Abstract
Making the teaching of Islamic economics relevant to the challenges faced by the Islamic countries becomes crucial if the Islamic economics will take its place as a credible area of study field. I provide some suggestions in this regard. The first one is to adopt the newly emerged method of teaching the economy rather than economics as having been done by the CORE Econ group. Relatedly, preparing the students for the job market, the paper also draws the attention to some major tools and concepts. The second one is to orient the Islamic economics and finance program around the Maqasid and thus infusing development perspective into the program. Thirdly, I suggest to expose the students to an historical perspective of "Rise and Fall of Muslim Civilization" that would link the past to the current economic situation of Muslim countries. Lastly, it would be more effective to involve business players from the very beginning to help students in understanding the prevailing concepts in economy.
