Abstract

Almost all Islamic economists agree that Islamic Economic (IE) study is supposed to be derived holistically from Shari’ah that portrays all good values and undoubtedly leading towards sustainability. However, quite a number of Islamic Economists believe that such presupposed, deep connections between the existing IE models and sustainability values do not stand out until today due to many problems and challenges. This paper hypothesizes that the main challenge or problem is because of the improper development of its philosophical foundations. Hence, it first adopts short survey of literature review technique from the vast web research coming from Dimensions and Scopus platforms to confirm the hypothesis. Later, the paper utilizes future study analysis to analyse the desired future which is to establish IE model consisting of strong connection with sustainability axiological values from Shari’ah and its necessary steps to be taken by the researchers of this discipline to achieve it.
