Rationalism is one of the philosophical schools originated from Greek Civilization. Two prominent scholars developed the theory, namely Plato and Aristotle.

To obtain a clear answer, the study used thematic analysis to identify, categorize, and report the qualitative data related to the study. The finding says that rationalism has been adopted by Indonesia when it used either capitalism or socialism in the development of economic in Indonesia. The existence of Islamic economics in Indonesia gives a new paradigm of the method in understanding and solve the economic problem by using ratio in the framework of Islamic revelation.

Therefore, Islamic banks, besides looking for profits, are also expected to contribute to improving the welfare and economic level of the people.

Islamic banks, as if carried away, focused on seeking profits by ignoring the underlying philosophy. This can be seen from the various products offered, which are dominated by Murabaha products. Does the basic philosophy of Islamic banking have to be maintained like an idealized concept that is doctrines or should it be modified with a more pragmatic approach? This paper tries to analyze the philosophy of Islamic banking in terms of theory and practice in real terms in sharia banking activities that have been carried out so far.

However, there was many books written related to Islamic economics in the history of Islamic civilization, especially in the period of Abbasid caliphate. The fact, development of knowledge in Islamic medieval had established the epistemology of Islamic economics itself. Moreover, the epistemology is a study of the theory of knowledge, the source of knowledge, the application of knowledge and limitation of knowledge. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the contribution of earlier Muslim thinkers to the source of Islamic economics and to identify the epistemology of Islamic economics as proposed by the Muslim thinkers in medieval period. As a result, this paper will propose the epistemology of Islamic economics by integrating Islamic heritage and modern economics that is not conflict with Islamic principles and values. To achieve its objectives; this study employs qualitative research by applying content and descriptive analysis. The finding of this study is that the earlier Muslim thinkers have contributed to the construction of epistemology in Islamic economics. Then, to construct the genuine of Islamic economics, tawhid must be put as a core of Islamic economic epistemology that directs the sources of knowledge which are rooted firstly from revealed and then rational knowledge by using appropriate methods
