This study aims to examine Ibn Taimiyyah's thoughts on the relationship between Islamic law, political economy, and state economic empowerment in the context of fair and sustainable economic development. With the fiqh siyasah approach, Ibn Taimiyyah emphasized the importance of the state's role in creating economic policies that are in favor of the welfare of the people, social justice, and equitable distribution of wealth. This research uses a qualitative method with textual analysis of Ibn Taymiyyah's main works, as well as exploring the relevance of his thoughts in the context of economic development of contemporary Islamic countries. The results of the study show that Ibn Taymiyyah's thinking provides a solid basis for designing more inclusive and equitable economic policies, which can be applied in the economic empowerment of Islamic countries today, by ensuring transparent and fair management of resources.
