A trillion dollar financial industry is revolutionising the global
economy. Governments and corporations across the Islamic world are
increasingly turning to finance that complies with Sharia law in
order to fund economic growth. Even in the West, Islamic finance is
rapidly becoming an important alternative source of funding at a
time when the conventional finance industry is reeling from the
effects of the financial crisis. From its origins in the seventh
century, Islamic finance has sought to develop core ethical
principles that are based in the foundations of Islam and Shari'a.
By engaging critically with the complexities of international
finance, it has evolved and adapted into a world emerging from the
economic and moral aftermath of a global financial crisis. But with
an increasing Western interest, is it able to remain true to the
principles of its faith? Can it maintain its ideals of social
justice? Or is Islamic finance guilty of the very dangers it seeks
to avoid? In Heaven's Bankers, Harris Irfan, one of the world's
leading Islamic finance bankers, gives unparalleled insight into
the heart of this secretive industry. From his personal experience
of working with leading bankers, scholars and lawyers, he debunks
the myths of Islamic banking, analyses its greatest deals and looks
to the future of a system that has reprioritised the very nature of
money itself.
