By on • ( Leave a comment )

The paper begins by addressing the post-colonial emergence of Islamic economics, which sought to establish an independent discourse based on interest-free commerce, moral behavioral norms eschewing self-interest, and the pursuit of social justice. Despite these ideal goals, the field has faced severe criticisms from scholars such as Prof. Timur Kuran, Prof. Akram Khan, and Prof. Syed Tahir for failing to develop a unique value set, an original methodology, or the analytical power necessary to solve modern economic problems.

In essence, it seeks to bridge the gap between faith and reason, presenting Islamic teachings in a modern and engaging way.
