It is a well-known fact that conventional commercial banks provide
financial intermediation services on the basis of interest rates on
assets and liabilities. However, since interest is prohibited in
Islam, Islamic banks have developed several other modes through
which savings are mobilized and passed on to entrepreneurs, none of
which involve interest.Islamic Banking and Finance discusses
Islamic financial theory and practice, and focuses on the
opportunities offered by Islamic finance as an alternative method
of financial intermediation. Key features of profit-sharing (as
opposed to debt-based) contracts are highlighted, and the ways in
which they can facilitate improved efficiency and stability of a
financial system are explored. The authors illustrate that in
addition to some 200 Islamic banks operating in Muslim as well as
non-Muslim countries, some of the biggest multinational banks are
now offering Islamic financial products. This book will fascinate
students, researchers and academics with a special interest in
comparative banking, middle-eastern studies and international
finance, and will also appeal to practitioners of banking and
finance.
