For Muslims, it is axiomatic that the Quran contains wisdom far beyond the collected strivings of all humankind for knowledge. The Quran itself states that:
10:58 (Asad) Say: "In this [the Quran] bounty of God and in His grace, then, let them [the Muslims] rejoice: it is better than all that they [those who reject God] may amass!"
Our goal in this lecture is to show that Islamic teachings related to economic affairs contain far greater wisdom than what is currently being taught at vast majority of economics departments in leading universities throughout the world.
