The glorious history of the Islamic economy

Since the days of the Prophet Muhammad, Islam's economy has been running almost around the Arabian peninsula even to Africa is characterized by groups or tribes in the Arabian time enter into transactions or trade it for months, because in Islam there is no prohibition for a Muslim toisriis and related trade with non-Muslims. But Islam also has ethical principles in the conduct of Islam, one of which is permitted trade and forbidden usury (interest) is contained in the Qur'an.
 In the history of Islam, economic freedom is guaranteed by various legal systems and traditions. Prophet Muhammad was not ready to set a price, even at that prices are soaring, as it is based on the principle of voluntary bargaining in the trade that allows the imposition of certain ways that sellers of their goods at a price lower than the market price. During those changes are caused by real factors in supply and demand that are not accompanied by a push-doronganmonopolik (single agent) and monopsonik (the sole shareholder). After the Prophet Muhammad, Muslims still maintain the principle of freedom which always carried the Prophet, even the concept of moral behavior in the market.
 During the first few centuries of the Hegira, a number of experts to write books about the role and obligations of market operators. Themes contained in all these is the preservation of freedom in the market and elimination of monopolistic elements (structured monopoly). The principles defended by many Muslim judge, even to threaten legal system itself by removing the right to intervene in cases of monopoly. Based on this, Islam does not approve of if there is a social organization and social welfare plan when any organization / institution is pressing individuals and bind them with social authority, so that they are independent personalities will be lost, and most of them become mere machine or tool in the hands of the few.
