PREFACE This is the third volume of annotated bibliography. The Islamic Foundation at Leicester (UK) published the first two volumes in 1983 and 1991 respectively. The researchers and economists found these volumes quite useful in their academic work. I have received frequent inquiries from scholars and researchers about the status of volume three of the book. In fact, these inquiries have been a stimulus to me for continuing this work during the last eight years. The present book , as its two previous volumes, contains an annotated description of each entry, which makes it a distinctive contribution as compared to several other highly valuable bibliographies. During the last few years several bibliographies on Islamic economics have appeared. To the extent of their coverage, they are much more comprehensive than the present work. But they provide a list of publications. The task of annotating each entry , despite being a merit, has a limitation as well. I had to procure each item in this volume, read it and summarise it. It makes the whole job very cumbersome and slow. The size of this volume, naturally is, conditioned by the speed with which I could procure, read and summarise the documents. Now that I am venturing to publish this volume, I have collected another set of documents which when annotated will be good for another volume. But for fear of delaying the whole thing too much, I have decided to bring out the third volume with about 650 entries. This is about the size of each of the first two volumes. A quick survey of the contents of the book will show that, like in the past, interest and interest-free financial institutions have been focus of most of the research. Other areas such as statistical information or research in environment and ecology from Islamic perspective have been quite nominal. In the present volume, I have modified the classification system slightly to incorporate some new areas of research. Similarly, the subject index is much more elaborate than the first two volumes. I hope these modifications will be more useful to the future researchers. Muhammad Akram Khan 31 December 1997

The two widely used paradigms of Individualism and Collectivism are not appropriate for Islamic social science on account of secularism of the former and scientific atheism of the latter. Argues in favour of a moral explanation of human behaviour and social processes. There is an immediate need to construct a distinguishable paradigm of its own. For social scientists. Based on primary sources. Documented. 011:2 ALI, AUSAF, "In Defence of and a Plea for IslamicEconomics" , Universal Message, Karachi, (12:1) June '90, Pp.13-21 Rejoinder to Javed Akbar Ansari on his paper "Poverty of Islamic Economics' (Universal Message, Feb '90). Argues that the literature produced on Islamic economics is rich enough to allow us to believe that Islamic economics is a separate discipline in its own right. However, there is a need to develop a well-argued and rigorous theory of Islamic economics. For economists. Undocumented. 011:3 ALIYU, CHIKAR UMAR, "Fiqh al-Mu'amalat and the Need for Islamic Economics: A Clarification of Misconception," Lights on Islamic Economics, Malaysia, (2:2) Mar.'92, Pp.41-47. Distinguishes between Islamic law and Islamic economics. Islamic economics studies the human behaviour in the light of Islamic law. Therefore, we need to develop Islamic economics as a separate discipline from the law. For Muslim economists.

Capitalism and Socialism have failed to achieve even the material objectives set by these systems. The reason is that their worldview and strategy are opposed to each other. Analyses at length the weakness of the basic assumptions of these systems. Argues that Islamic economic system is the need of the day as its worldview and strategy are in line with each other. Shows how 5


Islamic economic principles promote growth with equity and efficiency. Persuasive. Analytical. Based on primary sources. Documented. 012-Nature of Islamic Economics 012:1 AGIL, S.OMAR S., "Rationality in Economic Theory: A Critical Appraisal," Journal of Islamic Economics, Malaysia, (2:2) July '89, Pp.79-94 Reviews the concept of rationality in neoclassical and classical economics. Critically evaluates this concept and finds it unsatisfactory. Introduces the concept of Islamic rationality and shows that the Islamic concept is more satisfactory. Stresses the need to replace the rationality assumption in economic theory by Islamic rationality. Uses diagrams and mathematics. For economists. Based on primary sources. Documented. 012:2 ALI, AUSAF, "Social Sciences in the 20th Century and Beyond: An Islamic Perspective," Hamdard Islamicus, Karachi, (XV:3) Autumn'92, Pp.47-84. The social science as developed in the West mark the ascendancy of human reason over dogma. But the social sciences have failed to solve the key questions of social theory. The key question of social theory is to find an ideal relationship between individual and society. This is not possible by merely using human reason. It requires the help of knowledge obtained through revelation.The Muslims can play a vital role in developing this theory. But they should learn from the theory of knowledge developed by the West. The analysis of social reality, the reliance on facts and objectivity are the cornerstones of Western contribution towards human knowledge. The Muslims must pay heed to what the humanity has gained through the ages. Philosophical. For social scientists. Based on primary and secondary sources. Documented. 012:3 ANWAR, MUHAMMAD, "Islamic Economic Methodology" in Faridi, F.R., Essays in Islamic Economic Analysis, New Delhi: Genuine Publications, 1991, Pp.13-36. Outlines Islamic criteria for validating economic theories and models. Proposes an approach for Islamizing economics. Suggests a process whereby the discipline of Islamic economics can grow through empirical investigations and improvements in the Islamic theories and economic practices of an Islamic society. Analytical. For economists only. Documented. 012:4 CHOUDHURY, M. A., "Contemporary Islamic Economic Thought," Muslim Education Quarterly, Cambridge, (8:1) Autumn '90, Pp.40-49. A rebuttal to S. Behdad's paper ("Property Rights In Contemporary Islamic Thought: A Critical Perspective," Review of Social Economy, Vol XLVII:2, Summer '89). Argues that Behdad's paper is an incorrect representation of the nature and scope of Islamic economic theory. Based on his previous papers, shows that there exists a persuasive economic theory of Islam which 6


is distinct from neo-classical and socialist theory. For professional economists. Based on primary sources. Documented. 012:5 CHOUDHURY, M. A., "Islam, Economics and Society by S.N. H. Naqvi: A Critical Review, " Hamdard Islamicus, Karachi, (XVIV:1) Spring '96, Pp.99-122. A critical review of S.N.H.Naqvi's book of the same title. Argues that the book has not brought out any new insights. It is a reproduction of the author's earlier writings. On its own merit, it is deeply embedded in the neoclassical framework and does not make any original contribution. For economists only. Based on primary sources of Islam and modern economics.

International

Develops a crtitique of the Western economic concept of the emergence of social sciences. The western concept of social sciences owes its origin to the dichotomy between the spiritual matters and scientific enquiry. It excludes considerations of ethics. However, recently some writers have realized the need for integrating ethics into economics. Islamic economics is a social science and incorporates ethical concepts based on the faith in Tawhid. The four basic principles are prohibition of interest, zakah, prohibtion of israf and equitable distribution of resources. These concepts are interactive and reinforce each other. A scholarly paper. Meant for economists. Based on primary sources and contemporaty economic literature. Documented. 012:7 HOSSEINI, HAMID, "From Homo Economicus to Homo Islamicus:The Universality of Economic Science Reconsidered," London: Macmillan, 1992, Pp.103-116. Chapter four of Modern Capitalism and Islamic Ideology in Iran by Cyrus Bina and Hamid Zangeneh (eds.). The basic assumptions, scope and approach of economics are too narrow to accommodate the conditions of Muslim countries. Islamic economics is rooted in different behavioural norms. It criticises the homo economicus of neoclassical economics and gives the concept of homo Islamicus who is motivated more by altruistic motives rather than selfish motives. Islamic economics uses the tools of neoclassical economics but it has also developed its own analytical tools. The theory of riba is unique to Islamic economics. Islamic banking is evolving on the basis of this theory. Islamic fiscal theory is also unique as it focuses on zakah. The deificiency of Islamic economics is that it seems to be utopian. Analytical. For economists. Based on primary and secondary sources. Documented. 012:8 KHAN, M. AKRAM, An Introduction to Islamic Economics, Islamabad: International Institute of Islamic Thought, 1994, 150Pp Gives an overview of Islamic economics. Discusses need and nature of Islamic economics. Covers methodology and scope of Islamic economics. Asserts that Islamic economics can play a vital role in the future. Argues that Islamic economics is the economics of the future. Gives a 7


