Notion of Islamic economics, although a twentieth century phenomenon, has its
origins in the time of our Beloved Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and His Rightly Guided Caliphs as
well as in the writings of Muslim scholars. Throughout the history of Muslim Economic Thinking (MET), Muslims experienced various political, economic and social
threats and opportunities that formed the basis for the transformation of MET on
one hand, as these threats and opportunities triggered the formation of a historical consistency in MET on the other. Regardless of time, space, context, and actors, each development revealed the different aspects of consistent stance against
the transformations. Thus, consistency, transformations and disintegration, in that
sense, are vital to understand to what extent the contemporary Islamic economics
literature constitutes consistency and integrity — in terms of Shari’ah legitimacy and
methodology — with its roots formed by the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and advanced by His Rightly
Guided Caliphs, as systemized and elaborated throughout the history
