Islamic Perspectives And Class Interests

Ziaul Haque

Chapter 4 in Islamic Economic Alternatives, 1992, pp 105-116 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The problems of economic retardation, general poverty, and political instability in Muslim societies are exacerbated by the blatant manipulation of Islamic ideology. This ideology is based on vague notions and medieval categories of thought articulated in servile subservience to foreign capital. The basic aim of the ‘Islamisation’ process, as will be substantiated in the course of the following discussion, is to justify the existing economic relationships and the status quo by obfuscating the immediate socio-economic problems of the masses.