select bibliography. For economists. Based on primary sources. Documented. 012:9 MANEEF, M.A. BIN M., Intellectual Parameters of Contemporary Islamic Economic Thought and Policy: A Malaysian Case Study, 1994, 340Pp.. Unpublished. Ph.D. thesis. University of East Anglia, U.K. The nascent discipline of Islamic economics has within its domain a whole array of opinions on virtually all contemporary economic problems and issues. Islamic economics can be analysed from the interpretations of the central concept of khilafah. This concept can be interpreted either with reference to the individual or humanity. Each interpretation has its own implications. Carries out a case study of Malaysia within the central concept and its interpretations. Shows how it has led to two different economic programs of the two main Muslim parties since 1981. For economists. Based on primary sources. Documented. 012:10 RASHID, SALIM, "Islamic Economics: A Historic-inductive Approach," Journal of Islamic Banking and Finance, Karachi, (6:1) Jan.'89, Pp.33-43. Values have a necessary role in guiding an economy. There is a widespread imposition of values under the mask of neutrality. The rise of Europe during 13-19th centureis owes a lot to Christianity. Christian ethics made people inquisitive, hard-working, and sacrificing. They earned extra money to donate to others. Devout christian leaders and pious people played an active role in improving the social conditions of the poor in their respective times. The contemporary Western education proclaims to be secular. But in fact, it suppresses the ideological aspects. The Muslims should understand the roots of Western knowledge which lie in the values of Christianity. They should pick up from these values to develop Islamic economics. Philosophical. For economists. Based on primary sources. Documented. 012:11 RASHID, SALIM, "An Agenda for Muslim Economists: A Historic-Inductive Approach," Journal of King Abdulaziz University: Islamic Economics, Jeddah, (3) 1991, Pp.45-54. The preoccupation of Islamic economists with deductive approach should be moderated by a greater recourse to induction, especially in discussing the role of values in economic system. Values have played an important role in the Christian West in the past, not withstanding the current advocacy of moral relativism. Values permeate the contemporary body politic as they did in the past. An empirical approach will, therefore, broaden the scope of Islamic economics and increase its interaction with others. Philosophical. For economists.

The post-modernist awakening of Islam after its long slumber as an active intellectual force, requires fundamental reconstruction. Islamic awakening in the framework of Qur'anic epistemology is yet to attain its revolutionary heights. The evolution of the Shari'ah is to be guided by the unique epistemology, and all disciplines of thought emanating from it must revolve around conscious effort to Unifying Epistemology of tawhidi precepts. Gives a number of policy prescriptions to put these ideas into practice. For social scitists and philosophers only.

It is an analytical evaluation of Islamic economic teachings and research in Iranian universities. Thinks that Islamic economics must not be considered as simply a review of orthodox Islamic literature. A dynamic equilibrium between the standard academic curricula in modern economics and the traditional studies in Islamic economics. A non-scieitific approach to Islamic economics can be most weakening. The Muslim universities and research institutes should cooperate for the development of Islamic economics. For Muslim economists.

Presented to the Fourth International Islamic Economic Seminar on 16-17 May 1992 at the World Bank. Develops a two-sector, two-factor general equilibrium model of a small country. Shows that an increase in uncertainty over the future prices of exportables leads to resources moving from the uncertainty sector to the sector facing certainty. An increase in uncertainty about terms of trade causes a decline in the cost of borrowing in the exportable sector and a rise in workers' income in the importable sector. The relationship between national income and the uncertainty over the terms of trade depends completely on the zakah payment. Mathematical. For economists only. Documented. 021:2 CHOUDHURY, M. A., "An Islamic Econometric Model for Malaysia with Policy Implications," Journal of Economic Cooperation Among Islamic Countries, Ankara, (10) 1989, Pp.23-53. Develops a macroeconomic model for Malaysia for the period 1970-85, with the view of estimating the effects of some major economic indicators on the product market, labour market, financial sector and the consumption and investment functions. The model system is reworked with critical Islamic indicators, such as, zakah expenditure and the profit rate replacing interest rate. Corresponding estimates are then obtained and the macroeconomic results interpreted statisitcally and within the Keynesian type econometric framework. The results of these estimates are used to formaute policies under the Islamic economic principles. Mathematical. For economists only. Based on primary sources. Documented. 021:3 METWALLY, M. M., "Equilibrium in the Commodity and Money Markets in an Islamic Economy with Zero Rate of Interest," Journal of Islamic Banking and Finance, Karachi, (9:4) Oct. '92, Pp.12-25. Argues that Islamic economies where the rate of interest is zero, equilibrium can be achieved in both the commodity market and the money market provided that the Muslim authorities are prepared to impose a tax on cash balances at rates which vary according to economic situations. These dues should be imposed in addition to, not in lieu of, zakah, whose rates and objects of disbursement cannot be changed. The proposed dues on idle assets would result in more effective economic policies. 13

Documented. 021:4 MIRAKHOR, ABBAS, "Equilibrium in a Non-Interest Open Economy," Journal of King Abdulaziz Universit: Islamic Economics, Jeddah, (5) 1993, Pp.3-24. Analyzes an economy in which there are no interest-bearing assets, only equity shares. Equilibrium conditions are derived for the case of a closed economy, an open economy with trade in goods only, and finally one with trade in both goods and equity shares. It is shown that the rate of return to capital equilibriates savings and investment, that the differential between the domestic and foreign rates of return to equity determines the direction of capital flows, and that under a fixed exchange rate system, adjustments induced by exchange rate are channeled through the asset accounts. Mathematical. For economists. Uses standard macroeconomic equilibrium analysis tools. Documented. 021:5 TAHIR, SAYYID, "Towards a Theory of Aggregate Output, Income, and Economic Inequalities Determination in an Islamic Economy," Journal of Islamic Economics, Malaysia, (2:2), July '89, Pp.95-108. In the context of a closed economy, analyses the determination of the levels of aggregate output and income associated with the current production process and the degree of income inequalties in an Islamic economy. Adopts a four-way classification: producers, consumers, investors, and government. The main finding is that equilibrium levels of aggregate output, income and economic inequalities in an Islamic economy would depend upon, among other things, on three factors: the level of autonomous expenditures, the distribution of income among the poor and the rich, and the output-and-wealth-related zakah flows.

TAHIR, "A Zero Efficiency Loss Monopolist: An Islamic Perspective," American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences , Herndon,VA, (7:2) Sept '90, Pp.219-232. In an Islamic environment, the behviour of a single seller is different from that of a pure monopolist. His ultimate objective is not to maximize profit but to please Allah. Profit is only one of his motives. Therefore, he is expected to be ready to sacrifice part of his profits for the social good if and when the social priorities so require. Formulates the problem in its deterministic setting and derives the optimally necessary conditions. Also examines the case of a family of utilities of the Cobb-Douglas form. Analytical. Mathematical.

Pp.25-46. Makes a critical review of the conventional classification of factors of production. Presents a new classification based on the modes of payments for them in the Islamic framework. Enterpreneurial and hired factors of production are then described and their demand and supply conditions discussed in the context of equilibrium in the labour market. Analytical. Uses diagrams. For economists. Documented. 022:3 RUSHDI, ALI AHMED, "Monopoly in Islam: A Case for Cross Subsidization," Thoughts on Economics, Dhaka, (8:1) Winter '87, Pp.38-62. Presents a model where monopoly appears to be more desirable compared to a competitive situation. Argues that the model is applicable only in case of natural monopolies. Concludes that although different in connotation, the demand curve under conventional system will look like the familiar demand curve under conventional system. Advocates for a cross-subsidy among the consumers which can help not only the poor get some of their necessities at a reasonable price but also make the commodity available even to the rich. Uses graph. For economists. Based on contemporary literature on economic analysis. 022:4 SADEQ, A.H.M., "Factor Pricing and Income Distribution," Thoughts on Economics, Dhaka, (8:3&4) 1987, Pp.37-58. Thinks that productive materials should be treated as a factor of production under the Islamic scheme. Pricing for factors of production follows the twin principles of justice and scarcity. The wage rate will lie in between the marginal and average products. Same is true about the productive materials. The prices of capital and enterpreneurship are determined simultaneously. These two factors receive the residual income after paying for all other factors of production. Enterpreneurship does not bear the risk of loss in capital. Uses graphs. For economists.

