This paper aims to discuss more deeply about Islamic economics through a philosophical review and compare it with Western Economics. This study used the literature research method, how Islamic economics was formed with philosophical foundations starting from etymology, ontology and epistemology as well as the development and comparison of Islamic economic theory and other theories. This study reveals that the thing that distinguishes Islamic economics from other economics is the economic approach, both to fellow humans and to the creator (God), in contrast to other economic systems that prioritize profit or individual interests. Philosophy can be said to be in line with the Islamic economic system where in short philosophy has the meaning of love of wisdom which implies giving goodness to others.
