Key Analytical Themes:
- Theoretical Framework: Defining the core pillars of Islamic economics—Social Justice (Adl), Benevolence (Ihsan), and the prohibition of exploitation (Riba)—as active drivers for a balanced economy.
- Policy Implications: Discussing how Islamic thought translates into practical policy, specifically focusing on wealth distribution through Zakat and the role of the state in market regulation.
- Integration of Ethics: Arguing that the "Horizons" of Islamic economics are broader than secular theories because they integrate moral accountability with profit-seeking motives.
- Historical Continuity: Connecting the intellectual contributions of Amman's academic circles with the broader global movement toward interest-free banking and ethical investment.
