{bit.ly/AZnaie49} The process of global conquest and colonization destroyed the knowledge required to build Islamic societies, and replaced it with a capitalist society, built on capitalist structures of knowledge. The central battleground is that of knowledge. We must replace this knowledge upon which capitalist societies are built by the knowledge encapsulated in the Islamic intellectual tradition. The foundations of society are human beings, and Islam provides us with deep and sophisticated knowledge of the nature of human beings. This is far superior to the caricature available in modern economics, named homo economicus, Using our deeper knowledge of human beings allows us to build an alternative to Western social sciences, including economics, on sound foundations.
