Recenzje

"The goal of this volume is to provide thought-provoking discussion regarding the moral and ethical corners of the labor market under the guidance of divine law. This volume also reviewed the labor market's behavior during the early Islamic, medieval and current periods. It invites the researcher to start their research on the Islamic labor market's different dimensions and asks them to develop mathematical models based on the theoretical foundations, which provides a roadmap for further discussion and empirically tests them where data are available." — Professor Dr. Mohamed Aslam Mohamed Haneef, Department of Economics, International Islamic University Malaysia.
