The art of islamic banking and finance: tools and techniques for community-based banking

The Art of Islamic Banking and Finance is a modern take on what it means to incorporate Islamic finance principles into everyday banking and investment techniques. The author explores the concept of Riba (or interest) and how Islamicfinance rules prohibit the use of interest in banking techniques. He discusses how this rule works, how it affects consumer behavior, and how it changes the role of the banker/financier. The Art of Islamic Banking and Finance also includes a discussion on the culture of Islamic finance today (the rules versus reality), as well as a number of case studies done in Malaysia and the UK. Thebook also covers joint ventures, asset and portfolio management, home mortgages, personal financing, and the equity markets (the fastest growing market within Islamic finance). Finally, the author shows the readers how to incorporatethe Sharia into the American financing and banking systems while still obeying both Islamic and American laws.
