Abstract

First generation Islamic economics promised to create a system with just and equitable economic outcomes, which would be far superior to capitalism and communism. Historical circumstances led the second generation to forget this promise, and to consider Islamic Economics as a minor variant of capitalism. The second generation has been trying to create a sharī‘ah compliant system, where the form is Islamic but the spirit is capitalistic. We need to go back to the roots, and build a genuine Islamic system in form and spirit which is sharī‘ah based, rather than sharī‘ah compliant. By doing this, the third generation can revive the promise of Islamic Economics and create a model economic system which fulfills the promise of the first generation.

Abstract

İlk kuşak İslam iktisatçıları, kapitalizm ve komünizmin ötesinde adil bir ekonomik düzen oluşturmayı 

umut ediyordu. Tarihsel koşullar, ikinci kuşağın bu umutları hatırdan çıkarmasına ve İslam 

ekonomisini kapitalizmin bir uzantısı olarak görmesine yol açtı. İkinci kuşak, şeklin İslami fakat özün 

kapitalist olduğu şeriata uyumlu bir sistem inşa etmeyi denedi. Şeriata uyumlu olmasından ziyade şeriat 

temelli yani şekilde ve özde gerçek İslami sistem kurulması için meselenin köklerine gidilmesi 

gerekmektedir. Üçüncü kuşak bunu yaparak, İslam ekonomisi umudunu yeniden canlandırabilir ve ilk 

kuşağın umut ettiği ekonomik sistem modelini oluşturabilir
