HURŞİD AHMET’İN İKTİSAT DÜŞÜNCESİ

Abstract

Hurşid Ahmet günümüz İslam Dünyasının en parlak yazarlarından biridir. Gerçekten, hem  Batı hem de İslam dünyasında elde ettiği tanınırlığı, onun dünya çapında bir entellektüel olduğunu göstermektedir. Hurşid, akademik kariyerinin erken döneminden beri sınırları aşan tanınırlığa sahip dersleri, editörlük faaliyetleri, konuşmaları, diyalogları ve seminerlerinde insanlığın problemlerine çözüm olarak İslami reformları tavsiye ediyordu. Çağdaş İslam iktisatçıları, ananevi iktisatçılar ve diğerleri kadar çok yazmamasına rağmen, ürettikleri ikna edicidir ve entellektüel kapasitesini göstermektedir. Bazı spesifik meseleleri geçmişdekilere dayandırarak haklı çıkarmaya çalışan ve çalışmaları sadece teorik kalan, pratik uygulamaya elverişli olmayan veya İslam dünyasında önemli bir akım doğurmayan İslam hukukçuları ve çağdaş İslam iktisatçılarından farklı olarak Hurşid, İslam iktisadını uygulamalı bir disiplin olarak geliştirmek için sistematik bir teşebbüsle ilerledi. Bu makale, onun modern zamanlardaki İslam iktisat düşüncesine olan katkısını, onun İslam iktisadı kavramına odaklanarak ortaya koymaya çalışmaktadır.
