the reasons why the Islamic muamalah (transaction) system is so clear is that it is based on solid contract principles and is also based on the rights and obligations of each party to the contract.   (Iqbal, Zamir;Mirakhor, 2011).
Seventh, wealth. Islam considers wealth as the lifeblood of a community that must continue to rotate. Therefore, the practice of amassing wealth is prohibited. The implication is that wealth can legitimately be invested to increase welfare. Expenditures of wealth is an obligation regulated by sharia. After the obligation is carried out, the remaining property belongs to the owner but must be used following sharia regulations.
In addition, Islam regulates wealth to minimize conflict between rich and poor groups, through fair distribution of wealth (Rahman, 2017).
Eighth, blessing. An important factor in the Islamic incentive system is the concept of blessing which serves as a material enticement for individuals to follow justified behavior. The concept of blessing states that correct behavior, namely behavior that is blessed by Allah Swt., will get multiple rewards. The better the behavior, the greater the presence of the blessing. This concept emphasizes that someone who spends his wealth because of Allah, will not cause his wealth to decrease but instead increase.
This kind of action will earn the culprit a lot of merits. This concept creates a positive correlation between behavior and system prosperity (Iqbal, Zamir;Mirakhor, 2011).
Ninth, risk-sharing. This is based on the principle of liability, which states that profits are justified based on the responsibility taken by a person, there is even a possibility that each party is also responsible for the losses and consequences that may arise. Tenth, competition, and cooperation. The Islamic economic system does not make humans merely tools in achieving economic or state goals. Islam tries to guide people towards direct and responsible individual action and participation in economic matters using solidarity and cooperation which will result in economic dynamism and growth.

The Concept of Economic Justice
Allah Swt. has created and designed His creation including the universe and its nature, as well as humans in equal proportion. If there is a deviation from this balance, the entire system of beings may collapse or function poorly, including in economic activities carried out by humans (Adnan Abd Rashid & Arifin Mamat, 2013). Islam states that justice is a universal goal to be achieved in perfect balance (Zakiyah, 2017).
Meanwhile, the main goal of Muslims is the creation of economic justice which is part of a just, healthy, and moral society. Islam expects the creation of an energetic,  (Iqbal, Zamir;Mirakhor, 2011). DOI. 10.36908/isbank sellers and buyers, selling products at substandard prices, dumping, hoarding, and bidding without the intention of buying, are prohibited actions. All forms of behavior that lead to ownership rights without going through the correct work process are prohibited (Iqbal, Zamir;Mirakhor, 2011).
Third, distributive justice is a mechanism in which freedom and equal equity are reconciled without violating each other. Islam considers that poverty and inequality are not caused by scarcity or lack of resources, or due to an unsynchronized mode of production and distribution, but rather the result of waste, luxury, waste, and neglect of payments that belong to the community. Islam does not hesitate to assume that all individuals are connected to a certain standard of living; so fulfilling the rights of the poor is a matter of equality and justice, not a matter of generosity alone (Iqbal, Zamir;Mirakhor, 2011).

The Concept of Riba and Gharar in Islam
The term usury is closely related to muamalah activities (Sofhian, 2015). The term usury refers to excess, addiction, and surplus, and the verb related to this word means, to increase, multiply, exaggerate, take more than it should be, or carry out the practice of borrowing money with high interest. By focusing on usury on financial transactions, according to sharia, it technically refers to the premium that must be paid by borrowers to those who provide loans together with the principal amount of debt as a condition for borrowing or an extension of the loan period (Iqbal, Zamir;Mirakhor, 2011).
In Arabic, usury is used in the sense of increasing, expanding, swelling, fattening and having fun, and so on (Ahmed, 2013). Riba in English is called usury, which means taking excessive interest on borrowed money, so it tends to lead to exploitation or extortion (Umam, 2018). Meanwhile, interest is the additional amount paid/received from the principal amount according to the agreement due to the period attached (A. Ahmad & Humayoun, 2011). Thus usury or interest is in principle the same. inappropriately, it means that there is an injustice that tarnishes human sanctity (Iqbal, Zamir;Mirakhor, 2011).
Riba is considered as an increase or excess of principal or, more precisely, a fixed surplus over debt. In modern economic theory, profit is also seen as a surplus or residual value over contractual payments or just the difference between income and costs (Nur, 2008), of course, this is not true in sharia. The existence of usury is also incompatible with the Islamic value system, which prohibits all forms of unjustified wealth seeking.
