The Meaning of the Term Iqtishodia

Etymologically, the word “iqtishad” (Arabic: اقتصاد) is derived from the root “qashada – yaqshudu – qashdan” (قصد), which signifies a middle path, fairness, equilibrium, rectitude, and balance (al-wasthu baina al-tharfaini —the midpoint between two extremes).

In modern Arabic, the term *iqtishad* is commonly translated as "economy" or "economics" (al-iqtishadiyah).

The selection of the term "Iqtishodia" to represent the concept of economics is based on the principle that sound economic activity must be efficient and proportional, while maintaining a balance between production, consumption, supply, and demand.
