Abstract

This paper is motivated by the lack of studies in Malay Economic system which rich cultural treasure, one of which is called Tunjuk Ajar. This term means teaching, advice, and rules in life for the Malays. One of the figures who wrote Tunjuk Ajar Melayu was a culturalist, Tenas Effendy. The research problem to be addressed is how the economic values in Malay teaching and learning are correlated with Islamic values. This paper hence explores Islamic principles in Malay community's economy and culture. The method used is library research with historical and philosophical approaches. The study found that there are eleven economic principles in the Tunjuk Ajar that are in line with the concept of Islamic Economics: trustworthy and accountable, fair and equitable, independent, anti-monopoly, self-confident and faithful, tolerant, balance between worldly and hereafter profit, alternate, broad-minded, social solidarity, and saving. This paper adds to literature on treasures of Malay culture, not only from a cultural perspective but also from an economic perspective as a work ethic for the Malay community.
