    J.KAU: Islamic Econ., Vol. 23 No. 2, pp: 237-246 (2010 A.D./1431 A.H.) Muhammad Nejatullah Siddiqi Maqasid-e Shari`at (Objectives of the Shariah) Markazi Maktabah-e-Islami, New Delhi. 2009, 322 pp. Review by: Abdul Azim Islahi Islamic Economics Research Center King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia “Maqasid-e-Shariat” (Objectives of the Shariah) is the latest work by Prof. M.N. Siddiqi, first published by the Islamic Research Academy, Islamabad, and republished by the Markazi Maktabah-e-Islami, New Delhi. We have before us the one published from New Delhi. The subject of Objectives of Shariah has assumed utmost importance these days in the wake of numerous new issues faced by the Ummah in recent years. The Urdu language is spoken by a very large number of Muslim population and scholars in the world. But writings on this topic are very few in this Islamically rich language. Prof. Siddiqi seeks to fill this gap and wants to address those who master only this language. Since long time Dr. Siddiqi held that “envisioning Islamic economy in twenty-first century is better done with reference to goals of Islamic law. This will enable us to handle issues like poverty and inequality (observed in his Keynote Address on Islamic Economics: Current State of Knowledge and Development of the Discipline" delivered at the Round Table Discussion – Organized by IRTI during 26-27 May, 2004, Jeddah). He is of the view that there is need to differentiate between objectives of Islam as a way of life and objectives of Islamic jurisprudence.

  • Must Money Be Limited to Only Gold and Silver?: a Survey of Fiqhi Opinions and Some Implications(1)
    JKAU: Islamic Econ., Vol. 19, No. 1, pp: 21-34 (2006 A.D/1427 A.H) Must Money Be Limited to Only Gold and Silver?: A Survey of Fiqhi Opinions and Some Implications(1) MUHAMMAD ASLAM HANEEF and EMAD RAFIQ BARAKAT Associate Professor, Department of Economics International Islamic University Malaysia, and Assistant Professor Department of Islamic Economics and Banking Yarmouk University, Jordan ABSTRACT. This paper attempts to provide a survey into the issue of money in Islam. Specifically, it looks at the views of Muslim scholars (primarily past fiqh scholars), on whether money has to be limited to gold and silver or not and discusses some implications of the findings of this brief survey on present day opinions. In this connection it discusses some general points on gold and silver as money, from a historical and ‘contextual’ perspective, followed by some points that are agreed upon by the majority of scholars. It also compares the views of scholars who take the position that only gold and silver can be used as money and the evidences given to support their stand with the views of those who do not limit money to only gold and silver, together with their evidences. 1. Introduction The discussion of money is certainly as old as the economics discipline itself. Early definitions of the discipline were even focused on money/wealth while most measurements today in economics are based on some money value. In the years since the 1997/98 financial crisis, there has been a renewed interest in and perception popularised by some that the Islamic currency as sanctioned in the shari’ah is gold and silver.(2) The crisis created renewed interest in the discussions and debates on money, the monetary system and even calls for a new international financial architecture.

  • Commercial Partnership in Islām: a Brief Survey of Kitāb Al-Muḍārabah of Al-Mabsūṭ by Al-Sarakhsī
    TAFHIM Online © IKIM Press TAFHIM: IKIM Journal ofCommercial Islam and Partnership the Contemporary in Islam World 11 (2018): 79–111 Commercial Partnership in Islām: A Brief Survey of Kitāb al-Muḍārabah of al-Mabsūṭ by al-Sarakhsī Mohd. Hilmi Ramli* [email protected] Abstract Muḍārabah is a contract of profit-sharing known as partnership in capital and labour. Its concept and practices were notable in the history of Muslims specifically after its incorporation in the fiqh literatures that have spread to the entire education and economic institutions in the Muslim world. It combines two parties: those who have capital and those who are skilful in business to achieve a common economic objective underpinned by the Sharīʿah. This study analyses the work of al- Mabsūṭ by al-Sarakhsī (d. 483 A.H./1090 C.E.), an accomplished Hanafī jurist (fāqih) in the fifth/ eleventh century, pertaining to muḍārabah drawn from the analysis of the first chapter of the book titled Kitāb al-Muḍārabah. This study is significant as it fills the lacuna in the historiography of Islamic economic thought by focusing on al-Sarakhsī’s epistemic framework and definition of muḍārabah, as well as extending in its coverage from the individual * Zamalah UTM Recipient cum PhD candidate at the Centre for Advanced Studies on Islam, Science and Civilisation (CASIS), Technology University of Malaysia (UTM), Kuala Lumpur. 79 TAFHIM Online © IKIM Press Mohd Hilmi / TAFHIM 11 (2018): 79–111 to the institutional. It is a testimony of how Muslims conducted their economic activities based on the intellectual framework and moral guidance underlined by the Sharīʿah.

Al-Ghazali recognizes money as one of the most important inventions in conduct of the economic affairs. He offers a rather sophisticated discourse as to the evolution of money and its various functions. He explains how money overcomes the problems of barter system such as lack of a common denominator, indivisibility of good and the problem of double coincidence of wants. These ideas of al-Ghazali are almost identical to those found in contemporary texts. He condemns those who hoard money or convert them into other objects. He discusses the harmful effect of counterfeiting and currency debasement. However, he allows for the possibility of representative or token money.

FOREWORD The state of Muslim economic thinking in the tenth century Hijrah corresponding to sixteenth century CE has been an un-researched subject. It is a matter of great satisfaction for Islamic Economic Research Center to present a pioneering work in this area. There are many lessons to be learnt from the economic ideas of the great lights of the period. I am sure that the readers will find some of the chapters highly interesting and thought provoking. The present study underscores the thesis that mercantilism was a reaction against Muslim powers and investigates the factors that promoted mercantilism in the Christian West and the reasons why it did not find favor in the Muslim East. It informs us of many interesting examples of financial innovations adopted in this period in order to protect awqaf properties. It also tells us how those innovations were misused and corrective legal measures were imposed and bypassed subsequently. It deals with the legal issues in contracts and their settlements that arose due to unstable currency values and monetary mismanagement.
