Islamic Banking and Finance

Islamic finance is founded on principles that constitute the guidelines governing any Islamic economic or financial dealings. Innovative financial engineering today constitutes one of the most critical needs of Islamic financial institutions. It represents the forces that will drive Islamic finance toward continuous growth and efficiency. The structuring of new financing and Shariah-complaint instruments plays an important role in the enhancement of Islamic financial markets, and Islamic risk management practices, combining basic Shariah-complaint financial instruments within Shariah structures to precise identified needs. The financial engineering process in Islamic finance is a process that is very sensitive and complex. It requires multidisciplinary considerations, involving deep knowledge of finance, economy, Shariah law and commercial law. Divergence of opinions among different Shariah scholars and boards, as well as the absence or lack of effectiveness of a central regulatory body, is perceived as an obstacle to the growth of investment confidence in Islamic finance. Hence, innovation, along with greater uniformity, is essential to make Islamic finance an international financial system and to attract a greater number of customers. This book addresses the main issues of concern within Islamic banking, namely the development of conceptual framework, the viability of interest-free banking, and the assessment of its performance and future. In a world where conventional interest-based finance is the dominant framework, Islamic banking faces many challenges that must be addressed. This book discusses these issues and challenges and will be of great interest to both researchers and practitioners. It analyses the past experiences of Islamic banks worldwide, and provides an objective assessment of their successes and failures.

Media Agenda-Setting and Framing in the Second Gulf War

This book will appeal to media and communication and public opinion researchers. It is a corpus-based study of the agenda-setting and framing effects of the print media on public opinion, and examines US and UK newspapers’ use of reporting strategies to shape their readers’ attitude towards the Second Gulf War. These strategies consist of four analytic tools, namely discourse presentation categories, discourse presentation sub-categories, subjectivity markers and reporting signals (mainly verbs). This investigation reveals that the choice of reporting strategies is not only ideologically-driven, but is also highly determined by other parameters such as country, style, and genre.

Sistem Pemerintahan Iran Modern : Konsep Wilayatul Faqih Imam Khomeini sebagai Teologi dalam Relasi Agama dan Demokrasi

Iran adalah sebuah negara republik teokratis dan pusat Islam Syi’ah. Dulu, Iran lebih dikenal dengan nama Persia. Pada abad ke-7, bangsa Arab masuk ke Iran dan memperkenalkan Islam. Pada masa Dinasti Safawi (1502—1736), Islam Iran menjadi Islam Syi’ah hingga kini.

Pemegang kekuasaan ini disebut Wali al-Faqih atau rahbas (Persia=’pemimpin’). Wali al-faqih pertama adalah almarhum Ayatullah Khomeini (1979—1989). Selanjutnya, jabatan ini dijabat oleh Ayatullah Ali Khomeini. Akan tetapi, seorang Wali al-Faqih tidak duduk dalam jajaran dewan eksekutif, melainkan lebih bersifat sebagai pembimbing atau pengontrol.

Bukan berasal dari Barat, yang sangat kapitalis, bukan pula demokrasi yang diterapkan di timur, yang telah melakukan penindasan kepada rakyat jelata.218 Dalam penjelasannya Khomeini menegaskan, bahwa rakyat memiliki otoritas dalam ...
