Islamic Economics

Theory and Practice

This book is a comprehensive study, which provides informed knowledge within the field of Islamic Economics. The authors lay down the principal philosophical foundation of a unique and universal theory of Islamic Economics by contrasting it with the perspectives of mainstream economics. The methodological part of the theory of Islamic Economics will arise from the ethical foundation of the Qur'an and the Sunnah (tradition of the Prophet) along with the learned exegeses in such an epistemological derivation of the postulates and formalism of Islamic Economics. This foundational methodology will be contrasted with the contemporary approaches of the random use of mainstream economic theory in Islamic Economics. The book establishes the methodological foundation as the primal and most fundamental premise of the study leading to scientific formalism and the prospect of its application. By way of its Islamic epistemological explanation (philosophical premise) in the form of logical formalism and the use of simple real-world examples, the authors alert the reader that the scientific nature of economics in general and Islamic Economics in particular rests on the conception of the scientific worldview. With its uniquely comparative approach to mainstream economics, this book facilitates a greater understanding of Islamic economic concepts. The senior undergraduate and graduate students will gain exposure to Islamic perspectives of micro- and macroeconomics, money, public finance and development economics. Additionally, this book will be useful to practitioners seeking a greater comprehension of the nature of Islamic economics. It will also enable policymakers to better understand the mechanism of converting institutions, such as public and social policy perspectives.

Islamic Macroeconomics

A Model for Efficient Government, Stability and Full Employment

Islamic Macroeconomics proposes an Islamic model that offers significant prospects for economic growth and durable macroeconomic stability, and which is immune to the defects of the economic models prevailing both in developed and developing countries. An Islamic model advocates a limited government confined to its natural duties of defence, justice, education, health, infrastructure, regulation, and welfare of the vulnerable population. It prohibits interest-based debt and money, and requires full liberalization of all markets including labor, financial, commodity, trade, and foreign exchange markets. The government should be Sharia-compliant in its taxation power and regulatory intervention; it ought to reduce unproductive spending in favor of productive spending. This book is essential reading for students and academics of Islamic economics and finance, economists, practitioners, and researchers.

Several recent theoretical and empirical contributions in macroeconomics showed that the alleviation of poverty is effective when Zakat is used in addition to macroeconomic policies. For example, Ahmed (2008) shows that the simulation ...
