Abstract
The scope of Islam, according to the Qur’an (16:89), extends to all aspects of human life, before, during and after his existence on earth. For instance, Islam provides solutions to socio-economic problems of human being. The Qur’an and sunnah (traditions of the Prophet) are loaded with statements that deal with economic issues. Relying on those provisions, Muslim scholars have made valuable and laudable contributions to the economic thought of the world which has remained not only a system but a balanced one that promises economic prosperity. Following the 1976 Jeddah international conference on Islamic economics, the subject, since then, has attracted attentions of many writers on various aspect of the system. Many academic research centers have also emerged to revive Islamic economics and/or Islamize the conventional ones as parts of their agenda. In addition, some Universities have incorporated Islamic Economics and Finance in their curriculum. However, in Nigeria, attempt to introduce Islamic economics turns out to bea bone of contention which leads to arguments and counterarguments for and against the motion. Perhaps, this is a motivating factor for Ibn Shuaib Al-Jiyali to write various poetic verses on different aspects of Islamic Economics. It is against this background that this paper wants to critically examine his submission on economic world views. Using descriptive analysis, the paper recommends full implementation of Islamic economy to contribute to economic prosperity.
