Lack of theory is among the main challenges of Islamic social sciences. Some experts have attempted to theorize by suggesting philosophical and methodological subjects. The book “Theorizing in Islamic Economy, Analyzing the Possibility of scientific Theorizing in Islamic Economy and its Methodology” is written by Hassan Agha Nazari for active students and researchers in Islamic Economy. In this book, the author strives to employ both the theories of philosophy of science, Islamic science philosophy, and Islamic teachings to produce a theory in Islamic Economy. This article describes and evaluates the main idea of the book, namely the method of scientific theorization of Islamic Economy. In spite of the critiques of form and content, it is advisable that major modifications be required in the form and content of the book in the subsequent editions. Moreover, by drawing on the latest developments in the philosophy of science, Islamic science philosophy, and Islamic teachings, it can make a robust theorization in Islamic economy.
