İslami Perspektifte Ekonomi Psikolojisi
Phychology of Economics from the Islamic Perspective

Summary/Abstract: It is of crucial importance that the main foundational requirements for a sustainable economic development which are technological productivity, resource efficiency, high tech know-how, cooperative business culture, division of labor and process optimization be set up by policies and institutional implementations. However, applicability of and willingness to basic principles such as ethical values, respect for rights of all creatures and freedom, helping to the ones in basic needs, complying with civil rules and working for goodness of humanity are important not only for sustainable economic development but also for welfare, human happiness and general weal. In this study, in order to define availability and applicability of basic principles of Islam that is said to have potentiality to provide welfare and comprehensive development by regulating psychological, social and economic relations, are investigated with the reference of Risale-i Nur, one of the main contemporary Koranic commentaries. Our main argument is that İslam has such principles and via research on psychological, economics and religion it is found to be possible by a firm belief rather than policies and institutional measures and therefore the psychological aspects have to be taken into consideration in the equation.
