Sejarah Pengaruh Ajaran Islam terhadap Perekonomian Arab Saudi

Abstract

This study discusses the historical influence of Islamic teachings on the development and structure of Saudi Arabia's economy. As a country that bases its legal and social framework on Islam, Saudi Arabia's economic system is deeply influenced by Sharia principles, such as the prohibition of usury (riba), social justice, and wealth distribution through zakat and waqf. This study traces how Islamic values have shaped economic policies from the early kingdom era to the modern period, including in the management of natural resources, the development of the Islamic finance sector, and economic diversification strategies within Vision 2030. The research methodology includes a literature review and historical analysis of economic policies and relevant religious documents. The findings indicate that Islamic teachings not only serve as the ethical foundation of Saudi Arabia's economy but also act as a driving force in the formation of a national economic system focused on justice and the welfare of the community.