Documented. 022:5 SATTAR, ZAIDI, "The Ethics of Profits in the Islamic Economic System: A Socioeconomic Analysis," The Islamic Quarterly, London, (XXXII:1) Jan '88, Pp.69-76. Argues that although Islam does not oppose profit within a free enterprise system, it imposes a moral limit on what an enterpreneur can take as profit. In general, the Islamic norms recommend normal profit and restrain from monopolositic profits. In other word, Islam accepts profit but not profiteering. For economists. Analytical. Uses diagrams.

FAKHRUL, "Some Issues on the Promotion and Mobilization of Savings Through Islamic Bank, " Thoughts on Economics, Dhaka, (8:2) Summer '87, Pp.25-34. Studies the experience of Pakistan and Iran in Islamic banks and finds that these countries 15


could not moblize enough savings as they were deficient in financial infrastructure and trained staff. Rate of savings can rise if the Muslim countries attend to these institutional problems. For general readers. Based on contemporary literature on economics. Documented. 023:2 ANSARI, M. I., "A Critique of an Interdependent Welfare Function in an Islamic Society," Humanomics, Nova Scotia, (7:2), 1991, Pp.71-81 Defines an interdependent welfare function and shows that welfare implications of such a function in modern socieities can be quite perverse. Examines the welfare foundations of an Islamic society through a simple model. Shows that such a society provides an atmosphere in which individual action becomes consistent with social objectives. It also provides an effective mechanism to control and regulate desired level of consumption by controlling human aspirations. Mathematical. Analytical. For economists only. Documented. 023:3 BASHIR, ABDEL-HAMEED, & ALI F. DARRAT, "Equity Participation Contracts and Investment: Some Theoretical and Empirical Results," American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences, Herndon, VA., (9:2) Summer '92, Pp.219-232. Constructs an equilibrium theoretical model of investment under the general principle of a profit-sharing arrangement. The analysis is conducted in a noncooperative game framework in which the project participants have different information. Each attempts to maximise his/ her own lifetime utility based on the information they have received. Two alternative games are examined: Counrnot and Stackleberg. The resultant theoretical model is then tested using quarterly data from the Kuwait Finance House, a profit-sharing investment bank. Among a number of possible investment determinants, the model highlights the effect of the profit-sharing ratio and the amount of internal finance on investment. The empirical results confirm the theoretical model. The profit-sharing ratio stimulates investment. For economists. Mathematical. Documented. 023:4 DARRAT, ALI F., "Towards Abolishing the Rate on Interest in Contemporary Islamic Societies," Journal of King Abdulaziz University : Islamic Economics , Jeddah, (5) 1993, Pp.39-49. A critical review of M.M. Metwally's paper with the same title published in Vol.2 of the same journal, (1990). Based on the data of Pakistan, Libya and Morrocco, points out that the analysis and conclusions drawn by Metwally are imprecise and incorrect. The main conclusion of this paper is that the rate of interest does play an important role in the demand for money. Therefore, the laws in the Muslim countries need to be changed to usher in an Islamic economy. Econometricial. For economists only. Documented. 023:5 GHANNADIAN, FARHAD, & JOHN J.

Comments on Mohsin S. Khan's paper (IMF Staff paper no.33, 1986) that the inference about greater stability of the financial system in the Islamic framework does not hold good in developing countries. The developing countries do not have well-developed financial markets. If we abolish interest from the formal banking sector there will be a diversion of loanable funds to the informal financial sector.

Presents an investment model within the framework of an integrated macroeconomic model of an Islamic economy. Investment behaviour in the model is guided by an Islamic ethical value system and profit-sharing financial contracts. The typical firm's investment decision is believed to emerge from a dynamic inter-temporal maximization exercise within an infinite time horizon. The method of Calculus of Variations is applied to arrive at the optimal investment and employment criteria for the firm. The result is then incorporated into a macroeconomic model to study the behaviour of key endogenous variables like national income and the rate of profit-share. Comparative statics exercised within a general equilibrium framework reveal the potency of monetary policy but the neutrality of fiscal policy with respect to output and employment. For economists.

Attempts to provide a macroeconomic foundation for an Islamic system which replaces the institution of interest by different types of profit and loss sharing musharaka and mudaraba. By using a log 18


utility function and a power production function, shows that investment is higher in the sharing case compared to the traditional interest system.

Using an overlapping generation model, studies the nature of profit sharing economy based on Islamic modes of finance and compares it with the one based on interest, under various scenarios. The analysis shows that the level of investment would be higher under mudarabah financing than under interest financing both in the case of certainty and uncertainty. The second major finding of the paper is that the level of investment under mudarabah financing is independent of the profit sharing ratio. Also discusses the pattern of distribution under the two systems but concludes the the model does not give unambiguous results with respect to the relative shares of borrowers and lenders in the profit.

The consultative democratic process ( shura) defines the determination of both state variables (socioeconomic variables) and policy variables and the simulative interaction between them. These variables configure the consumption, production, and distribution menus in an Islamic political eeconomy.

9035059. Seeks to determine the relevance of modern social choice theory for an Islamic society. Western social choice theory takes its analytical point of departure from the individual and the way he or she chooses. Social choice must somehow represent individual choice. Establishes that the individual is central in the Islamic society. Therefore, the selection among social choices must represent individual choices. Hence Western social choice theory directly applies. Examines the possibility of constructing a social welfare function in an Islamic community with an additional axiom known as "Islamically Imposed". This additional axiom provides for general consistency with the Islamic teachings. Concludes when the choice set constrains alternatives the the individual must do (wajib) or must not do ( haram), the former will be chosen and the latter will never be chosen. If these elements are not in the choice set, then the Western social choice theory applies in a straightforward manner. Mathematical. For economists.

The Muslim social scientists should systematise the economic theory of the Islamic society. If they cannot do this, they will not be able to develop social and political theories of Islamic society. The proper course of action will be to base the Islamic social sciences on the epistemic authority of Islamic culture. We must interpret a new the teachings of Islam and decide for ourselves through a process of consensus formation, what is socially, economically and politically feasible and achievable. We should seek to join the abstract scholarship of the ulema and jurists to the task of providing a practical guidance to Islamic social reconstruction.

Reviews earlier attempts at formulating a humanisitic political economy. Establishes a principle of Ethical Endogeneity which shows that society maximizes its social welfare through consensus among decision-makers with the choice of goals and policy variables. In the Islamic economy these goals and policies are uniquely set by the shari'ah. The principle of tawhid and brotherhood, of work and productivity and that of distributive equity characterize the Islamic economy which realises these goals through zakah, abolition of interest and profit-sharing.

A., "A Critique of Modernist Synthesis in Islamic Thought: Special Reference to Political Economy," The American Journal Of Islamic Social Sciences, Herndon,VA, (11:4) Winter '94, Pp .475-503. As with former Muslim rationalists who copied classical Greek thought into an Islamic synthesis and thus distorted the unique essence of the Qur'anic worldview, modern Islamic scholarship appears to be moving into the same form of blind imitation of the West. As a result, no authentic Islamic scholarship has arisen and there remains a methodological contradiction between reality and perception of the Muslim scholars. There is a need to unify the epistemology in the light of unity of God. Scholalry. For Muslim social scientists.

