Understanding Islamic Financial Services

Theory and Practice

Understanding Islamic Financial Services offers fresh insights on the Islamic financial system. The importance of this system cannot be underestimated. Experts expect that it is likely to sustain double digit growth globally over the next few years, and demand for professionals in the area has never been higher, both in the UK and around the world. While other texts on the subject look at the basic concepts, principles, contracts and financial products used in Islamic banking and finance, Understanding Islamic Financial Services goes one step further and provides a new context, identifying four levels on which the Islamic Financial system operates: product level, institution level, market level and inter-market level. It considers Islamic banking and finance as a multi-level service system, an approach which will enable students and professionals of Islamic finance to gain a more in-depth, holistic understanding of how the system functions. Understanding Islamic Financial Services covers contemporary developments in service science (e.g. service theories, service visualization tools and service co-creation concepts) and implications for the development and sustainability of Islamic financial services. Examples from practice enliven the text and allow the reader to relate the theories and principles discussed to current practice.

ISLAMIC LAW AND GOVERNANCE

THEORY AND PRACTICE : DISPELLING MISUNDERSTANDING AND MISAPPLICATION OF ISLAMIC LAW AND ITS SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE

Many in the West think that they know about Islamic law and its system of governance. But they are victims of the illusion of knowledge. They receive false knowledge from Islamophobics who refuse to acquire or acknowledge true knowledge. Misapplication of Islamic law and its system of governance in many Muslim majority states re-enforces this false knowledge. Misunderstanding must be illuminated with knowledge. Islamic law and its system of governance misapplication must be clarified. This is the goal of the book. Because this book utilizes only the most authentic sources of Sunni Islam to defeat ignorance, it poses a great challenge to the Islamophobia's demagogue. This book uproots years of Islamophobic work seeking to spread ignorance and hatred of Islam. To be sure, this book is neither an apology, propaganda, nor a work of advocacy. It aims only to illustrate what Sunni Muslims believe of Islamic law and its Ideal system of governance. Neither wrong practices of Islamic law and its system of governance nor the smokescreen of Islamophobia should control our understanding of the subject matter. A simple analogy may clarify the issue at hand. A distinction ought to be made between the car and the driver. A distinction must be made between Islamic law and its system of governance on one hand and the common misunderstandings and misrepresentation by Muslim majority States.

This is the goal of the book. Because this book utilizes only the most authentic sources of Sunni Islam to defeat ignorance, it poses a great challenge to the Islamophobia's demagogue.
