The problem of socio-economic phenomena always attracts the
attention of various layers of society and individuals because the State's
economic stability is the backbone of the material prosperity of the people. It
will positively impact development in multiple fields. The Covid-19 Pandemic
outbreak that occurred paralyzed not only humans but also paralyzed the
Indonesian economy. During Al-Maqriz's life there was starvation and
Inflation in the government of the Bani Mamluks in Egypt, Inflation during
this period became the main attraction of researchers to make Al-Maqrizi's
Economic Thought as a cornerstone of this research theory. This study aims
to determine the concepts and work of Al-Maqrizi in his contribution to the
Islamic Economy with his relationship with the Covid-19 Pandemic in
Indonesia by using the literature study research method and field
observations. He was armed with adequate experience as a muhtasib (market
watchdog). Al-Maqrizi discussed the problem of Inflation and the role of
money in it, a fantastic discussion at that time because it correlated two
things that were very rarely done by Muslim and Western thinkers. Inflation
occurring in Indonesia is still relatively stable even amid the soaring Rupiah
exchange rate when compared with Inflation in the same period before the co-
19 epidemic broke out in Indonesia.
