Information about Islamic finance in European countries is usually provided by professional-style reports, offering practical data on implementation of standardized products. However, precise developments about material legal provisions applicable to contracts and their actual legal regime are not often detailed. In order to fill this gap, 15 researchers from across Europe contributed to this project. They describe the state of actual Islamic finance in 10 European countries, as well as applicable EU law. By combining legal analysis with statistical description of existing practices and social demand, this book provides an exhaustive account of the current potential of Islamic finance in Europe.
This book examines whether Islamic finance and Islamic economics is challenging the orthodoxy of the money markets. Can ethical finance combined with the prohibition on interest and speculation really work in the global economy? With a political economy approach, the book explores how the industry has grown in modern times – from a short-lived bank in an Egyptian city in the 1960s through to a global industry that is today valued at US$2.05 trillion. From the revelation as articulated by the Prophet Muhammed in the seventh century through to the gleaming 21st century skyscrapers of Dubai and Kuala Lumpur, the book covers the end of European colonialism, the controversial utterances of self-styled religious leaders, the impact of Islamophobia, and the efforts to end poverty through Islamic microfinance. The book uncovers an industry that is both profitable and changing the face of contemporary capitalism.

Ein Ausblick auf die Verortung der Theologie aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive öffnet den Horizont zum Erkunden gemeinsamer Wege mit anderen Religionen.
Le droit des successions demeure l'une des dernières disciplines juridiques dans le monde arabe prenant appui sur le droit musulman. L'apprentissage de cette discipline passe généralement par l'étude de l'épître d'Abu Abdillah, Muhammad bin Ali al-Rahabi (497-577H/1104- 1182) et ce, dans les différentes écoles juridiques du droit musulman sunnite. L'analyse de cette oeuvre est assurée à l'aune des différentes écoles juridiques du droit musulman sunnite et des codifications civiles de plusieurs pays arabes. Cet ouvrage en présente un commentaire bilingue et adapté, la rendant accessible aux lecteurs non-initiés.L'auteur a pris le soin de compléter le travail d'al-Rahabi en ajoutant des annexes portant sur les cas juridiques de successions non-admis dans l'école safi'ite. L'ouvrage se donne comme mission de constituer un outil didactique à destination des chercheurs en droit des pays arabes, en droit comparé ou encore dans le domaine de l'islamologie.
