Through literature studies
and qualitative approaches aimed to examine and interpret the events related to policies
and the role of government, then compare to Islamic governments in the past. In the era
of Amirul Mukminin bin Al-Khattab as the second caliph, he ran the government firmly
but was very sensitive to his people. The policies, that he issued, were for the benefit of
the people, not only Muslims but also all citizens who live in the authority of Umar's
caliphate. These policies in community empowerment during Umar's time should be
interpreted in the current context. The era is known as the digital age, of course, it needs
to modify the policies of the previous era so that they can be relevant and able to be
implemented in real terms.
