Economic thought is defined as research, theory and economic troubleshooting methods for ideas and efforts from Islamic scholars based on the benefits and syara’. The flourish of the Islamic economic thought discussion began since the early period of Prophet Muhammad SAW because one of the aspects in the al-Quran and al-Sunnah is about economy. With the expansion of Islamic civilization, the discussion regarding economy was flourish as well, especially with the emergence of the fiqh scholars and the sects of fiqh. Fiqh scholars were one of the people who played vital roles in expressing ideas based on naqli and aqli propositions, in addition of arranging discussions in regard to economics.
