Economic Doctrines of Islam: A Study in the Doctrines of Islam and their Implications for Poverty, Employment and Economic Growth In this book, Dr. Irfan Ul Haq examines the primary sources of Islam to extract and formalize from them the Islamic economic doctrines as well as the sociopolitical framework which guides the development of society. In particular, emphasis is placed on the problems of poverty, unemployment and lack of human resource development. What the study suggests is that if Islam is properly studied through an idealistic-rational integrated methodology and understood in its spirit and purposes, it reveals a core set of permanent values and principles that form, the fixed dimension of Islam which then are applicable to virtually all human situations of society, polity, and economy in all space-and-time. It is this in-built dynamism of Islam, demonstrated here with historical examples, that is utilized in approaching and providing solutions to contemporary economic problems and issues. Irfan Ul Haq Dr. Haq was born in Bangladesh on 26 Dhu al Hijjah 1372 AH/ 6 September 1953 AC. He received his B.A. in Economics from the University of Karachi in 1974, as well as his M.A. in Economics in 1976.

He was written, published, and participated in a number of conferences on various aspects of Islamic Economics.

He has also been appointed as Adjunct Faculty at the University of Phoenix from 1993 to present. (1995)
