A Study Entitled The Role Of The Family In Promoting The Islamic Economy: An Analytical Study Of The Culture Of Rational Consumption And Economic Solidarity

Abstract

This study examines the role of families in promoting Islamic economics, focusing on two key objectives: instilling a culture of consumption rationalization and reducing extravagance, while fostering a culture of economic solidarity among children. The study employed a descriptive analytical approach, analyzing Islamic texts and concepts, reviewing previous literature to derive social and economic dimensions of the family's role in establishing Islamic economic principles. The results show that families play a vital role in supporting Islamic economics by promoting consumption rationalization behaviors through budgeting, expense management, and building economic awareness among children. Additionally, families promote economic solidarity by teaching children values of giving, social responsibility, and encouraging participation in charitable work. The study recommends activating the role of social, educational, and religious institutions in supporting families through workshops, training courses, and awareness campaigns to promote saving and giving values. Furthermore, it suggests implementing Islamic economic concepts in educational curricula, supporting community initiatives that translate these concepts into practical applications, and empowering families to build a balanced and stable society based on justice and solidarity principles.