Riba, which represents unequal and therefore unjustified financial gain, is different from trading, which results in an exchange of equal value. By eliminating usury, each party in the contract will get a fair and equal reward, which in turn will lead to an equal distribution of income and then to a more equitable economic system (Iqbal, Zamir;Mirakhor, 2011).
Riba is against the nature of human life on earth, creates conflict, and destroys cooperation. Riba contradicts the nature of the production environment which is characterized by the uncertainty of yields. Thus, all contracts and financial transactionsas certain forms of contracts -must comply with sharia principles and only apply if they do not contain usury (Rahman, 2017), uncertainty (gharar), gambling (maisir), and prohibited activities (non-halal) (Johanna Pesendorfer, 2016). Broadly speaking, usury can live latently or potently in a discriminatory, exploitative, and predatory economic system which means that it can live in a subordinated, capitalistic, neoliberalism, and hegemonic imperialistic economic system (Kalsum, 2014 interest. Usury emphasizes taking excessive profits on borrowing money, while interest according to some people is normal, to maintain the value of a currency (Umam, 2018).
Answering this question Abbas Mirakhor stated that in the aspect of interest, riba is not justified because interest is a property that is claimed outside the framework of legal Interest as a resource that can be invested is not efficient because it is allocated not according to productivity but according to the creditworthiness of the borrower. So the concept of usury is more than just a prohibition to collect interest, it is also prohibited from making more than what is given (Rahman, 2017).
In modern times, towards the mid-1980s, economic and financial theories have shown that there are weaknesses in contracts in interest-based banking. Among them: First, these contracts or covenants create inefficient defaults on financial liabilities or assets. Second, because the information is asymmetrical, money covenants contain a moral hazard effect and a poor selection effect. Third, the fixed cost agreement creates a fundamental conflict between the interests of the lender and the borrower. Fourth, the social sector with low profitability will not be financed, new entrepreneurs who have good projects may not receive funds because they do not have the required securities (Iqbal, Zamir;Mirakhor, 2011). So interest has become the economic hallmark of the dominant western civilization, while Islamic civilization in its heyday functioned based on profit sharing and trade credit. The rejection of interests is an important step towards the economic revival of Muslims (Rahman, 2017).
Many Muslim scholars claim that Islam's prohibition of usury has two dimensions; the first dimension is to present business and commercial contracts with an As an alternative to the interest system in conventional economies, Islamic economics offers a profit and loss sharing system when the owner of capital (surplus spending unit) cooperates with entrepreneurs (deficit spending unit) to carry out business activities. If the business activities generate profits, the profits are shared and if the business activities suffer losses, the losses are also shared. This profit-sharing system can take the form of mudharabah or musyarakah with various variations (Budiantoro et al., 2018).
Meanwhile, gharar is the most important element in a financial contract. In simple terms, gharar comes from problems related to information and refers to the uncertainty created by a lack of information and knowledge about the outcome of the contract or the nature and quality of the subject matter or lack of control in the contract (Uddin, 2015).
Gharar is considered as neglect of essential elements in a transaction, such as the exact selling price or the seller's willingness to provide what is being sold, and so on. The existence of gharar in the contract makes the contract null and void (Iqbal, Zamir;Mirakhor, 2011).
Gharar is interpreted as a situation where there is a contracted party who has no information regarding the articles in the contract, which are held by the other party, and/or the contract article is something that cannot be controlled by either party. For example, buying and selling transactions of birds or fish that have not been caught, calves that are still in their mother's stomach, and animals that have escaped and have not been caught, and so on. All of these cases involved selling items whose existence was a possibility. Another example is when the subject of a sale and purchase is not owned by one of the parties and there is uncertainty about its ownership in the future (Iqbal, Zamir;Mirakhor, 2011 (Uddin, 2015).
Gharar forms are all uncertainties of quantity, quality, ability to return, or the existence of goods that are the subject of the contract, all of which are contrary to sharia . By viewing gharar as excessive uncertainty, one can negotiate gharar with an element of risk. The ban on gharar will force the parties to avoid contracts that are not informed, and this prohibition will make the transacting parties more responsible and accountable. However, becoming gharar as a risk has consequences, namely the prohibition of trading in gharar. The prohibition of trading in gharar is considered a risk prohibition or prohibition of derivative instruments in today's financial markets, which are designed to transfer risk from one party to another. One of the implications of the ban on gharar is the prohibition of pure speculation and gambling activities, which contain asymmetric information, excessive uncertainty, extreme risk, and lack of control (Iqbal, Zamir;Mirakhor, 2011). In conventional insurance, the premiums paid by policyholders and the compensation provided by the insurer for a claim are equally  (Uddin, 2015).

