Contemporary Islamic economic studies on Maqasid Shari’ah: a systematic literature review

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to come-up with a systematic exertion on Maqasid Shari’ah in Islamic economics, banking and finance, with a clear focus on forming an appropriate and novel framework that identifies the effort of contemporary scholars and detects the existing gap that might possibly champion new research commitments. Design/methodology/approach A systematic approach to literature review was steered through the means propagated by the Centre for Reviews and Disseminations (DSR), but modified to the precise requirements of this review. Google Scholar was searched throughout the passage. The search criteria are confined to English documents that are within the period of 2006-2016. Articles that did not score or did not convince that the subject of Maqasid Shari’ah has been applied in Islamic economy, Islamic banking, Islamic finance, Islamic financing products and economic development are excluded. Appropriate search keys are used to gather better results. Findings The findings inform that contemporary scholars show a robust commitment to the themes of the result during the stated period. The outcome reveals that contemporary scholars designate more interest and attention on Islamic banking and expose their potential specialty in the expanse than other themes. The study further highlighted the gap of some significant areas that are either outside the coverage of the reviewed documents or require more attention from contemporary scholars, for instance, wealth formation and management, wealth consumption, socioeconomic security, risk management, corporate governance, management policy, human resource development, prohibition of Riba, profit and loss sharing (PLS), etc. Research limitations/implications The paper is limited to contemporary aspects of Islamic economics, banking, finance and economic development that have a link with the subject of Maqasid Shari’ah. Practical implications A review of these scholarly reported documents has the potential to draw attention toward filling the existing gap that will likely result in salvation of current issues on the subject of Maqasid Shari’ah that has a direct association with Islamic economy, banking and finance. Originality/value The paper is original in its nature considering the fact that it is assumed as the maiden attempt of its kind in the field. It is a treasure to all those who may cherish and find it relevant in their progressive and rounded convention or application on the matter.

Islamic corporate governance and performance based on maqasid sharia index– study in Indonesia

“…When viewed in terms of language, maqasid sharia means the purpose of the implementation of Sharia-Islamic law (Mukhibad, 2019;Soleh, 2016). The purpose of Sharia is to improve the welfare of the community by protecting its faith (din), lust (nafs), reason ('aql), descent (nasi), and wealth (mal) (Asutay & Harningtyas, 2015;Mohammad & Shahwan, 2013;Mohammed et al, 2015a;Rusydiana, 2016;Shinkafi, Ali, & Choudhury, 2017;Sutrisno;Widarjono, 2017;Syafii et al, 2012;Tarique & Ahmed, 2017).…”

Maqasid al Shariah and Stakeholders’ Wellbeing in Islamic Banks: A Proposed Framework

“…However, the extant literature is limited in several ways. Shinkafi and Ali (2017) conducted a systematic review of the literature on Maqasid al Shariah in Islamic economics, finance, and banking with the aim of integrating the research efforts and highlighting the research gaps. Scholars found that an important concentration apparent within the extant literature is the overwhelming focus on the Islamic banks' performance using Maqasid-based model.…”

“…The holistic view of the socio economic objectives for the formation of balanced society, makes the Islamic banking much more than just an institution based on the principle of interest prohibition and conforming to the legal requirements and technicalities of products and services for Shariah compliance (Haron & Hisham, 2003;Hassan & Musa, 2003;Jan, Ullah, & Asutay, 2015;Nouman & Ullah, 2014;Shinkafi & Ali, 2017;Siddiqui, 1985;Siddiqui, 2001). In the wake of achieving the socio economic objectives, the main concern of Islamic banking is to create enduring balance between profit motive and social wellbeing for the betterment of the whole society (Ahmed, 2000;Al-Omar & Abdel-Haq, 1996;Haron, 1995).…”

The Spiritual Values of Islamic Economics in Tasawuf Modern: Scrutinizing the Work of Haji Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah (Hamka)

“…Islamic economy is a system based on Islamic ethical values (Aliyu & Aini, 2017;Haniff et al, 2018;Nawaz, 2019;Sahin, 2018). Despite different conceptions and points of emphasis among Muslim economists in this field, they agree that normative and ethical values of Islam are inseparable from the realm of the discipline of economics (Hafas et al, 2020;Hasan, 2020).…”
