Our Economy (اقتصادنا, Iqtisaduna) is a foundational work on Islamic economics by the celebrated Shia cleric and martyr (shahid) Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr.[1]
The book was written in Arabic between 1960 and 1961, and published in 1982. It was al-Sadr's main work on economics and one of his most significant works, and still forms much of the basis for modern Islamic banking.[2][3] The first translation into English was done in 1982 by the Iranian government and after that the book was translated into German in 1984 by a young German orientalist.[1][4] Muhammad Baqir Al-Sadr was born in Kadhimiyeh, Baghdad in 1935.[1]
