Theorizing Islamic Economics : Search for a Framework for Islamic Economic Analysis M. Fahim Khan

The paper highlights the lack of strategic vision in Islamic economics. The author attributes this to not knowing “where we want to be”. This does not deny that currently there are several thoughts among Islamic economic scholars about what is Islamic economics. The author writes that his paper describes various positions of Islamic economists and suggests that it is time we select one of them as known destination and forget others. In fact this is no more than a claim only, because the paper has not in fact reviewed various methodological positions and approaches of Islamic economists. It has, however, displayed in detail the viewpoint of its author with respect to some important points in Islamic economics plus statements made or works of few other Islamic economists
