<i>’Mohamed Ariff and Munawar Iqbal have put together a significant and useful body of productive thinking that will be of use to both academics and practitioners. . . This book is a very good collection of scholarly papers, well worth reading and reflecting upon. It will undoubtedly help students, academics and practitioners to improve their understanding of Islamic financial institutions and Islamic financial markets. It will be equally useful to specialists in economics, finance, money and banking because it combines a comprehensive discussion of theoretical aspects of the Islamic financial market with very rigorous empirical analysis.’</i>
- Toseef Azid, The Muslim World Book Review,
Expert contributors - including eminent scholars and senior practitioners in the field - examine the roots of the principles of ethical Islamic financial transactions, which have evolved over several millennia, on issues including usury, interest rates, and financial contracting for funding enterprises, mortgages, leasing and other transactions. Regulatory and governance issues are discussed, and the practice and operation of Islamic financial institutions are explained via three distinct case studies. Importantly, the final chapter looks at what steps are being taken to provide professional accreditation to Islamic banking professional personnel, and prescribes requirements for training in this growing industry.
This rich and wide-ranging guide to the foundations and fundamental principles of this new form of ethics-based financial practice will prove a fascinating and illuminating read for regulators, practitioners, and scholars in the fields of economics, finance, money and banking.