Islamic economics must grow from the realities of the socio-economic conditions. It should not be construed as a variant of traditional economics. It should make a selective use of the traditioanl economics. Islamic economics should systhesise values relevant to total human behaviour and should not restrict itself to mere economic values. The basic framework of Islamic economics ensues from the Qur'an and hadith but its superstructure is based on empirical investigation and induction. Conceptual. For Muslim economists.

Discusses theory building in Islamic social sciences. Argues for an alternative social science framework based on the Islamization paradigm, which could integrate both empirical and nonempirical elements of behaviour into a united system of explanation. Exploring the possibility of using knowledge derived from revelation as a major source in the process of theory building, encourages the Muslim social scientists to draw upon rich insights derived from transcendental sources, but only after subjecting the resulting propositions to stringent verification. This new model rejects unwarranted dogmatism, unwarranted exclusiveness, and a parochiality that shuns anything that comes from non-Muslims. The Muslim social scientists will have to reorient their critical approach to their disicplines and also acquire a better understanding of the religious sciences: revealed knowledge. This would ensure a Muslim contribution in the social sciences, a contribution that disappeared during centuries of stagnation. 26

The common concept that secular economics is value-free is a misnomer. Similarly, the concept that the Islamic economics is all normative is also incorrect.

Argues that Muhammad's message, besides its spiritual significance, also focussed in building such institutions as would support the merchant class of his days. Islam mobilised the merchant capital to reach the surrounding regions, and it were institutions within Islam which carried the appropriated wealth back to Medina and the rest of Hijaz. The rapid expansion of Islamic state after the Prophet was due to the fact that the merchant class, which now had the political power as well, resorted to expand its market. Islam's supportive institutions helped them. With the expansion of Islam, new members were being recruited to the rank of the wealthy. But the distribution of wealth was more in favour of the old segment. As a result, tension between the old and the new segments was built up, which led to the murder of caliph Uthman. Ultimately, during the Umayyad's rule, the old segment prevailed. But the Abbasides turned the tide and integrated other sections of the society in the power base. The distinctive features of Islamic history is that a merchant-capitalist society transformed into a feudal society, with the decline of Abbasides. It is the other way round in Europe.

Considers tax-farming as practised in medieval Egypt, Moghul India and the Ottoman empire as a means of resource allocation in an interest-free economy. Using the material from Turkish archives shows that the system worked by giving signals to the state as to the relative profitability of the various sectors of the economy. In making these bids, the tax farmers were guided by the expected rates of return in the relevant sectors. Changing profit expectations caused geographical and sectoral shifts of resources. The paper places the historical discussion into perspective by making a brief review of contemporary literature on resource allocation in a modern interest-free Islamic economy. It alos notes some negative aspects of the practice of tax-farming. Historical. Based on primary sources.

After a brief foreward, describing Andalusian history and its dual status as both an integrated region of the Muslim world and a border territory at the edge of the Islamic west, the dissertation consists of six chapters. Chapter one delineates historiography as a field, and discusses problems and research methodology. The next three chapters (II-IV) form the core of the thesis, devoted respectively to routes of trade, and different merchant groups involved in trade and commodities. Chapter V explores the role of Andalus ruler in international trade and the concluding chapter draws this data together, and examines Andalusian commercial patterns in the context of the wider Mediterranean world.

044:3 CONSTABLE, OLIVIA, Trade and Traders in Muslim Spain, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1994, 320Pp. Surveys the Iberian international trade from the tenth to the fifteenth century, with particular emphasis on commerce in the Muslim period and on changes brought by the Chrisitian conquest of much of Muslim Spain (al-Andalus) in the thirteenth century. From the tenth to the thirteenth century, markets in the Iberian peninsula were closely linked to markets elsewhere of the Islamic world, and a strong east-west Mediterranean trading network linked 30


Cairo with Cordoba. Following routes along the North Africa coast, Muslim and Jewish merchants carried eastern goods to Muslim Spain, returning eastwards with Andalusi exports. Situated at the edge of the Islamic west, Andalusi markets were also emporia for the transfer of commodities between the Islamic world and Chrisitian Europe. After the 13th century the Iberian peninsula became part of the European economic sphere, its commercial realignment aided by the opening of the straits of Gibraltar to Chrisitian trade, and by the contemporary demise of the Muslim trading network in the Mediterranean.

It does not recognize the difference between positive and normative economics. Islamic economic analysis starts with the family as a basic unit. The firm in an Islamic economy does not respond to the individual needs of the owners. It takes into account the needs of the society. The given supply curve of the capitalist society does not reflect the objectives of the Islamic economy. The law of dimishing marginal utility comes in conflict with the shari'ah. The theories of marginal propensity to consume and save and marginal productivity of wages are also not value-neutral. The doctrine of backward-bending supply curve of labour clashes with the Islamic concept of social justice. The Pareto criteria of welfare does not take into account the question of distribution.

Suggests a new categorization of the theories of value along new lines of analysis of the notion of value. Argues that there is no systematic analysis of the theory of value in Islamic law or economics, and examines the concepts directly related to the notion of value in the Qur'an, Hadith, and Islamic law. - such as interest, profit, returns, ownership, risk, partnership. From these, develops a valuational and philosophical understanding of the nature of value implicitly present in the Islamic system of thought. Derives the economic theory that would correspond to them, and compares it to the theories surveyed earlier. The conclusion examines some implications of this study on the notion of alienation and the understanding of the nature of economic methodology. 32

Islam aims at changing this world for the better but unlike marxism it makes it a religious obligation for everyone. Unlike marxism, Islam blends the spiritual with the material.

E., "A Qur'anic Model for a Universal Economic Theory," Journal Of King Abdul University: Islamic Economics, Jeddah, (3) 1991, Pp.3-41. Outlines a universal Qur'anic economic theory that integrates orthodox economics based on utility maximization as the guiding principle of rational choice, and a new economics based on the maximization of iman as the guiding principle of choice for a rational Muslim. Both principles are shown to be Qur'anic principles that lie at the heart of the Master Plan of Creation (MPC) which depicts God's purpose behind the creation of man and the universe that surrounds him, as well as the basic elements involved in realizing this divine purpose. It is through the unfolding of this divine MPC that the fundamental role of economics in the design of God for man becomes apparent. The universal Qur'anic paradigm is distinguished by its explanatory power, the decisive role it assigns to the moral individual as the kernel of the Islamic economy, its emphasis on man's salvation, and its far reaching implications for Islamic economics with respect to its theoretical principles, methodology, institutions and policy.

There is a declining interest in Islamic economics by the general public. This is welcome as Islamic economics is mostly an exercise in apologetics, and an attempt to reform capitalism. It has subverted the Islamic social movements. Islamic economics is conceptually sterile and politically barren. Islamic economics cannot help political parties in fighting capitalism i.e. provide a system whereby the quest for material progress does not dominate individual and social life. For economists.

Chapter 5 titled "The Islamic Economic System" reviews theory and practice of Islamic economics. Argues that it is very difficult to distinguish Islamic economic system from any other system. For example, in practice, Islamic banking uses techniques of mark-up, etc. which are disguised forms of interest. Similarly, Islamic claim to ethical norms and values is also not unique. Capitalism and socialism have also their roots in Christian ethics. The Islamic economics presents its idealized model and compares it with the Muslim perception of western societies. It conveniently ignores the practice in Muslim societies which is hardly different from the western picture it intends to criticise.

Surveys the literature on Islamic economics and concludes that the Islamic economics lies between neoclassical economics and socialist model. Islamic economics is a lassaiz faire system with a large degree of state intervention. Since the ultimate ownership lies with God, the exact shares of ownership between the individual and the state are indeterminate. There does not exist any consensus among the Islamic sects and nations as to how this problem can be resolved. The Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet contain contradictions.

