Assumption of Unlimited Want in Islamic Economics in the Context of Islamic Tasawur

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine if the assumptions of Islamic economics are compatible with the concept of Islamic Tasawur. The assumption here is an unlimited human wants. Islamic economic philosophical pillars have been borrowed from Western or conventional economics, then Islamized and converted into an Islamic philosophy. This research is using qualitative method and the data will be analyze using ATLAS.ti software. As a result, mainstream Islamic economic scholars' assumption of resource scarcity and unlimited human wants can not be generally accepted because it differs slightly from the Qur'an and Hadith in the core. In conclusion, it is important to discuss the Islamic economic assumptions that are parallel to the Islamic Tasawur.
