Abstract

This paper reviews the literature related to the concept and nature of labour in an Islamic perspective which was published during the last thirty years. This review guides us that the labour market in Islam is governed by the Islamic laws of fairness, justice and reward that is equivalent to the job done. It has been also observed through literature survey that most of the conventional concepts, like theory of labour value, have been developed by earlier Muslim jurists. On the other hand it is also observed that most of the works in this area discussed the normative aspect of the labor market whereas few attempts can be seen discussing the positive aspect. The review of literature guides us that there is a need of the time to develop the new theoretical and empirical models for the Islamic labour market, which should be different than the conventional one. This paper also proposed some strategies for the development of new models for the Islamic labor market which should be compatible with the modern world. تقوم هذه الورقة بمراجعة الأدبيات المتعلقة بمفهوم وطبيعة العمل من منظور إسلامي والتي تم إنجازها خلال الثلاثين سنة الماضية. هذه المراجعة ترشدنا إلى أن سوق العمل في الإسلام محكوم بقوانين الإسلام بتحقيق العدل والمساواة والمقابل المجزي الذي يدفع للعامل حسب العمل الذي يقوم به. لقد لاحظت الدراسة كذلك أن بعض النظريات السائدة مثل نظرية قيمة العمل طورها فقهاء المسلمين الأوائل، كما لاحظت الدراسة أن الغالب في تلك الدراسات هو الطابع المعياري (القيمي) المتعلق بسوق العمل في حين أن محاولات قليلة اهتمت بالجانب الإيجابي في الموضوع. إن هذه المراجعة أظهرت أن هناك حاجة لتطوير نماذج نظرية وميدانية لسوق العمل الإسلامي والتي يجب أن تكون مغايرة لما هو سائد في السوق التقليدي. كما تقترح الورقة أن يكون تطوير تلك النماذج مواكباً لمتطلبات العصر.
