Public Duties in Islam: The Institution of the Hisba being an English translation of al-Hisba fi al-Islam by Ibn Taymiya is the exposition of the theory of hisba in the wider context of a just society and an efficient market economy. Al-Hisba is a moral as well as a socio-economic institution in Islam through which public life is regulated in such a way that a high degree of public morality is attained and the society is protected from bad workmanship, fraud, extortion and exploitation. The book spells out the different stipulations of the Quranic command of "amr bil ma'Ruf wanna 'anil-munkar" in lucid terms and is justifiably a treatise on sociology, political science and economics. It presents a wealth of material with penetrating insights for layman as well as modern economists and policy makers.
