Abstract

This excellent study offers a critical analysis of the Islamic economic system, particularly as it has evolved in Pakistan after being defined by the traditional ulma and embellished by various Islamic economists. It is a pioneering effort to present a comprehensive view of the issues involved, from riba to the status of women in Islam. These issues are encompassed in a broader discussion of the country's identity: was Pakistan to be an Islamic state or a Muslim state?
