Abstract

The fulfillment of human needs entails meeting both material and spiritual needs. Money can be used as a transaction tool to meet a person’s material and spiritual needs. However, there are distinctions between how people perceive money as Muslims (homo Islamicus) and as economic men (homo economicus). This research aims to explain people’s perspective toward money from a human standpoint as a homo economicus and a homo Islamicus. This research used a qualitative method, with data gathered using library data collection techniques. The results of this research revealed that there are differences and similarities between human perspectives on money. The difference in how people perceive money lies in how they look at the function of money, motivation of holding money, and implications of money. The homo Islamic-economic perspective towards money must be able to fulfill the function of money as a human provision in achieving a balance between the world and the hereafter, where money is used to meet human needs, both material and spiritual, as well as money as a flow concept and public property.
