DESCRIPTION:
Book Assessment The book does not provide deep enough background on the origins and philosophy of so called Islamic banking, particularly since banking as we know it did not exist in the days of the Prophet.The extrapolation from financing camel caravans to managing mutual funds just stretches credibilityAs for the modern part, it strives to give an Islamic gloss to what are purely Western banking and financial concepts.All in all, a disappointing book
"This book explains the fundamental principles of an economic and financial system governed by Sharia Islamic law." (Finance, Marketing & Distribution, August 2007)
Mohammad Nejatullah Siddiqi, Professor of Economics, Islamic Economics Research Center, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah (Retired). The authors, two of the best known authorities in Islamic economics, finance and banking, also incorporate valuable examples and practical discussions that will offer better understanding of this emerging market. This makes An Introduction to Islamic Finance one of the best books on the topic so far." --Dr. The authors should be congratulated for their insightful and practical contribution." --Professor Rifaat Ahmed Abdel Karim, Secretary-Gen
