"[This is] a subject of such relevance and importance that one wonders why nobody else dealt with it in book form before."—Dr. Wilfried Hofmann
Muslim civilization has experienced a decline during the last five centuries after previously having undergone a long period of prosperity and comprehensive development. This raises a number of questions such as what factors enable Muslims to become successful during the earlier centuries of Islam and what led them to their present weak position. Is Islam responsible for this decline or are there some other factors which come into play? M. Umer Chapra provides an authoritative diagnosis and prescription to reverse this decline.
M. Umer Chapra is a research advisor at the Islamic Research and Training Institute of the Islamic Development Bank, Jeddah, and author of The Future of Economics and Islam and the Economic Challenge.

About the Author:
Dr. M. Umer Chapra is presently working as a research advisor at the Islamic Research and Training Institute (IRTI) of the Islamic Development Bank (IDB), Jeddah, after aving retired as senior economic advisor from the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency. He has published widely on Islamic Economics and Finance and is justly regarded as one of the pioneers of this subject.
Review:
"Dr Chapra has chosen a subject of such relevance and importance respectively that one wonders why nobody else dealt with it in book form before. (He) asks questions that most Muslims ask, while shying away from answering them." Dr. Wilfried Hofmann "This humane book is very well conceived and makes real progress towards achieving the laudable goals it advocates....each chapter plays an effective role in explaining the decline and, therefore, conceiving of ways to achieve reform." Prof. Robert Whaples
