Abstract

This paper presents some ideas on the construction of a macro- distribution model of an Islamic economy. It introduces a model based on the concept that in the Islamic (in contrast to Muslim) society, most Muslims are propertied, though to different degrees, because of the application of zakah. This implies two important propositions. First, the study of distribution is inseparable from that of redistribution. Second, the distinction in saving behavior between "capitalists" and "laborers" becomes immaterial. --
