The Foundations of Islamic Economics
Author: Hafas FurqaniPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 568
Book Description
The study explores aspects of the philosophical foundations of Islamic economics to determine if it qualifies to be called a scientific discipline. To qualify, it has to have a clear subject matter, a well-defined body of knowledge, methodology or methodologies to appraise theories and progress in its development. In almost four decades of its development, the study argues that the discourse on these foundations has been relatively limited and this has stunted its genuine and sustainable progress. Qualitative library research with discourse analysis representing the discursive tradition in Islamic scholarship is employed in this study. By observing the present state of affairs in the literature of Islamic economics and utilizing works on philosophy of science in both Islamic and Western traditions, the study attempts to develop the foundational core of Islamic economics as a scientific discipline that will serve as a platform from which further development can take place. The research first discusses the concept of worldview that acts as the unseen foundation of all bodies of knowledge and action; hence it has clear implications for the development of the discipline. The study approaches the subject matter under the specific branches of philosophy- the ontological, epistemological and axiological dimensions- to provide a more systematic reflection of those foundations of Islamic economics. Two chapters each discuss the three dimensions: one generally critically surveys the literature, while the second provides inputs for the 'Islamic perspective' in those dimensions. The ontological dimension of Islamic economics investigates the nature and fundamental elements of Islamic economics, including its definition, subject matter, nature and scope. The epistemological dimension analyses how the various sources of knowledge in Islam impact the methodology of Islamic economics and affects the criteria, principles and purpose of theory appraisal and evaluation. The axiological dimension examines the concept of values in an Islamic economic system and how these values can be incorporated in both theory and policy prescriptions. The study concludes that genuine Islamic economics must proceed from a sound foundation/philosophy of Islamic economics and that more serious research should be undertaken in this area of research.
Islamic Economics
Author: Abul HassanPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 9780429432088
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
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 arises from the ethical foundations of the Qur'an and the Sunnah (tradition of the Prophet) along with learned exegeses in 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 show 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. 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.

Non-Western Educational Traditions
Author: Timothy G. ReaganPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135615667
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
This text provides a brief yet comprehensive overview of a number of non-Western approaches to educational thought and practice. Its premise is that understanding the ways that other people educate their children--as well as what counts for them as "education"--may help us think more clearly about some of our own assumptions and values, and to become more open to alternative viewpoints about important educational matters. The value of this informative, mind-opening text for preservice and in-service teacher education courses is enhanced by "Questions for Discussion and Reflection" and "Recommended Further Readings" included in each chapter. New in the Third Edition: *Chapter 2, "Conceptualizing Culture:" 'I, We, and The Other,' is new to this edition. It is a response to feedback about the problems inherent in our general discourse about "culture," and in addition provides an example of a culture that is near to us but nevertheless alien-the culture of the Deaf-World. *Chapter 9-which deals with Islam and traditional Muslim education-has been substantially revised. *The subtitle of the Third Edition has been changed to Indigenous Approaches to Educational Thought and Practice, reflecting not so much a change in the emphases found in the book, but rather, a recognition of the growing scholarly interest in indigenous peoples, their languages, cultures, and histories. *Various points throughout the text have been expanded and clarified, and chapters have been updated as needed.

It has attracted world-wide attention and scholars and researchers are endeavouring to explore all aspects of Islamic economics. Islamic economics is now taught as an academic discipline in the universities of Islamic countries. This bibliography consists of some 1600 entries in the English language, covering the last twenty years. Entries are drawn from published and unpublished sources, including books, articles, dissertations, theses and conference papers.

Book Description
This book, Toward Islamization of Disciplines, is a compilation of selected papers presented at the Third International Conference on Islamization of Knowledge, sponsored by the International Institute of Islamic Thought, in cooperation with the Ministry of Youth and Culture of Malaysia, July 26-31 1984 A.C. / 27th Shawwal -2nd Dhu al Qiddah 1404 A.H. This Conference, which attracted major leaders, educators and scholars from around the world, confirmed the growing appeal of the concept of "Islamization" among Muslim scholars; moreover it indicated that this concept has spread beyond the bounds of academia and has become the concern of peoples, institutions and governments. The selected papers, reproduced in this book, aptly reflect this historic trend. Some of the highlights offered in this book include a keynote address by Malaysia's Prime Minister, Dr. Mahathir Muhammad; a pioneering critique on Western Anthropology, Toward Islamic Anthropology, by Akbar Ahmad; a revealing exegesis of Western philosophy, The Balance Sheet of Western Philosophy in This Century, by Roger Garoudy; and 'AbdulHamid AbuSulayman's Concepts of Reconstruction: Methodology in Contemporary Muslim Thought (in Arabic). Both Muslim and non-Muslim scholars and researchers will find a wealth of thought-provoking ideas and concepts among these works.
