Summary/Abstract: The questions about the Islamic economy focus on two particular ruling from the Islamic tradition: the injunction to pay zakat and the prohibition of riba. Zakat not only represents a pillar of the moral economy of Islam, but that it is a more effective means of redistribution and economic development than existing secular fiscal instruments. The paper concludes that Islamic economic system is viable, logically and internally consistent and that it is an ethical alternative to conventional Western economy.
