About this ebook

Basic English for Islamic Economics is a comprehensive textbook designed to bridge the study of English language skills with the fundamental concepts of Islamic economics. It introduces students to essential vocabulary, reading passages, and dialogues centered around real contexts such as Islamic banking, sharia contracts, ethical business practices, and digital finance. Through thematic lessons and integrated grammar exercises, the book aims to enhance students’ communicative competence while simultaneously strengthening their understanding of economic principles rooted in Islamic values. Each chapter is carefully structured to balance linguistic accuracy, contextual relevance, and moral insight.

This textbook serves as an innovative pedagogical tool for university students and educators in the fields of Islamic economics and business English. It encourages learners to think critically, communicate ethically, and apply language in professional and academic settings. By combining linguistic development with ethical reflection, Basic English for Islamic Economics not only supports English proficiency but also nurtures students’ awareness of honesty, fairness, and social responsibility—core principles that underpin both language learning and Islamic economic thought.
