| Summary: | This paper is aimed at presenting a set of solution for current muslim communities 'limited
economic performance on entrepreneurial ideas. Library research is applied in this paper
to do so. Firstly this paper oversees the nature of entrepreneurship and its development
through Islamic teaching and history. Secondly it discusses current condition in Islamic
countries regarding their economic performance, cooperation and ,further challenges.
Thirdly it deals with the efforts to initiate entrepreneurship in Islamic communities mainly
through academic process provided by higher education institutions. The results suggest
that entrepreneurship has played important roles in economic development since primarily
entrepreneurs are able to implement new ideas to work. Islam has also put great
attention to entrepreneurship as seen in the Holy Koran verses and Prophet teachings.
Nowadays,Muslims live more individualistically; each of them live in very different
conditions based on their economic achievement with very limited cooperation among
them. Some challenges arise to improve their competitiveness to attract investment as well
as cooperation among them. Higher education institutions in Muslim-majority countries
are expected to initiate Islamic entrepreneurship through their curricula to prepare
young entrepreneur Muslim generations that could give direct contributions to stimulate
business. |
