Abstract: Muhammad bin Muhammad bin Khalil al-Asadi lived in A.H. 9th/ C.E. 15th century. The details of his birth, life and death remain obscure. He authored many works on the socio-economic problems of his time. All these works have disappeared without trace except one: al-Taysir (the Facilitation). This surviving work is the only source of information about his life and his ideas. He suggested efficient market administration, public distribution of food, elimination of monopolies, monetary reform, management of public income and expenditure, embryonic quantitative use in production and distribution, and measurement of inflation. The depth and significance of his ideas remains largely unexplored. The present paper attempts to address this need. محمد بن محمد بن خليل الأسدي عاش في القرن التاسع الهجري / س. القرن ال 15. تفاصيل ولادته ، والحياة والموت لا تزال غامضة. هو تأليف العديد من الأعمال حول المشاكل الاجتماعية والاقتصادية في عصره. الكل اختفت هذه المصنفات دون أثر واحد: التيسير تسهيل). هذا العمل الناجي هو المصدر الوحيد للمعلومات عن حياته وأفكاره. اقترح كفاءة السوق الإدارة والتوزيع العام للغذاء والقضاء على الاحتكارات ، الإصلاح النقدي وإدارة الإيرادات العامة والنفقات ، الاستخدام الكمي الجنيني في الإنتاج والتوزيع، و قياس التضخم. عمق وأهمية أفكاره لا يزال غير مستكشفة إلى حد كبير. تحاول هذه الورقة معالجة هذا بحاجة إلى.

Title: ECONOMIC THOUGHT OF AL-GHAZALI (450-505 A.H./1058-1111 C.E.) الفكر الاقتصادى للغزالي (450-505 هـ / 1058-1111 م.) Provider-Name: King Abdulaziz University, Islamic Economics Institute. Abstract: Al-Ghazali?s economics is anchored on five necessary Shari‘ah -mandated foundations of individual and social life: religion, life, family, property, and intellect. He focuses on the economic aspects of maslahah (social utility), distinguishing between necessities, comforts and luxuries. Subsistence living is inadequate but wealth too has its dangers. Both extravagance and miserliness are to be avoided, a middle course is recommended. The authors seek to reconcile between apparently contradictory views of al-Ghazali on wealth and (voluntary) poverty. Al-Ghazali?s insights on exchange, production, money, role of the state and public finances are reported. Al-Ghazali emphasizes ethical behavior in the market and regards production and supply of necessaries to be an obligatory duty. He condemns hoarding and lauds cooperation. Usury is rejected and justice, peace and stability are projected as preconditions of economic progress. يعتمد اقتصاد الغزالي على خمسة أسس شرعية مقيدة للحياة الفردية والاجتماعية: الدين ، الحياة ، العائلة ، الملكية ، والفكر. ويركز على الجوانب الاقتصادية لمصلحة (المنفعة الاجتماعية) ، التمييز بين الضروريات ، وسائل الراحة والكماليات. فعيش الكفاف غير كاف ، لكن الثروة أيضا لها مخاطرها. يجب تجنب كل من الإسراف والبذلة ، ويوصى بطبيعة الحال. يسعى المؤلفون إلى التوفيق بين وجهات النظر المتناقضة الظاهرة للغزالي حول الثروة والفقر (الطوعي). ووردت تقارير عن الغزالي حول التبادل والإنتاج والمال ودور الدولة والمالية العامة. يؤكد الغزالي على السلوك الأخلاقي في السوق ويتعلق بإنتاج وتوريد الضروريات كواجب إلزامي. يدين التكديس ويثني على التعاون. الربا مرفوض والعدالة والسلام والاستقرار هي شروط مسبقة للتقدم الاقتصادي.

