After barely half a century of experience, Islamic banking has
become established as a new niche industry across the world,
offering new and sophisticated financial products designed to be
compliant with Islamic legal principles and common law. This
comprehensive book explores the theory, principles and practices
underpinning this rapidly expanding sector of banking. 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. Contributors: I. Abraham, S.O. Alhabshi, S.H.
