The author, Dr. Abdul Azeem Islahi, has been closely associated with this Centre,
making a number of contributions including Economic Thought of Ibn al Qayyim,
published by the Centre in 1404/1984. In the work being presented now he has
collected quite a number of references. The subject, history of economic thought in
Islam, has yet to receive the attention it deserves. I hope this book will promote further
research in this area by drawing attention to the works available. We will appreciate
readers’ cooperation in supplying more information on the subject and making
suggestions relating to the bibliographies we are publishing.

PREFACE
In total one hundred eighty papers/articles/books have been listed*. The present
writer feels that the number of Islamic thinkers to be covered and works to be listed
may be larger. Any suggestion or entry sent to improve the bibliography and remove its
deficiencies will be appreciated.
I owe a special obligation to Dr. Muhammad Nejatullah Siddiqi who has been a
source of inspiration for me in compilation of this bibliography. I am thankful to Dr.
Ghazi Obaid Madani, former Director of Centre for Research in Islamic Economics and
now President, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, on whose initiative this work has
been done. I am also grateful to Dr. Mohamed Ali Elgari, the present Director of the
Centre, who took keen personal interest in bringing out this bibliography. Wa’l Hamdu
li’llahi Awwalan wa Akhiran.
