Abstract

Timur Kuran's 1983 work titled 'Behavioral Norms In The Islamic Doctrine Of Economics' has several functional inaccuracies and misrepresentation. The work may appear to have been written without considering several relevant material that contradict Kuran's contentions. Islamic banking and economics has surged since Kuran's paper was published. This may be attributed to the rationality and effectiveness of Islamic banking, which is based on actual experiences of Muslim and non-Muslim nations and is supported by empirical proof.