The Role of the State in Islamic Economics
Islam considers economic relations and behavior as a way of integrating society into a higher level of reality. To this end, one is required to view one's economic attainment as a means, not an end. All rules of conduct relating to economic matters are addressed to individuals and groups. This group is organized into a form of government, which is represented by the state. The state is considered a basic institution that must exist to organize social life, to create material and spiritual prosperity, and to maintain and spread faith (Iqbal, Zamir;Mirakhor, 2011). With a basic function as stated by Ibn Khaldun that makes everyone follow sharia in their life (Mulyana, 2017).
The state must be present in the form of carrying out an ideal justice system as the implementation of duties and responsibilities in the way of Allah, without discriminating even against itself or its people (Adnan Abd Rashid & Arifin Mamat, 2013). Because the state is the party that has the authority to lay the foundations of regulations that support and protect economic growth and activity (Hidayatullah, 2015).
Meanwhile, the essential purpose of an established country is to provide maslahah to all of its people without exception. Maslahah should be able to deliver all members of society to prosperity in this world and the hereafter (Mahtum, 2019).
The most important role of the state is closely related to the Islamic political economy (Zakiyah, 2017). In addition, the role of the state is a derivation of the concept of the caliphate and the consequence of collective obligations (fard al-kifayah) to realize falah. The state is the holder of the mandate of Allah and His Messenger as well as the mandate of the community to carry out collective tasks in creating welfare and (al-adl wah ihsan) for all people. In general, the role of this state will be related to realizing an Islamic market concept and realizing the goals of the Islamic economy as a whole (Sulistyowati, 2017 First, ensuring all people have equal access to natural resources and ways of earning a living. Second, ensure that every individual has equal opportunities to get education, skills, and technology and the opportunity to take advantage of all these resources.
Third, ensure the market is properly monitored so that fairness in exchange can be achieved. As is the practice of Rasulullah Saw., he often conducts inspections to the market to check prices and market mechanisms so that there are no actions that are contrary to sharia values. Fourth, ensure the transfer of wealth from the rich to the poor following sharia rules. Fifth, ensure fair distribution of the next generation through the implementation of inheritance rules.
To maximize these roles, the state is given the right to design specific economic policies to achieve all these goals. To finance the expenses needed to carry out its duties, the state through sharia regulations is given the authority to control, use and manage some natural resources, for example, mining. Sharia also allows the state to collect taxes if there is a gap between revenue from resources and government spending.
Even the state is allowed to go into debt, as long as it does not involve interest and in an emergency arena (Iqbal, Zamir;Mirakhor, 2011).
Thus, the state has the highest authority and role to eliminate inequality and disparity in society caused by various unhealthy economic practices such as hoarding, monopoly, oligopoly, and fraud. As expected by Ibnu Khaldun, the role of the state as a facilitator of human development and welfare (Zakiyah, 2017). Therefore, the weakness of state intervention in a liberal-capitalist economy has brought several accesses and negative consequences. Starting from the level of unequal income, increasing poverty, and widening social disparities. This happens, a market that works optimally makes competition inevitable, entrepreneurs with the large capital beat and displace small entrepreneurs. Capital and wealth revolve around only a handful of people.
In contrast, in a socialist system, inequality, poverty, and income distribution can be overcome. However, the competition system is prohibited, the drive for achievement and increasing productivity tends to be absent. As a result, this system failed to promote significant economic growth. So in an Islamic economic perspective, the role of the P-ISSN : 2460-9595 E-ISSN : 2686-5149 DOI. 10.36908/isbank state must contribute to ensuring the creation of conditions that support the mechanism of economic activity to run fairly, and encourage the birth of morality which is adorned with an attitude of honesty, openness, and justice to produce healthy competition, not as the liberal-capitalist concept or socialist-communists.

Conclusions
From the discussion above about the problems raised, it can be concluded that Abbas Mirakhor is one of the important figures in Islamic economics, including a reformer in the Islamic economy and a follower of the Iqtishad School. Abbas Mirakhor's offer in Islamic economics is seen in the use of a hermeneutic approach as a solution in comprehensive research and study of the Islamic economic system. In the context of the role of the state, Mirakhor requires the state to be present in the form of implementing an ideal justice system. Because the role of the state is closely related to the Islamic political economy. Therefore, the state must ensure that all people have equal access to natural resources and earn a living, the state must ensure that every individual has equality in all matters, the state must ensure a market that is free of manipulation and control, and ensure the transfer of wealth from the rich to the poor as well as the distribution of justice that lasts for the next generation
