People Protecting Property

 Islam provides a solution in keeping the country's natural wealth for the welfare of the people.
VOC rule base problem in Indonesia is a new style of regulation. They can freely carry out the action because it is supported by the legalization of the rules in their favor. Especially not a secret if the draft rules of legislation that is now the law is the work of these VOCs.
A tough eliminate foreign domination in the absence of regulatory changes fundamentally. Only question is, is it possible regulation is modified 'against the' dominance while the rulers and representatives of the people have come to feel 'delights' of the regulation? And this is for the authorities is a danger because VOCs can be dropped as it did in the Sukarno and Suharto.

Islamic Solution

There should be a fundamental regulatory changes related to mastery itself. Can the property / goods that dominate the life of the people handed over to individuals or private companies? In a case like this, Islam has a very clear answer. Islam strictly regulate the ownership issue.
Islam distinguishes ownership of private property into three namely; public property, and state-owned. Personal / private should not have a public property or state property.
Common ownership include: first, public facilities; includes all facilities required by the public if there is no will cause hardship for the community or the public and can lead to disputes; Second, the mineral in huge quantities. It's haram privately owned. Examples: petroleum, gold, silver, iron, copper, etc.. Third, objects that impede its formation properties to be owned by the person; includes roads, rivers, seas, lakes, public lands, bays, straits, and so on.
Management of common property is fully performed by the state as a representative of the people. The results are used for the prosperity of the people. There is a prerequisite in the management of property / public goods is that as much as possible not to cause damage to both the environment, ecosystems and social.
Prophet Muhammad had adopted a policy to give the salt mines to Abyadh Hammal bin Al Mazini. However, the policy was later retracted by the Prophet after learning that the mine was given to Abyadh bin Hammal like flowing water.
Based on the hadith, allowed individual control of the mine area, if large and small deposit. The results obtained by the exploitation of minerals is subject to khums individual or one-fifth to put in the Baitul Mal (Treasury) as part of the treasure fai.
In contrast, minerals are an infinite number of individuals should not be controlled because it includes common property and the results are included in cash Baitul Mal. Messenger of Allah said, "The Muslim allies in three things: water, pasture and fire." (Abu Dawud). This hadith also confirms, that includes common property natural resources hinder its formation properties of individuals to own it.
Thus, control of natural resources in the hands of the state will not only contribute to the security provision of primary commodities for the purposes of defense and the economy, but also be abundant source of state income on postal property public property.
If such a way as to limit state ownership, there will be no multinational company will arbitrarily entered as VOCs. If the country needed them in a particular case such exploitation, for example, they are just as operators are contracted.
It was still limited by the diplomatic relations between countries. Islam considers there should be no relationship at all with countries hostile to Muslims. Haram make contact with them, including with his companies.
Such arrangements do not exist in the liberal economic system prevailing now. Possession limit is unclear. Restrictions on the ownership of an item is determined only by the ability of the individual. As a result, the strong who it was he who can master any items. While the weak are eliminated. This is what led to the emergence of human exploitation of other humans.
As a result, economic collapse is happening now is actually very clear that the source-secular capitalist system itself is liberalizing the economy sector. Islam there is no contribution at all in such economic damage. Indeed Islam offers solutions for solving that problem.
Only, the Islamic economic system would be able to provide welfare people, both Muslim and non-Muslims under the Caliphate
countries that practice Islam are kaffah.