Abstract: The title "Muhammad Hamidullah's Pioneering Works on Islamic Economics" must be a surprise for many who know him only as expert on Islamic international law, biographer of the Prophet, translator of the Qur'an in French language, …….. and one who discovered and edited many valuable Arabic manuscripts of early Islamic period. I experienced this reaction during preparation of this work. Whenever, I mentioned to my friends, colleagues, and even experts of the discipline that I had been working on Dr. Hamidullah's papers on Islamic economics, most of them questioned with great surprise: "Had he contributed to Islamic economics?" In fact he was one of the pioneer writers on the subject and one who coined the term "Islamic Economics" by which this discipline is known worldwide today. Many firsts in this subject belong to him. For instance: the first and the earliest record of the interest-free financial institution in the modern period, advocacy of mutuality as the basis for Islamic insurance, mutuality based Islamic finance, proposal for establishment of international interest-free monetary fund, federation of currencies for Muslim countries, to name a few.

Abstract: More than seventy-five years have passed since writing on Islamic economic thought began in the modern period. But these works do not cover the period after the 9th AH/15th CE century. In the present work an effort has been made to investigate the state of Muslim economic thinking in the tenth century Hijrah corresponding sixteenth century CE. This period occupies great significance in the world history. In the sixteenth century the Ottomans consolidated their rule in parts of Europe and took over the custodianship of the Holy lands of Islam by abolishing the two and half a century old Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt. The beginning of century also saw the establishment of a new dynasty – Safawids – in Iran and the Mughal dynasty in India. In Europe it marked the 'first phase' of early modern era. It was a time when renaissance was already in full swing and social reform, scientific inquiry and economic thinking and institutions were taking new shapes. This situation brought both challenges and opportunities to Muslim world. However, the balance of economic potential and technological scope moved progressively in Europe's favour.

Abstract: he present study reports and analyzes economic ideas of Muslim scholars upto the end of 9th/15th century. It also discusses various channels through which their ideas reached the European West and influenced the scholastic scholars. Thus, they formed the connecting link between Greek philosophers and scholastic economists and became one of the ancestors of modern economics and part of its family tree. The paper addresses students and historians of economic thought. It provides materials that could be used to make up existing deficiency – the great gap – in the literature on the history of economic thought. It also aims to provide support for those who are in search of common grounds in sciences and culture for mutual understanding and inter-civilization dialogue. The contributions of Muslim scholars to economic thought and analysis have been briefly noted and lengthy quotations have been avoided to enlist and accommodate maximum number of scholars. I have adopted an eclectic approach in this study and hope that this would generate curiosity among the readers to further investigate and carry deep and detailed study of the works of past scholars. It may also draw their attention to the works of Muslim scholars in later centuries that largely remain unexplored.

Abstract: The present study explores the state of Muslim economic thinking in the 12th century Hijrah (corresponding to the 18th century of the Christian era). During this period decaying forces in the great Muslim civilization speeded up and Western colonization of Muslim lands began. At the same time, some sort of awakening, soul-searching and efforts at renovation by Islamic thinkers was also initiated. Yet, to date, the state of Muslim economic thinking during this century has remained unexplored. To fill this lacuinae, three dynamic and revolutionary personalities of the period, namely, Muhammad b. Abd al-Wahhab, Uthman dan Fodio and Shah Wali-Allah al-Dihlawi, have been selected for study. At the outset, an overview of the Muslim history of the period has been presented so as to set a proper perspective for the study. In particular, the study takes note of the religious, socio-political and intellectual renovating efforts of these three scholars. Each is discussed under the headings: Times and environment, Life and work, Economic ideas, and Impact. These scholars were born into three different regions of the Muslim world and brought about a revolution in thinking and action. While investigating the economic ideas of Muslim scholars of 12th/18th century the focus has been on the economic thought of Shah Wali-Allah al-Dihlawi; this is because he had considerably more to offer in this area. The study concludes with an evaluation and comparison of his economic ideas and those of his predecessors and contemporaries.

Abstract: This is a book about products, processes and mechanisms that are in use in the Islamic financial services industry. The text also focuses on how financial products and services should be designed and offered in this industry, given the need for full Shariah compliance. Instead of presenting facts and figures that quickly become obsolete, the text describes how financial products and processes develop as solutions to problems and as responses to profit opportunities and need for Shariah compliance. The distinctive feature of this book is presentation of the products and services in the form of flow charts and blue prints that facilitate conceptual clarity and greatly simplify the learning process. For each product, the text provides a blue print that helps differentiate between conventional and Islamic products. All sensitive issues related to Shariah compliance are presented as “Issues in Product Management”.
