The first part of this two-part book deals with conceptual and methodological discussions, while the second part deals with issues related to Islamic economics. In his article discussing the reasons why Islamic economics has not reached the conceptual and scientific level, Fahim Khan argues that the most important reason is the lack of vision. Khan also argues that Islamic economics should be recognized as an independent scientific discipline and that this discipline should be developed in terms of its own values. In his article, Asad Zaman argues that Islamic economics needs to be redefined and divides the field into three parts: The micro level, where the individual lives and applies God's commands in economic matters; the meso-medium level, which concerns the immediate community; and the macro level, which concerns the ummah as a whole... Abul Hassan, on the other hand, reviews his work in the field of Islamic economics up to the present day and discusses the future of the discipline and what can be done methodologically in the field. In the last article of the first part, Şennur Özdemir approaches the subject from a different perspective and discusses the possibilities of an Islamic economy.