At the heart of the contemporary Islamic doctrine of economics lies a set of behavioral norms derived from the first Islamic society in the seventh century Arabia. Tries to argue that these norms cannot serve as a spearhead of a drive for modern economic development. For one thing, the proposed norms are unlikely to enjoy widespread adherence in large societies where it is difficult to achieve common perception of reality, elicit generalized altruism and overcome the free rider problem. Secondly, many Islamic norms are ambiguous, and some interfere with institutions designed to improve the working of markets. For social scientists. Based on primary sources.Documented. 059:8 KURAN, TIMUR, "The Economic Impact of Islamic Fundamentalism," in Marty, M. & S.Appleby (eds.), Remaking the World: The Impact of Fundamentalism, Chicago University Press, 1992, 55Pp. Argues that the impact of "Islamic economics" has been anything but revolutionary. The main role of islamic banking has been to stimulate domestic and international trade through interest-based financial mechanisms in use throughout the world, though it has used several ruses to disguise this fact. The redistribution scheme known as zakah has nowhere become significant vehicle for reducing inequality, and in at least one country where zakah is now obligatory the direction of redistribution is away from the poor. The systems of zakah in Muslim countries are subject to gross mismanagement and corruption. As for the renewed emphasis on economic morality, it effect on economic behavior appears insignificant. The future of Islamic economics as understood and practised today is going to be very bleak. Either it will face the same fate as socialism in 20th century or it will adopt major changes in ideas paving way for secularism. For social scientisits. Based on primary sources. Documented. 059:9 NASR, S.V.R, "Islamization of knowledge: A Critical Overview," Islamic Studies, Islamabad, (30:3) Autumn '91, Pp.387-400. Criticises the whole enterprise of Islamization of knowledge. Picks up Islamic economics as a case study. Islamic economics has not developed any philosophy of its own. Instead, it has concentrated on discussing interest-free institutions which in the development of knowledge should have come in the end. Islamic economcs should begin by studying the basic premise and assumptions of Western economics and then examine which of these need to be Islamized in the light of the world-view of Islam. In this way it should start revising the entire philosophy of Western economics. Institutional development will follow automatically. 42

Order No. DA9226094. The ideological and theoretical underpinning of post-revolutionary economic policies in Iran under the banner of "Economic Islamization" was based on the principles of Islamic economic thought. Islamic economic theory is not, however, a unified body of thought. The thesis identifies two conflicting approaches to private property rights and the economic role of the state: a "Liberal' and a "Radical". The liberal approach does not consider limits to legitimately acquired private property and advocates a limited economic role for the state. The radical approach emphsizes distributive equity through public ownership and a limited ownership of private land and capital. It considers a bigger economic role for the state. The conflic in these two appoaches resulted in the incoherent policies of the state. In retrospect, the most salient


charateristic of the economic Islamization program has been its lack of theoretical consistency and its incoherent policies. For economists and jurists. Based on primary sources.

Evaluates the food security in the OIC countries in terms of food. The substantial growth rates in the production of major food crops remained insufficient to match the population growth throughout the 1980s. Moreover, the food deficiency could hardly be met through imports due to high indebtedness, especially, of the African countries and due to the worsening terms of trade.

Analyses the present state of the Muslim countries of development and resource-endowment. Also analyses the Muslim response to the challenges posed by the dominance of the West.


Highlights the confusion of the Muslim response. Points out the emerging changes in the world scene. The most important of these changes are the onslaught of information technology, entanglement of the Muslim ummah into the Western worldview of nation-states, population explosion in the Muslim countries and extremely poor quality of the population. The situation is bleak as the West is marching fast on the road to development while the Muslims are not even in a position to gather up their response and develop a joint strategy. In this race of losing time, the Muslim countries should immediately spend far more resources than at present toward the development of human capital, training and education, research and development. They should also consider reducing expenditure on military build-up. The Muslim governments should not leave this task to the private sector only. A highly stimulating paper.

Secular economics and the experience of other countries rather than exegesis of the Qur'an and the Sunnah, point the way towards a process of sustained development based on modernization and transformation in the Islamic world. The elements of a system conducive to development do not as a rule run counter to the Islamic world-view; rather, they are compatible with Islam and can be justified using its primary sources. Islamic development model differs from the secular models primarily fom the way system is legitimized. If a system termed 'Islamic' came to be broadly accepted and recognized as such it could play an important part in the economic development of the Islamic world. For economists and general readers.

Islam recognises the presence of time value of money and emphasises that as the time value of money is an investment phenomenon, its valuation can only be realistic if it takes place at the end of investment when its outcome becomes known. An evaluation before that point is only illusionary. However, illusion can be used for mental operation but must not be exchanged for actual goods and services. Analytical. For economists. Based on primary sources. Documented. 133:3 KHAN, M. FAHIM, "Time Value of Money and Discounting in Islamic Perspective," Review of Islamic Economics, Leicester, (1:2) 1991, Pp.35-46. Argues that there is no justification for assuming zero rate of time preference in an Islamic economy. There is nothing against a positive time preference or against realizing a time value of money in an Islamic framework, as long as time value of money is not claimed as a predetermined value. The paper also identifies possible discount rate to be used in evaluating projects, particulalrly in the public sector. The rates of return paid by


Islamic banks on deposits of different maturities, have been suggested as close proxies for discount rates for the evaluation of projects of different maturities. Analytical. For economists.

In the light of opinions of jurists of four sunni schools of law, argues that the Islamic law favours taking into account any variation in the value of money due to inflation. Therefore, in case of loans and other payments involving time, the difference in the value of currency will be taken into account while settling the claims. For jurists. Based on primary sources. Documented. 142:2 SIDDIQI, M. N., "Impact of Islamic Modes of Finance on Monetary Expansion," Journal of King Abdulaziz University: Islamic Economics, Jeddah, (4) 1992, Pp.37-45. Focuses on different perceptions about the likely impact of Islamic banks' operations on money supply. Since investment accounts with the Islamic banks carry some withdrawal facility, new money is created when the funds in these accounts go to entrepreneurs on profit-sharing or murabaha basis. Argues that as compared to the conventional banks money creation by


Islamic banks is more closely associated with the creation of additional wealth in the real sector. The resulting expansion in money supply will be smaller compared to that resulting from conventional banks' lending out of their time and saving deposits. The Islamic banks should, therefore, be subjected to a reserve ratio smaller than that applied by the central bank to the conventional banks. For economists and Islamic bankers.

One who gives an interest-free loan must get back the value he lent and not the quantity of currency notes be cause these notes are not money per se . They represent money. In this age, the purchasing power of these currency notes should be protcted so far as the borrower as well as the lender are concerned. For jurists and economists. Based on primary sources.

Argues that the indexation of loans due to inflation is not allowed in Shari'ah since it is difficult to tell the increase due to inflation and increase as interest from each other. However, if a person lends in one currency and recovers the loan in another currency, then it is permissible to settle the loan at the exchange rate of the day repayment is being made even though it involves an increase over the rate when the loan was contracted.

For general readers. Based on primary and secondary sources. 311:4 ALI, MAHFOOZ, "Islamic Banking: Riba, Interest and Profit Sharing," Journal of Institute of Bankers Karachi, (55:3) Sept.'89, Pp.21-32. Argues that riba means excess or unearned value which one factor may rceive from the other in an exchange transaction. A predetermined factor price, be it interest or wages or profit is susceptible to riba. Interest and riba are not identical. Interest can contain an element of riba but whole of mit cannot be termed as riba. A riba-free rate of interest is actually the equilibrium rate of interest in a purely competitive market of capital in which the rate of interest tends to be equal to its marginal productivity. Capital is sledom overpriced in developing countries. Therefore, the existence of riba in interest rates which may arise to banks is very rare; perhaps a non-existent phenomenon. No policy initiative is required to eliminate something that does not exist.

