The economic role of the state in Islam
Abstract
The economic role of the state in Islam is a hot topic that has interested many Islamic economists. Their general approach has been to examine the verses of the Qur'an as well as the ahadith and the sunnah of the Prophet and then deduce from these how an ideal Islamic economy should function today. This approach can be summarized as 'what the economic role of the state in Islam should be'.
