The Islamic Economic Subject

The Islamic economics subject and its scope have been studied in this paper. Three theories arise in this field: 1. The Islamic economic subject like conventional economic is an economic phenomenon. 2. Its subject is the economic behaviors of Muslims in an Islamic society. 3. Its subject is the economic behaviors of peoples in an Islamic society. It is believed in the third theory that the Islamic economics is universal and contains public scientific laws that enables this science to explicate human behaviors apart from its believe and values. In this article we come to this conclusion that it is impossible to get a universal economics. We can attribute economics to Islam in two ways: 1- through subject 2- through epistemology and ontology. If the subject of a science is the behavior of Muslim people in an Islamic society, the result will be different even if the description and prediction method are as the same each other. It arises because the economic religion foundation of Islam, the Muslim intensive, ethics and Islamic law are different from capitalism. We should attribute the methodology of this science to Islam if its subject were not the economic behavior of Muslim people in an Islamic society. The economics methodology is based on ontology and epistemology of capitalism that is different from the principle of Islam. If we can define a method based on epistemology and ontology in Islam and different from conventional economics then it can be asserted that Islamic economics will be universal. Islamic economics can describe, explicate and predict the matters in Islamic and non-Islamic societies via this method. But the different result will be the case when this method applies in Islamic and non-Islamic societies.
