Studi Komparatif Pemerintahan Republik Indonesia dan Pemerintahan Khalifah Umar Bin Khattab RA

Abstract

This research aims to examine the extent of differences in cash direct aid practices during the time of Caliph Umar Bin Khattab RA and the government of the Republic of Indonesia. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive research method. This study interprets and describes the data related to the situation that is going on, attitudes and views that occur in a society. The researchers concluded that direct cash assistance had been done by Caliph Umar ibn Khattab 1400 years ago. What Caliph Umar ibn Khattab did was actually not far from what the Prophet (PBUH) did, which was to house the orphans, to the poor who included 8 asnab, by optimizing the state income from zakat and taxes. More complicated in Indonesia which is 80% income from taxes and does not optimize zakat. Indonesia also conducted BLT but not as successful as caliph Umar bin Khattab.
