<p>Dr. Muhammad Hamidullah was a genius and prolific writer. <span>Anyone who has an interest in the Qur’ans translation, Hadith literature </span><span>International Islamic Law, Islamic Politics and archival heritage of Islam </span><span>cannot ignore Dr. Hamidullah’s contributions. He started writings on the </span><span>subject of Islamic Economics as early as the 1930s. He was a pioneer in Islamic </span><span>economics and many firsts in this subject belong to him. For instance: interest free </span><span>financial institutions in the modern period, advocacy of mutuality as the </span><span>basis for Islamic insurance, mutuality based Islamic finance and proposal for </span><span>establishment of international interest-free monetary fund. He also critiques </span><span>current systems and offers an alternative. His works are also a rich source </span><span>of Islamic economic history. None of his contemporaries in the first half of </span><span>twentieth century had written on such a diverse aspect of the subject.</span></p>
