Abstract
After the period of the reform that lasts from 1812-1903, the Muslims became
uncomfortable with the changes brought about by the colonialist in the
economic system. This study observed the level to which the Muslim
attitudes were influence by the capitalist ideas of exploitation, extortion,
fraudulence, interest and free market.It analyzed closely the concept of social
justice, contracts, labour, enterprise and entrepreneur, loans acquisition and
usury. Islam maintained that in every aspect of life, there can be only one
choice between lawful, and forbidden, and nothing in between. A total
number of six hundred (600) respondents formed the sample population
selected randomly from five selected local government areas in Gombe state,
by using the simple random sampling technique. And the instruments used for
the data collection were questionnaire and interview, while frequency and
percentage were employed in the analysis of the data collected. The finding
strongly confirmed the presence of capitalist influence on Muslim attitudes in
their socio-economic activities consciously or subliminally. It revealed that
most Muslims found it difficult to restrain themselves from Haram and they
failed to observe at every step of their earnings, the distinction between Halal
and Haram. In conclusion, there is a necessity for the Muslim leaders
(spiritual and temporal) as well as the society at large to re-organize our socioeconomic
system.
