<i>'. . . an innovative and carefully constructed attempt to set forth a theory of justice, taxation, public finance and accountability, governance and corruption grounded in Islamic teachings. . . This book by Iqbal and Lewis is undoubtedly a valuable contribution in its field'</i>
- Abul Hassan, The Muslim World Book Review,
<i>'The book makes a valuable contribution to the topic of governance, greatly enriching the existing literature on governance from an Islamic perspective. It will be much appreciated and encourage further research and scholarly reflection on a very important matter that has for too long been neglected.'</i>
- Zulkifli Hasan, Review of Islamic Economics,
<i>'The authors have undertaken innovative research to examine the Islamic and contemporary western concepts, institutions, processes and traditions about governance: public, corporate, financial and fiscal. This study breathes fresh air into the debate on some of the critical issues of positive economics by exploring new linkages of governance with normative goals, ethical frameworks and egalitarian policy initiatives.'</i>
- Khurshid Ahmad, Member Senate of Pakistan,
<i>'This book is a major contribution to governance under an Islamic System; thoroughly researched, very clearly written and organised, it is an extremely significant contribution particularly in the context of current turmoil in financial markets and the possible means of assisting financial and economic stabilisation from an Islamic perspective.'</i>
