FIRST PRINCIPLES OF ISLAMIC ECONOMICS
₦22,000.00
First Principles of Islamic Economics collects together the major writings on Islamic Economics of Abul A’Iä Mawdüdi (1903-79), one of the leading Muslim intellectuals of the twentieth century. Written between the 1930s and the 1960s, Mawdüdi laid down the foundations of modern Islamic economic philosophy. Drawing upon the teachings of the Qur’än and the Sunnah, Mawdüdi spelled out the major elements of a new paradigm for economic analysis and policy, wherein economic pursuits take place in the context of moral values and are directed towards the achievement of personal and social objectives. The uniqueness of this approach lies in making efficiency and equity inseparable and interdependent. In an Islamic framework, the creation and distribution of wealth become instrumental in promoting individual and social well-being, enabling economics to open up pathways to development, social justice and human welfare. Khurshid Ahmad, who edited the Urdu original, Ma’äshiyat-i-lsläm, has contributed a new introduction to this authoritative English translation by Shafaq Hashemi.
