The methodology of Islamic economy is among the important areasof Islamic economic studies. The attention it gets from scholarstoday is much more than what it used to do in the past. Though ithas certain backgrounds, it is a new study in this area. To deal withmethodology without paying attention to some of the foundationsIslamic economic studies is a futile attempt devoid of any depthand precision. Giving attention to principles such as ‘the need forcompatibility between methodologies, objectives and principles ofIslamic economy’, ‘the need for compatibility between legitimate goaland legitimate methodology’, ‘multi-methodological characteristic ofIslamic economic’, ‘the stable and the variable in Islamic economy’,‘guidelines and commandments (in Islamic economy)’, ‘the impactof time and place on (Islamic) economy’, ‘the impact of religion onIslamic economy’, ‘the role of intellect in deducing economic laws’and ‘the presence of local and universal elements’, will further enrichmethodological studies. Given these principles we can list the mainmethodologies of Islamic economy with special emphasis on Qur’aniceconomy as under: induction, extra-thematic interpretation, makinguse of descriptive statements of Islamic economy, endorsement,discovery, systematic, and establishment.
