Abstract The “Islamic economics" is used with different concepts. Is it possible to propose a proper application for Islamic economics? In the views of some experts, to be scientific Islamic economics is explicitly rejected in its positive meaning, which Ayatollah Muhammad Baqer al-Sadr is regarded as its eminent theorist. Some researchers believe that discovery of sequence of causes in the world of economy is not the duty of Islam. Nevertheless, some hints to causality aspects are occasionally observed in the Quran and Sunnah teachings. The exploration of demand and supply laws is the duty of economics. There is nothing so-called “economics”, according to the Sadr views, in the Quran and Sunnah doctorines. In Sadr’s opinion, the Islamic economics is not a science in non-Islamic settings, because humans’ behavior is not fully compatible with Islam, and even in the presence of the Fourteen Innocent Ones (PBUH), the result of economic behavior of people in an Islamic society does not mean Islamic economics. On the other hand, some scholars of Islamic economics believe that the scientific method with a logic limited to social sciences can be used in the Islamic economics field, thus Islamic economics as “the economics of Islamic societies” may classified as a subset of economics. Other researchers give the moderate comments. For the Islamic economics should not be considered synonymous with the mentioned views, it can be defined as a "research program" which includes different approaches to Islamic economics. This research is a descriptive and analytical one, which gathers data and materials by library and documentary study. The main question is “in which context of scientific and university system, the establishment and development of courses related to Islamic economics take place, even if it is defined as a "research program”? Which system is efficient? the current "Napoleonic and ideological training system" or “Humboldt educational system"? |
