Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As most economists would agree, the major goal of economic development is to benefit humanity. However economic development without any moral, ethical, and social values will only enhance the process of material well-being without any true sense of direction. The theme of the Fourth International Islamic Economics seminar dealt with these aspects of economic development. The seminar, entitled "Economic Growth and Human Resource Development in an Islamic Perspective," was held during May 1992 and was a joint undertaking of the Association of Muslim Social Scientists (AMSS) and the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT). This volume is based on eight papers selected after a confidential peer review of all papers submitted or presented at the conference. The first four papers are theoretical and cover different aspects of human resource development from an Islamic perspective, whereas the last four papers discuss empirical evidence from some select Muslim countries.

Download or read book Economic Doctrines of Islam written by Irfan Ul Haq and published by International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT). This book was released on 1996 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Dr. Irfan Ul Haq examines the primary sources of Islam to extract and formalize from them the Islamic economic doctrines as well as the sociopolitical framework which guides the development of society. In particular, emphasis is placed on the problems of poverty, unemployment and lack of human resource development. What the study suggests is that if Islam is properly studied through an idealistic-rational integrated methodology and understood in its spirit and purposes, it reveals a core set of permanent values and principles that form the fixed dimension of Islam which then are applicable to virtually all human situations of society, polity and economy in all space-and-time. It is this in-built dynamism of Islam, demonstrated here with historical examples, that is utilized in approaching and providing solutions to contemporary economic problems and issues. Written for students of social science and economics and students of Islam. Economic Doctrines of Islam nevertheless addresses itself to all such individuals who are interested in seeking divine guidance in the realm of ethical social and economic development of human societies at large.
Download or read book Labor in an Islamic Setting written by Necmettin Kizilkaya and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Islamic labor market rests on the principles of the free market exchange of Islamic economics. Regrettably, the latter has failed to keep pace with the rapidly growing academic and professional developments of the former. Much of the published work within Islamic economics is idealistic if not radically ideological with little relevance to the Islamic labor market, leaving students of Islamic economics without a coherent body of economic theory to understand the practical objectives of Shariah that gives a sense of direction to the developments in this field. Drawing upon received sources of goals of Shariah, the authors present an independent academic work which: Emphasizes the common conceptual grounds of labor market behavior shared by the objectives of Shariah approach as well as the conventional approach to economics. Adopts standard tools of contemporary economics to explain the industrial relations. Extends the conventional scope of the labor market and forces of the labor market under the umbrella of Shariah. Enables readers and practitioners of Islamic economics to make economic sense of Shariah compliance and human resource development. Explains how the economics of Shariah is liable to offer moral guidance and a sense of direction to regulators and practitioners of the Islamic labor market. Labor in an Islamic Setting will be of interest to postgraduate students, academics, middle and senior management in both the western and the Islamic business communities, researchers and policy makers.

Download or read book Studies in Islamic Political Science written by M. Choudhury and published by Springer. This book was released on 1998-05-27 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a great revival of interest in recent years in the concerns of Islamic political economy after several hundred years of hiatus in its long history. The independence of Muslim countries and the revival of Islamic movements around the world have been among the factors encouraging new interest among the Muslims and others in how economies and economic theory can be brought into line with the Islamic vision of a just society. Masudul Alam Choudhury shows that the contribution which Islamic political economy can make requires a study first of epistemological principles, about the purpose and sources of knowledge, the role of reason and the relationship between self-and social-interest in human affairs. The conclusions which arise from this analysis - about the role and limits of markets, the goal of combining efficiency and equity and the means of doing so with state provision of welfare everywhere in crisis - will prove illuminating to all of those interested in Islamic studies and political economy as well as to other observers and analysts of contemporary society.
