Ahmad Khairuddin
The author is interested in examining and explaining the issue of poverty from the perspective of Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), stating that poverty is caused by several factors, such as natural disasters, structured systems, exploitation of humans and nature, and political and economic systems. Poverty is a true reflection of social life, both in rural and urban areas, and even in developing countries, the issue of poverty cannot be overlooked. Poverty is a problem that always haunts every human life in the world. Several negative impacts continue to appear in all parts of the world due to the problem of poverty. One of the aims of the Islamic Religion was to bring humanity to a life which is full of prosperity and out of poverty. Muhammad as a Prophet not only responded to matters relating to human relations with the Lord, but also horizontally dealt with human relations with each other. With his example and wise attitude, the Prophet Muhammad responded to the problem of poverty with several solutions. The moral perfection of the Prophet Muhammad is reflected in his hadiths, so it is interesting to be studied comprehensively. Discussing thematically and systematically the terms of poverty in hadith became a concrete step to uncover the Prophet's method of alleviating poverty. So that the hadith as a way of life can provide suggestions for solutions for the life of Muslims in particular, and for humans as a whole in general in alleviating the problem of poverty.