It argues that the interest prevalent in financial institutions and in government transactions is riba and thus not lawful. It has examined almost all the relating issues such as indexation, interest on inter-government transactions, international transactions and interest on provident funds. It also suggests that the restructuring of these institutions and procedures should be done on the basis os profit-loss sharing.

Therefore, the main implication of the prohibition of riba is for the consumption


loans. The jurists had not been able to fully delineate the meanings and implications of riba al- fadl. Because of their preoccuption with the the legal meaning of riba they had to devise several contrivances to handle real life situations. For jurists and economists. Based on primary sources.

Argues that the riba and interest are two different things. The Qur'an has prohibited riba with the intention of helping the poor and the needy. It did not intend to prohibit the interest on commercial loans. Also argues that the present Islamic banks have not been able to abolish interest from their operations. So whatever is being claimed by way of "Islamic " banking is nothing but only a subterfuge to retain interest. For economists and jurists. Based on primary sources.

Argues that the late payment charges on the utility bills are usurious. On the basis of a real-life analysis finds out that most of the people who delay payment of utility bills do pay them within one month but the fine paid by them remains the same, even if they delay the payment by six monts. Thus on the one hand the rate of interest charged for late payment is exorbitant and on the other hand the incentive to pay early is reduced. Proposes that that a fixed fine sshould be replaced by an interest charge of 1% - 1.5% per month. Analytical. For economists.

Argues that the courts have not been able to comprehend the full import of the late payments surcharge. Analyses the implications of the surcharge and proves that it is nothing but usury.

Looks at some current controversies in contemporary macroeconomic theory on the issue of unemployment and inflation. Argues that although analysis of some post-Keynesian economists clearly points out the institution of interest as one of the main causes of financial instability which leads to recession or stagflation, their solution to these problems ignores the issue and assigns an active role to the government instead through its monetary and fiscal policies. Shows that the replacement of interest-based transactions by equity-based transactions will reduce the need to create inflation in solving the problem of unemployment, and may lead to a desirable distribution of income pattern.

In an advanced economy, equity financing should be the rule and not the last resort. Profit-sharing provides more flexibility in meeting contingencies. It combines 'rules' and 'discretion'. Debt is restrictive, unforgiving, and hence less stable. There is a "fundamental paradox" in the "sale" of both information and money, precluding the image of a 'normal' commodity. Debt provides a market mechanism that may invite opportunism in addition to usual moral hazard problem. Equity has no such mechanism and hence there less room for opportunism. The property-right approach shows an imbalance and assymetry of rights


between the contracting parties in a debt contract. In an interest-based contract, there is a demand for a peculiar type of insurance. Analytical. For economists.

The latter will contain a higher rate to


compensate the bank for interest-free loan. e) Overhead expenses can be financed through bai' salam and bai' istisna'. f) Prompt payment by the client will entitle him for a cash rebate. g) Banks can recover penalty on the sum as per cent per annum but this will not be treated as income of the bank.

In the first part traces the Islamic banks from ancient times. Argues that the Muslims developed the business forms of mudaraba and musharaka from the ancient customs and traditions. These forms travelled to the West where after a long and complex evolution, these forms bloomed into joint stock company. The Muslims then again borrowed the concept of joint stock company from the West. Further dvelopments of this concept are going on in the West in the form of Venture Capital companies. The Islamic banks can integrate their business with the Venture Capital Companies. The present form of Islam banks is removed away from the pure Islamic position as they have concentrated their business on murabaha which is quite close to interest. To avoid this the author gives a set of proposals. Very briefly, he proposes that the Islamic banks should channelise their funds through Venture Capital Companies instead of dealing dirrectly with a multitude of business firms. The Venture Capital Companies have the wherewithal to spread their risk and analyse the business proposals. The author also proposes that the Islamic banks should gradaully move towards musharaka and mudaraba, say at the rate of 5% a year. Further, the government should give Islamic banks some incentives in the form of tax concessions if they adopt musharaka and mudaraba instead of murabaha.The paper has a lot of valuable historical information alongwith some original proposals to reform the Islamic banks.

Unpublished. Mimeo. Islamic banking rejects interest debt contracts in favour of profit and loss sharing partnerships. However, economic analysis shows that debt contracts are optimal for financial intermediaries in many situations. Islamic banks might be able to offset the disadvantage implied by the need for extra monitoring by operating within a strongly bank-based, as opposed to market-based, financial system, where there is both a better flow of information and stronger commitment between borrower and lender. But there is no sign of the emergence of such a system yet, and in practice Islamic banks are involved mainly in short term trade financing rather than profit and loss sharing partnerships.

For being successful, the Islamic banks will have to be efficient and effective. They need to educate their potential clientele and staff about the nature of their business. They need to invest in information technology. They should also innovate in Islamic retail products such as credit cards. Similalrly, they should innovate in the field consumption loans.

Legal framework of Pakistan allowed to set up an Islamic bank. The State Bank of Pakistan did not address itself to question of conversion of interest-based system to an Islamic one. The banks remained passive to the change. Proposes that the State bank of Pakistan should set up a shari'ah advisory board to advise the banks about proper method of mark-up financing. Makes policy suggestions for monitoring banks to adopt PLS financing. Buy-back agreement should be replaced by shari'ah-approved mark-up. In the immediate future, mark-up is better than ideal profit-loss sharing, which may be difficult to practise. Deposit banking and investment banking should be separated. There should be shari'ah audit of financial institutions. Training of banking staff will also be necessary. For bankers. Undocumented. 312:80 KHAN, M.

This is permissible since it is a guarantee not by the banks but by a third party.

Second revised and enlarged edition. The first edition came out in 1992. Reviews the progress of Islamic banking and concludes that it has regressed since it took a start. Analyses reasons for reversal and the role of government, banks, central bank and that of the general public. Suggests a number of new financial instruments for long term financing. Defines a new role for commercial banks. The banks should do intermediation either for a service charge or should also assume risk if they want to earn a return. The same applies to savers. Those savers who want to earn a return should place their savings in such mutual funds or investment trusts where these funds could be invested in the real sector on profit or loss sharing basis. To overcome the problem of false book-keeping, proposes that the banks should deal with large scale intermediaries and associations of traders rather than a large number of small firms. These intermediaries, in turn should deal with small traders. Suggests that a number of new institutions like al- hisba, local courts, credit rating agency and an active stock exchange will have to be created to make the system work. For economists and bankers.

The adoption of Islamic banking has not led to the collapse of the financial system as some feared. There has been a rapid growth of private-sector deposits in Islamic modes in both countries, demonstrating that the system can be effective in mobilising resources. But at the same time, because government policies in Iran and Pakistan strongly influence the asset acquisition behaviour of the banking system, it is far more difficult to judge the efficiency of Islamic banking in allocating the mobilised resources, based on the performance thus far of the systems operating in these two countries. How the system would work in the absence of government intervention remains an open question. Analytical. For economists.

The deposit mobilisation by conventional banks is on the basis of interest. But this incentive is not available to Islamic banks. Islamic banks can handle this situation by adopting the system of redeembale equity whereby the companies may be allowed to buy their own shares after a certain specified period. Besides, the governments need to control deficit financing to fight inflation, and rationalise tax structures to allay the fears of the business community, and set up more stock exchanges. These measures can make the Islamic banking conform to the shari'ah. A thought provoking paper.

Based on practical experience of Islamic banking in Egypt, Tunisia and Turkey, the paper examines the politics behind Islamic banking practices. Islamic societies constitute distinctive market segments, courted by governments, political oppositions, and businesses alike. Wherever Islamic banks compete with conventional ones, competitive politics are likely to deepen the segmentation, enhancing the cohesion of Islamic banking constituencies and thereby diminishing their information costs. Islamic banks should have better prospects for expansion and development in countries that combine competitive banking with competitive politics than under more restrictive regimes.

