This book presents the building blocks of Islamic economics as
meso-science, offering an in-depth study of the Qur’anic worldview
of the monotheistic unity of knowledge, which is the universal and
unique message of Tawhid in the Qur’an. This primal ontological
premise is formalised in an analytical approach that introduces and
unpacks the philosophical concepts of ontology, epistemology, and
phenomenology in relation to the Tawhidi methodological worldview. The
analysis of Qur’anic logical consistency is then cast in a
phenomenological perspective by applying the complete model of the
unity of knowledge of the Qur’an in a specific study of the Tawhidi
methodological approach to Islamic financial-economic theory. In doing
so, it tackles the problems of meso-economics given its
socio-scientific holism in world affairs. It hones in on the results
of the symbiotic modulation of evolutionary learning processes in the
world system of the unity of knowledge and its material embedding
across knowledge, and knowledge-induced space and time dimensions. The
author poses that Shari’ah is only partial in its scope, and
excludes an analytical methodological worldview. Shari’ah is thus
cast in the midst of a meso-socio-scientific absence of any
appertaining methodology. The book is a landmark work in the
conceptual and applied understanding of Tawhid as the methodological
worldview of the monotheistic unity of knowledge in the
meso-socio-scientific realm of ‘everything’, particularised to
Islamic economics. Adopting an inter-disciplinary view integrating
various fields, it challenges pervasive Western academic and
institutional thinking in terms of economics. It will be of interest
to students and researchers in Islamic economics, religious theory,
Islamic philosophy, development studies, and finance.
