The concluding section of the book features a brief critique by Rafiq Yunus (the author of the first article) regarding the perspective of Mohammad Abrash (the author of the second article). Rafiq Yunus challenges Abrash's perspective on the relationship between Western and Islamic thought, asserting that, contrary to Abrash's claims, these two schools of thought have interacted and that the West has benefited from Islamic intellectual traditions. Additionally, the analysis of Islamic and Western economies reveals several advantageous insights, including an understanding of how Western economic practices have been informed by Islamic teachings and scholars, an exploration of the differences and unique characteristics of the two economic philosophies, and a dedicated effort towards the establishment of an Islamic economic framework (pp. 186-187). | The concluding section of the book features a brief critique by Rafiq Yunus (the author of the first article) regarding the perspective of Mohammad Abrash (the author of the second article).
