Description: Presenting a persuasive analysis of Islamic ideology in terms of both communist and capitalist theories, this important book fills a significant gap in literature on Islam in the West.

Islam and Human Ideology deals with issues such as the explanation of the term 'Nizam' (system) and topics such as the economic system and development, social relations, ownership, education, insurance, monetary and corporate systems, banking markets and foreign trade policy, industrial policy, stocks and the stock market, the system of government, the army, land, trade and labour, to mention only a few.

In dealing with each one of these subjects, the book presents details of the rulings of Islamic law which govern them. These details are consistently supported by citations and evidence from the Holy Qur'an and the Hadith - the sayings and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 366-375).
