Abstract

Self-sufficiency constitutes a foundational pillar of well-being in Islamic teachings, functioning as a mechanism that balances individual sustainability with collective prosperity. Despite its significance, in-depth scholarly investigations examining hadith as the epistemological framework for developing self-sufficiency remain limited. This study explores the concept of economic self-sufficiency in Islam through a thematic hadith (mawdu‘i) analysis of 22 narrations drawn from the Kutub al-Sittah. Employing a qualitative approach, the study utilised takhrij, thematic categorisation, and triangulation methods to ensure data authenticity. Findings reveal that 21 of the narrations are classified as sahih, with a predominant transmission from Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, underscoring their epistemological robustness and the reliability of their transmitters. Further analysis identifies 12 core economic activities encompassing trade, agriculture, technical and vocational skills, and service-based professions. The study demonstrates that the Prophetic guidance on self-sufficiency is holistic, integrating ethical principles, social justice, and practical competencies. These findings contribute to establishing a normative foundation and operational framework for a resilient Islamic model of economic self-sufficiency, offering potential applications in contemporary contexts of globalisation and digital economic transformation.
