Futuwwatnamas are accepted as the reference sources of the belief principles and moral understanding of the Akhi institution. These documents contain the moral rules that Muslims are expected to obey both in their daily life and business life and have gained an important place in the economic life of Islamic-Turkish societies for centuries. Based on this fact, the purpose of this study is to examine futuwwa documents in terms of the principles of Islamic economic thought. Accordingly, the potential of futuwwa as a source for Islamic economics is discussed, after which the basic principles of Islamic economics are put forth through Islamic sources by examining how these issues have been included in the futuwwatnamas.
