Abstract

This chapter immerses us in the philosophical foundations of Islamic economics. This chapter aims to offer readers a non-technical introduction to Islamic economics, exploring its core principles and foundational aspects. By shedding light on these principles, we gain a comprehensive understanding of the distinctive approach of Islamic economics. The chapter also delves into key economic instruments that put these principles into action. While not a deep economic analysis, this chapter serves as a foundational starting point for those seeking insight into this dynamic field.
