The interest in fostering Islamic Economics needs to be installed earlier, beginning from primary school, junior, and senior high schools. Those are part of speech of Dr. Muniati Mukhlisin, M. Acc, the Chancellor of Tazkia Islamic Economics Academy, in her lecture during visit to Tazkia International Islamic Boarding School (IIBS), on Wednesday (11/6).

She explained, Islamic economics should be spreaded in all levels of society. This is a tenet that must be provided relentlessly in various ways from one country to another.

"Almost all around us are economic practises. Trading daily goods, loan, and so on should be based on Islamic economy that has been ruled in Quran," the doctor, alumnus of Glasgow University, United Kingdom, said.

Economic problems cannot be considered trivial, it is required deep understanding. In the long run, it will affect over all people's life. In some cases, it ruins household because of economical problems or debts.

Islamic economics principles, related with daily life, should be realised by all parties. Dr. Muniati described in front of all students that the way to comprehend it is to understand Al Quran, the Prophet life and practise.
