Introduction

This project is a beginning of my attempt to develop a textbook for a course titled Foundation of Islamic Economics (FIE). After two years teaching this course, I have decided to expand my notes into reading materials which I hope could be a basic reference to those who have interest in this subject.

Contents for this work will be expanded on the basis of the followings:

1. Islam, its worldview and Islamic economics
2. Methodology of Islamic economics
3. The Islamic economic system
4. Allocation of resources in an Islamic economic system
5. Distribution
6. Issues in Islamic financing, Riba, Contracts and Islamic Banking.

Your comments are welcomed to improve the discussions.
