ABSTRACT
This paper is intended to analyze and understand the Islamic management of poverty and to find the accurate solution and understand the real meaning of poverty the Islamic way that has been suggested by Malaysian scholar Muhammad Syukri Salleh from Universiti Sains of Malaysia (USM). The issue of managing poverty has been a long debated subject since the early 60s until today. Writers and scholars from various countries and continents are always sharing and exploring this issue. The conventional management thinking is the dominant thinking now, and as a Muslim based thinking and view, it is certainly not suitable for normal management instruments to be used. Among the reasons is that it does not have sufficient analytical instruments to examine the management of poverty, let alone to produce an Islamic solution. To acquire a solution, this paper will try to find the answer in Muhammad Syukri Salleh’s thought on poverty. He has worked on it for quite a long time and has came up with interesting thoughts This hopefully will help to understand poverty management from an Islamic perspective.
