Abstract
Islamic economists state that a society must have equality and fairness to achieve economic justice, and they enjoin various prohibitions, restrictions, obligations, and responsibilities to achieve such equal and fair conditions. Islamic economists incorrectly believe Islamic injunctions to be unambiguous guidelines for achieving economic justice; they do not even agree on what the Islamic injunctions are. Economic justice is not the only goal of contemporary Islamic economics. There exists no consensus on the requirements of Islamic economic justice or on the compromises necessary to achieve such a goal.
