English Abstract

This paper proposes a tentative about a strategic vision for research in Islamic Economics.

It identifies the current state of the world economic scene, and argues that the world is in a state of disarray.

It needs a reform agenda to correct the imbalances and create a healthy atmosphere that lays the ground for a solid platform upon which the betterment of mankind can be attained.

It goes on to argue further that Islamic Economics (IE) can be a viable paradigm.

This is because IE incorporates values that are endurable, universal and suitable for the whole human race.

However, the task is not easy and the road ahead is cumbersome.

Unless IE is ready for the task by addressing the problems of mankind regardless of faith color and race, and making the necessary adjustments from within to build on what has been achieved in the Islamic world and from other parts of the world as well, the task might not be accomplished effectively.

The proposed research agenda has to be carried out in an innovative and creative way.

Hence the paper identifies some of the shortcomings that the current and previous literature in IE suffers from, and tries to answer specific questions relating to research quality, new generation of researchers in IE and the mobilization of funds.
