Would "History of Islamic economics" be a better title? Thoughts?Bless sins (talk) 17:23, 12 January 2008 (UTC)


 * A paper from the School of Business at Auckland University of Technology is reliable.Bless sins (talk) 17:32, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree. "History of Islamic economics" is indeed the best choice for this article. Because this article is about the history (mostly medieval history but also modern) of Islamic economics applications within Islamic societies. Khestwol (talk) 21:34, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Islamic Capitalism?
The section on free-market in Islam is misleading and inaccurate. Timur Kuran in his 2004 Journal of Economic Perspectives argues that the very institutions cited in this wiki, were responsible for stunting the growth of capitalism in Islamic East. Since Kuran is a world leader in economic history and economic thought in Islam, I think this section needs serious revision. mrjahan —Preceding comment was added at 22:08, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Islamic economics in the world
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Islamic economics in the world's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Oweiss": From Labor theory of value: I. M. Oweiss (1988), "Ibn Khaldun, the Father of Economics", Arab Civilization: Challenges and Responses, New York University Press, ISBN 0887066984 From Muqaddimah: I. M. Oweiss (1988), "Ibn Khaldun, the Father of Economics", Arab Civilization: Challenges and Responses, New York University Press, ISBN 0887066984. 

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 12:57, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Removal of Content: Lawsuits
The citation for lawsuits (Ray Spier (2002), "The history of the peer-review process", Trends in Biotechnology 20 (8), p. 357-358 [357]. ) in the article is somewhat misleading. I have reviewed this citation and have a copy of it in personal possession. The author is candid in discarding any written history prior to 100 CE, deeming it unreliable. The first article he could find on peer review that fit his definition of history was a document around 820 CE indicating a right to sue based on peer review. It is disingenuous to assume that the ability of two opposing parties to appear before some institution of law to have their case heard and a judgement rendered, the definition of lawsuit, began at this point in time.

microcredit and microfinance
How are these classed as Islamic when they charge high interest rates? Faro0485 (talk) 16:31, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Question about prohibitions
Do the nations of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf emirates prohibit banking institutions that charge interest?

My understanding is that many majority-Moslem nations have a dual banking system: they charter "western-style" financial institutions on the one hand and "shariah-compliant" institutions on the other. Is this the case in the region I've mentioned above, or is there a unitary shariah-compliant system? I'm not trying to argue about it, just trying to be clear on the actual practices. --Christofurio (talk) 21:41, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Sock edit clean-up, February 2018
User:Swingoswingo, User:XLPeeker99p9, User:Oskimua, and User:Janosik-Ruzalka are all banned Sockpuppets who were involved in disruptive and dishonest editing. Special:Contributions/182.58.35.8 and Special:Contributions/182.58.103.195 are suspected socks. See Sockpuppet investigations/Swingoswingo/Archive‎. The editor was a self-declared non-conformist for which he was banned. See the editor’s comment. The editor is clearly not here to contribute constructively. The editor’s usual practice had been to tag even source content and then delete them some time later. Besides being a self-declared Islamophobic, the editor used to delete positive content on Islam as here for example, and add highly biased and false information as here which was then reverted by another editor. -AsceticRosé 18:03, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
