Abstract

Muslim writers despite criticizing conventional economics paradigms on the ground that they contradict Islamic world views have not been able find alternatives to the conventional paradigms and methodology. In their writing they criticize the Western values but they adapt the same paradigms when they build theories of economic behavior of Muslim agents. This brought logical inconsistency in their methodology. This paper calls for scientific revolution in economics, whereby materialistic paradigms are replaced by Islamic paradigms based on ethics to establish Islamic economics. It is not something new since Western writers are also calling for it after the latest financial crisis. على الرغم من انتقاد الكتاب المسلمون للقيم العلمية لعلم الاقتصاد بسبب تناقضها مع النظرة الكونية للإسلام، إلا أنهم لم يستطيعوا أن يوجدوا بديلا عنها، وعن المنهجية المادية، لذلك في طرق بحثهم وكتاباتهم في الاقتصاد الإسلامي انتقدوا القيم العلمية الغربية في الوقت الذي تبنوا المفاهيم المبنية عليها وهذا أدى الى عدم توافق منطقي في منهجية تنظيرهم للسلوك الاقتصادي الإسلامي لذلك فإن الورقة تدعو الى ثورة علمية في الاقتصاد مبنية على استبدال القيم العلمية المادية لعلم الاقتصاد بقيم علمية أخلاقية إسلامية، وهي دعوة نادى بها الكتاب الغربيون بعد المشكلات التي تسببت فيها الأزمات الاقتصادية والمالية والتي كان من أسبابها حسب دراساتهم افتقاد علم الاقتصاد الى القيم والتي هي جزء مؤثر في السلوك الاقتصادي للبشر.