The perception that the Western marketing concept is useful for developing nations is not all that well-founded. This view fails to account for various environmental factors of macro-marketing that make the transition to the marketing concept more complicated than it appears on the surface. Different cultural priorities, lifestyles and buyer decision-making factors, for example, call for re-evaluation of the efforts and results of the Middle East banks to implement their own unique marketing concept and to achieve the most effective utilization of the banking system in serving the region's economic development goals. Placed in perspective, in this article the authors view the Islamic banking environment as one of the more significant case examples which may be used to evolve a better understanding of the unique aspects of the marketing concept in a developing region.

The demand for money in an Islamic economy will be much more stable due to absence of interest and speculative motives for money. The central bank can target on a money supply by regulating deposits. It will mean reducing the fiscal deficits of the government. The central


bank has at its disposal several instruments: statutory reserve requirement, credit ceiling, moral suasion, government deposits, foreign exchange swap and the use of a common pool. The central bank can make the high powered money created by it available to the government as interest-free loans. The central bank can also provide high powered money to commercial banks for onward financing to the rural and urban poor. The risk of banks can be reduced by introducing a laon guarantee scheme. The additional costs of project evaluation can be offset parttly by gradated fees to be collected by the government out of profits earned from such financing by the banks. For bankers and economists.

Using a general equilibrium model, the paper investigates some open-economy implications of the adoption of Islamic banking for growth and stabilization of the economy. It analyzes the long-run effects of Islamic banking on international capital flows and on the economy's capacity to adjust to disturbances.

There is no much literature on regulatory, monetary and institutional aspects of interest free Islamic banking framework. Evaluate the functions and tools of central banking in an Islamic framework. For example, central banks can use discount rate on the basis of average rate of return in different sectors of the economy plus or minus a discretionary premium/discount factor. For open market operations the central banks can adopt a system of "composit stock" representing its ownership of all of the government and government enterprises and probably state owned commercial banks. The central banks can adopt either 100% reserve ratio or zero percent reserve ratio. Similarly, profit-loss sharing ratio, refinance ratio, selective credit control and moral suasion could be other tools of the monetary policy. Present a mathemathical model of the above tools.

Discusses the role of Prophet Muhammad (SAAW) in the organisation of both the collection of state revenue and the means of its expenditure. In the present age the government can meet its deficit by issuing financial instruments for income-generating activities as well as for non-income-generating activities. For the first categories the instruments could be: musharaka and mudaraba certificates; leasing-based instruments; trading-based instruments for the purchase and sale of specific goods. For non-income-generating activities the instruments could be: istisna' certificates; ijara/ju'ala certificates for the provision of goods and services on some future date; and foreign exchange bearer certificates.

More research is needed to determine the zakatability of industry, business and services. The condition of growth (nama') needs reconsideration. There is a need to redefine the concept of nisab. Rates of zakah on new forms of wealth should also be consistent. Exemptions from zakah must also be in harmony with those applied to old activities. Zakah can eradicate poverty in the Muslim world within a reasonable time, only if the new forms of wealth and income are considered zakatable. Distribution of zakah should give priority to those measures which promote rehabilitation of the poor. A highly stimulating paper. Juristic. For Muslim economists and policy makers.

Reviews and analyses the impact of zakah on the individual and the society in the light of the concept of comprehensive development from an Islamic point of view. Draws guidelines for policy-makers in the Islamic society in order to utilize zakah in achieving development especially in the field of financing development projects. The zakah collecting bodies can invest the funds in income-generating projects which will be eventually owned by the beneficiaries of the zakah. The objective should be to make the poor self-reliant. Zakah can play a significant role at the level of the Muslim ummah by transferring these funds across the borders. A World Zakah Institution should be established at the level of the Muslim ummah.

They do not protest against it openly but try to evae its payment since they believe that the zakah collected by the state functionaries is either misappropriated or misspent.

be made available to venture capital companies who would enter into mudaraba agreements with entrepreneurs. The profits will be distributed between entrepreneurs and venture capital company and the waqf in pre-determined proportions. Thus, the institution of waqf could be developed for providing finance to the business besides being a source of social service. 327:2 CIZAKCA, MURAT, "Relevance of the Ottoman Cash Waqfs to Modern Islamic Economics," New Horizon, London, (18,20) Aug-Oct'93, Pp.12-15, 7-9.

In case of profit-sharing contracts, long-term relationships are preferable because inculcating ethics in financial markets will take time. If Islamic ethics are internalized in financial markets, contracts will not only be optimal, but Islamic morality will also induce entrepreneurs to reveal their private information and deter them from cheating or shirking. No need will arise for monitoring, because there would be no divergence between the agent's decision and the decision that would maximize the investor's welfare. The agent will know that if promises are not kept and careful decisions are not reached, the entrepreneur's reputation will be tarnished and access to funds needed in the future will be lost.

Emphasizing risk averse nature of fund suppliers in an uncertain environment, establishes the possibility of riba-free Preto-optimality in a primary financial market, explaining real life dominance of the mixed debt/equity system in terms of deviation from informational efficiency. Risk premia normally associated with equity returns re definite indicators of risk aversion on the part of demand side real investors. Under totally undiversifiable risk, a financier may prefer equity to risk-free asset even though he is more risk-averse than the demand side issuer of equity. The paper concludes that free market dynamic forces generate a fiancial order giving privileges to active demanders of funds rather than 'sympathizing' with risk-averse suppliers of funds as conventional analysis implies. Theoretical claims of efficiency losses in the financial supply process due to Islamization appear to be groundless. Mathematical. Uses diagrams. For economists.

It is shown, under certain assumptions which include risk aversion on the part of investors, that the Pareto optimal contract is the VRS. Also VRS spreads risk more evenly than FRS allowing more risk taking in the economy. The domination of the real world by FRS, i.e. debt contracts, is shown to be caused mainly by informational asymmetry and higher monitoring costs in case of VRS. But these costs are not prohibitive. The more effective the methods of monitoring and the higher the level of honesty on the part of economic agents, the more superior the Islamic financial system would prove to be in practice.

Illustrates the potential impact of the Islamic doctrine on western economic relationships by focussing on the prohibtion of interest (riba) in Islamic economics. Shows that the alternative method of financier remuneration (i.e. mudarabah profit-loss sharing) will, under certain conditions, enhance capital investment on account of its ability to act as an efficient revelation device. By applying the ideas developed in the western contract literature, it shows that a mudarabah contract between the manager of a project and a syndicate of investors may permit a more efficient revelation of any informational asymmetries between the two.

521:14 SIDDIQI, M.N., "Some Economic Aspects of Mudarabah," Review of Islamic Economics, Leicester, (1:2) 1991, Pp.21-34 Traces the practice of mudaraba through several centuries of Islamic history. Though its widest application was in trade, it has also been used in non-trading business activities. Its application to agriculture, manufacturing, services and financial sectors poses no serious problems. Argues that mudaraba or profit-sharing between suppliers of capital and entrepreneurs, is especially suitable for the financial sector and a financial sector based on profit-sharing is superior to the one based on interest.

Paper presented to the International Symposium on "Modern Sciences and the Muslim World" organised by the Research Centre for Islamic History, Art and Culturre, Istanbul during 2-4 September 1987. Argues that the Middle East possessed a sophisticated tradition of business partnerships, the origins of which have been traced to the Assyrian period. The rich tradition which formed the basis of trade survived in the form of customs and traditions


well known by the mercantile communities in the Middle East. The basic contribution of Islam was to systematize and incorporate this tradition into Islamic jurisprudence. This incorporation had to conform to the basic Islamic teachings. It was basically through the exercise of istihsan and hiyal that large segments of mercantile customary law were incorporated. From the Muslim East these practices spread to the West where they underwent a thorough growth and evolution until in nineteenth century, the Muslim world started borrowing back from the West.

