At its zenith, the dynasty enjoyed immense wealth, resulting in widespread prosperity among its citizens. The state’s revenues were primarily derived from two sources: community contributions and government enterprises. Community revenues included various forms of taxation such as al-iqtha', al-jizya, zakat, excise, al-ahbas, al-mawarits al-hasyriyyah, and al-amwal al-mashadirah. Government enterprises contributed through income from rentals of hotels and shops, as well as profits from trade, industry, and other state-owned economic sectors. The Fatimids invested significantly in diverse economic areas such as agriculture—cultivating wheat, sugarcane, and fruits with an advanced irrigation system; crafts—manufacturing ships, weapons, textiles, and household items; and both domestic and international trade. These economic advancements played a crucial role in maintaining the dynasty’s power for over 250 years (297-567 H / 909-1171 AD). This study provides a comprehensive examination of the Fatimids’ economic policies and strategies, highlighting their contributions to Islamic economic thought and their impact on subsequent developments in the region.</p> Meiska Fardani Nuratika Sirajuddin Copyright (c) 2024 Meiska Fardani, Nuratika, Sirajuddin https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-06-12 2024-06-12 3 1 12 23 10.59110/aplikatif.v3i1.271 History and Humans: Study of the Urgency and Position of History in Human Life http://rcsdevelopment.org/index.php/aplikatif/article/view/330 <p>Humans in their civilization gain insight into human failures and successes through history.
