Abstract

The problem of poverty is one of the most important problems faced by humans. The Qur'an and Sunnah have referred to it in many places. The legacy of jurisprudence is also filled with many problems regarding the problem of poverty and what is related to it, such as defining poverty, how to measure it, its most important indicators, and how to deal with it. Unfortunately, there are still many Muslims who live below the poverty line, even though they live in areas rich in natural resources. Based on this fact, it is very important to know how the perspective of the Quran in fighting poverty with a thematic interpretation approach. This paper aims to answer the following questions: 1) what is the view of the Quran on poverty?, 2) how is the impact of poverty on life according to the Quranic perspective?, 3) What are the Quranic teachings to fight poverty ? This research is a literature review that uses the thematic interpretation method. Among the conclusions of this study; 1) The Quran teaches every Muslim to hate poverty, and strive to get out of poverty. 2) Poverty gives birth to many negative impacts on life, ranging from the problem of kufr, crime, to inequality. 3) Al-Quran teaches that in general poverty can be fought from two aspects; first: aspects of improving aqidah and belief, and second: aspects of seeking the causes of eliminating poverty and its indications, ranging from encouragement to work, utilizing resources as well as possible, developing wealth, distribution of wealth, to calls for more optimal empowerment of zakat and waqf
