Objectives of macroeconomics from Islamic perspective?
1. social justice
- based on the principle that all the exists in the Universe belongs to Allah. Man, being God's vicegerent on earth have been granted the ownership of this bounties. He must therefore use whatever is given to him as a trustee and not as an absolute owner.
- Islam insist on a powerful built-in income-redistribution mechanism; nevertheless some income inequality is allowed since it promotes individual initiative.
- social justice in Islam is rooted in Man's faith. A man of faith automatically has a duty to do justice. Income redistribution, voluntary or compulsory, is not only an economic necessity,but also a means to spiritual salvation.
- the concepts rests on its value of maximizing human happiness. In Islam, happiness not come so much from the possession of material goods but from contentment and gratitude.
2. Universal Education
- acquisition o knowledge is compulsory. Man's claim to superiority over all creations is based on this superior knowledge.
- every child, irrespective of his birth, must receive an equal opportunity to education.
- universal education must be subsidized (or free of charge) so that education is available to equalize man who are endowed differently in terms of wealth and property.
3. Optimal Rate of Economic Growth
- growth in an Islamic economy is comprehensive and include moral, spiritual and material aspects of man's life. In terms of capital formation, it include human capital and material capital.

The nature and scope of microeconomics is specified to a particular economy. This means that it does not focus on too much risk as compared to macroeconomics which looks at the entire economy.
Potential growth refers to the maximum capacity an economy can grow at, it is always greater than actual growth because an economy cannot realistically function at full capacity. By full capacity i mean full employment, using all resources the most efficient way.
Technically there shouldn't be any macroeconomic problems resulting from that because actual growth is always below potential growth, but if it gets further away then it could eventually lead to a recession.

the desciion of the US congress to lower the federal income tax rate
This disagreement stems from differing views on government intervention in the economy. Policy activism requires that the monetary and fiscal policy be used in such a way as to improve the economy. This type of reasoning dates back to Keynes, who believed that the economy sometimes needs government help to avoid stagnation. Policy rules require instead that the government use such things as a constant-growth-rate policy so as to accommodate economic growth, but not to attempt to stimulate it. In other words, the economy is best left to its own devices, and government intervention causes more problems than it solves.
