Author: Dr. Maulana Ismatullah Sahib
Review by: Hazrat Maulana Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani Sahib
This book is a comprehensive and highly useful work on economics by Dr. Maulana Ismatullah. It is originally a PhD research thesis which was later given the form of a book due to its comprehensiveness and uniqueness. The author has done a commendable job of covering this complex topic with skill and ease.
Although a lot of material has been written on this topic and many books by various authors have come into the hands of scholars, this book has its own uniqueness due to many features. For example, it discusses all the important topics of economics in detail. Modern and complex issues such as debit cards, charge cards, credit cards, bank drafts, bonds, and shares have been explained with great comprehensiveness and excellence. In addition, money, which is the basis of economics, has been covered in great detail. Similarly, all aspects of the interest-based economists' arguments for declaring interest as halal have been refuted with شرعی arguments and the views of contemporary scholars.
