offer approaches that are in line with the ethical values adopted by society. This study aims to find

views of Islamic economics on capitalist individualism. The research method uses descriptive
qualitative and the main variables in this study are capitalist individualism and Islamic economic
ethics. Based on the results of the research analysis shows that: 1) Mostly, the dimensions of
individualism in capitalism and Islam are different. 2) The biggest difference lies in the

rationality, while Islam is oriented to the balance of the world and the hereafter. 3) Islam is very
synonymous with ethics or morals that are oriented to the Qur'an and Hadith, while capitalists
adhere to the principles of self-interest and rationality. 4) While the similarities between the two
