Abstract :The founder mind of the Eurocentric movement, which realized a major transformation along with the route consisting of the Renaissance, Reform, Enlightenment and Industrial Revolution and which we call the modern era today, placed earthly prosperity in the main axis and the Economy as its provider. This huge transformation and shiny image had either direct or indirect impact on the remaining territory of the world. In this aspect, the Islamic landscape like many other landscapes spent the last two centuries faltering and continuously losing altitude in the face of this new rising power and engaged in numerous discussions to understand this process and tried to save the day with various improvements. However, the loss in altitude has been inescapable. One of the areas open to discussion and reforms was the economy – in fact the modern world has structured itself on this political and ideological structure – while in Islamic geographical areas, the powers of fragmented geographies displayed impulsive solutions in order to understand the rising west and catch up with them. On the other hand, efforts were being spent to eliminate the concern regarding differences of the western paradigms mainly on civil platforms. The concern regarding ability to maintain an Islamic lifestyle in the modern world, which had mostly started on civilian platforms, generated the necessity to discuss economic relations that are part of daily lives within the framework of the new world. As the debates in the area of economy progressed, various ideas started to emerge. In this study, we have endeavored to assess these debates that were propagated within a historical process from the perspective of Sabahattin Zaim who is one of first scholars in Turkey in the area of Islamic economy
