Unlimited human wants: The critical view from Islamic economics perspective

Abstract

This study explores the assumption of unlimited human wants in Islamic economics. From the theoretical approach, this research introduces new ideas of limitless human will. Islamic economists took the assumption of unlimited human wants (AUHW) and then altered and assimilated it with Islamic elements to be regarded as the assumption of Islamic economics. The question is, does AUHW's assumption embrace Islamic economics? If suits, what are the theories of the assumption of unlimited human wants parallel to Islamic? Data used were taken from library studies. For this reason, contents and textual analyses were used. This study found that AUHW 's assertion was parallel to Islamic economics. This study explores a new approach to assessing limitless human desires in Islamic context. Our contributions are confined to this field. Future works may offer unique viewpoints on infinite human needs spanning various geographies. This study offers a new parameter for Muslims to handle Islam-based tools. This study presents a new measure of Muslims discussing of unlimited human wants.
