Abstract: he present study reports and analyzes economic ideas of Muslim scholars upto the end of 9th/15th century. It also discusses various channels through which their ideas reached the European West and influenced the scholastic scholars. Thus, they formed the connecting link between Greek philosophers and scholastic economists and became one of the ancestors of modern economics and part of its family tree. The paper addresses students and historians of economic thought. It provides materials that could be used to make up existing deficiency – the great gap – in the literature on the history of economic thought. It also aims to provide support for those who are in search of common grounds in sciences and culture for mutual understanding and inter-civilization dialogue. The contributions of Muslim scholars to economic thought and analysis have been briefly noted and lengthy quotations have been avoided to enlist and accommodate maximum number of scholars. I have adopted an eclectic approach in this study and hope that this would generate curiosity among the readers to further investigate and carry deep and detailed study of the works of past scholars. It may also draw their attention to the works of Muslim scholars in later centuries that largely remain unexplored.