Price control should be resorted to only when there is an urgent need for it. In cases of necessity the Islamic government can impose price controls. But the stat's policy, in principle, should be that of restraint. The present day free market economy reflects the interests of capitalists more than those of the consumers. A great deal of imaginative work is needed to shift the balance of market forces in favour of the latter.

The traditional double-entry-based accounting is well-suited to an orthodox, positivist society of any kind. It is unsurprising that it is proving inadequate, as people are returning to more integrated world-views, whether Islamic or otherwise. It may be that the proposition that the doctrine of zakah could be developed into a formal system of social insurance, and so provide point of entry into an n-dimensional assessment of economic reality, is worthy of consideration as a solution to the general problems of accounting, apart from its religious connotation in Islam.

In the broader framework of Islam, discusses the types of business organisation allowed in it. Argues that Islam upholds unlimited liability of the business partners, does not recognise incorporation and absentee investors. Islam does not accept the oncept of time value of money nor does it recognise discounting in capital budgeting. The purpose of accounting in Islam is to calculate liability towards zakah payment, which is based on net realisable value of assets. Islam, therefore, does not accept the Western concepts of historical costing, conservatism, going concern and periodicity. Since Islam requires everyone to participate in the business in which one invests its capital, the possibility of aliens buying a concern is minimised. Therefore, the fear of mergers, take-overs and insider trading in the Islamic economy is reduced. An original work. Based on primary sources. For Muslim economists and accountants.

Explains the peculiar nature of the business of Islamic banks. Discusses some of the accounting practices of the Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad (BIMB) relating to fund accounting, mudaraba, murabaha, leasing, depreciation and bad debts. Thinks that accounting of Islamic banks follow a cash basis rather than an accrual basis. In case of lease financing the BIMB does not record any fixed asset in the balance sheet. it only records the lease receivable less the profit margin which is not received. But for operating lease it records a fixed asset in the balance sheet reduced by annual depreciation. For foreign currency transactions, the BIMB discloses the assets and liabilities in the balance sheet at the rate of exchange of the balance sheet date. But for reporting these trransactions, it uses the rate of exchange of the date on which the transaction is realised. Gains or losses on foreign traansactions due to exchange rate fluctuation are recorrded when realised. In case of bad debt accounting, the BIMB revalues the receivables and charges the bad debts to income. There is need to develop some new accounting standards for Islamic banks.

An integrated accounting system existed in Muslim Administrative offices of the tenth century. Evidence suggests that some modern-day-like bookkeeping and accounting control procedures may have been practised. It is reasonable to believe that Italian traders were educated in the use of sophisticated business methods by their Muslim counterparts. Importantly, the accounting system used in the Muslim Administrative offices was consistent with the preconditions for employing modern-day bookkeeping and accounting control procedures. The Muslim accounting system described in this article separated record and custodial functions; closed accounts monthly and audited them; and maintained an elaborate system of


vouchers and documents of authorization to enhance internal control. Conjecture that the Muslim world contributed to the development of European accounting is justified. For accountants.

Examines the status of industrialization and reason for lack of it as well as the tremenduous potential for industrial growth in the Muslim world. Provides a rationale for structural change and industriliazation in order to achieve progress. The major reasons are: lack of efficient infrastructure, capital and skilled manpower. Moreoever, many Muslim countries are small in terms of population, market size and lack quality production for international penetration.

The weak R&D systems in Islamic countries resulted from lack of real demand for their inputs created by the mode of economic and industrial planning which favours material inputs to development over the endogenous R&D and S&T inputs. In consequence,the economic and technological dependence of these countries has increased over the years. A better alternative to this mode of planning is the techonology-based industrial development planning which creates the demand for endogenous R&D in the process of real techonology transfer and in the generation of new technologies. The role of industrial R&D system in these countries is briefly described. Suggestions and recommendations are made to create more demand for the national industrial R&D system and to increase its capabilities in supplying this demand. For economists and scientists.

621:3 MAHMOUD, M. KAMEL, "Human and Institutional Infrastructures for Acquisition, Absorption aand Diffusion of Technology in Islamic Countries," Technology Window, Islamabad, (5:5) Sep-Oct'93, Pp.4-14. Inspite of sharing a common Islamic heritage, the OIC countires differ in many socio-economic aspects including technology trade. Generally, all of these countries are "importers" of technology. They are in a weak position in technology bargains and accept many unfair terms. They have very little absorption and diffusion of technology. To strengthen their capabilities in acquisition, absorption and diffusion of technology, Islamic countires should establish a national institutional machinery for monitoring and regulating technology imports. Governments should issue legal instruments to maximize the benefits of imports of technology. For policy makers and business community. Contains statistical data. Documented. 622-Privatisation

Examines the human capital investment decisions in an Islamic economy. Under perfect market assumptions the cost of capital with mudaraba financing will be at least equal to the cost of capital of an all-equity financed firm. When market imperfections are considered, the use of debt can reduce the cost of capital. Therefore, under PLS system the cost of capital to the firm will be higher. However, the behaviour of investment under the Islamic interest-free system may be influenced by changes in the investor's time and risk preferences, qualitative changes in contracting behaviour, a lowering of moral hazard, and an increase in expected returns. The totality of these issues precludes a definitive answer. Mathematical. For economists. Documented. 853-Intellectual Capital 853:1 MARASHDEH, OMAR, "Intellectual Capital: The Way Ahead," New Horizon, London, (37) March '95, Pp.14. This one-page article argues that the Islamic banks should accept the intellectual capital as a valid collateral. Once a project is identified, an Islamic bank could act as an underwriter or a venture capitalist. It could seek high net-worth investors to purchase stakes in such projects on a musharaka basis. In this arrangement, the entreprpeneur contributes his intellectual capital know-how, the bank contributes its managerial skill and the investors contribute their capital. For economists and bankers.

CHAPTER NINE

900- WELFARE PROGRAMMES;CONSUMER ECONOMICS

920- CONSUMER ECONOMICS

921- Consumer Behaviour in the Islamic Framework 921:1 GARI, M.A. EL-, "Some Islamic Insights on the Theory of Consumer Behaviour"4, Journal of Objective Studies5, Aligarh, (2:1) January'90, Pp.1-9 The neoclassical theory of consumer behaviour is relevant to a person who is purely "homo economicus". But the real human beings are not "homo economicus". They are motivated by many other things. In an Islamic society, there will exist a higher self, an advanced human nature which has its its distinct system of motivations. Thus in the context of Islamic economy, the consumer theory will not be just a reinterpretation of the neoclassical consumer theory. It will be an independent theory with its specific variables. Conceptual. For economists. Documented.

921:3 KHAN, M.FAHIM, "Zakah, Moderation and Aggregate Consumption in an Islamic Economy"4, Journal of KAU:Islamic Economics5, Jeddah, (2) 1990, Pp.101-105 Comments on Munawar Iqbal's paer of the same title (JRIE, Vol.3 No.1, summer 1985). In Islamic economics, the concumption function is much more than mere consumption-income relationship. We must recognize the institutional framework within which an Islamic consumer is supposed to behave. This framework is more than mere market. Islamic economy has non-market institutions which influence the consumer behaviour. Thus Keynesian analysis will not help. For economists. Documented.

921:4 ZAMAN, ASAD, "Towards Foundation for an Islamic Theory of Consumer Behav- iour" in Faridi,F.R., Essays in Islamic Economic Analysis, New Delhi: Genuine Publications, 1991, Pp.37-51 Argues that the positive economics is loaded with value judgements which are antithetical to Islam. The Muslims can construct similar theories without incorporating value judgements of the positive economics. Constructs one such theory on consumer behaviour. Mathematical. For economists only. Documented.
