Islamic finance is one of the fastest-growing sectors in international banking and finance. Owing to the increasing availability and ease of access to Islamic services, Islamic finance has become increasingly important not only in Muslim countries, but around the world, making it a global industry. Under the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) as well as in some regions, such as the Middle East and North Africa, a dual financial system is implemented, where Sharia-compliant products are marketed alongside conventional financial systems.In this thoroughly researched collection of chapters, researchers from around the world examine the role of Islamic finance in the economies and prospects of diffe...
This book addresses the theory, practices, challenges, key issues and potential future policies concerning investment and wealth management in connection with Islamic finance. There is a noted scarcity of literature on Islamic approaches towards wealth management from a jurisprudential perspective, and so this book aims to address this lacuna in available literature. It demonstrates strategies for wealth management in keeping with the Qur’an and Sunn’ah, posing questions relating to interest and investment, and proposing financial models for benefiting the poorer segments of society while simultaneously satisfying economic necessities in keeping with Islamic law. Given its breadth of scope, combining perspectives from scholars and practitioners with extensive experience in the banking and finance sector from different Islamic settings including Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Brunei and Indonesia, this edited volume will benefit practitioners, researchers, and graduate students studying finance, economics and business management in an Islamic context.

"Is it not time to search for paradigms beyond capitalism and socialism? The book argues that interactions between the claims of “ownership”, “control” and “use” can elucidate crisis in our environments through measuring responsibilities. Levels of responsibility created by propeties’ and individuals’ rights developed by societal systems, shape our attitudes and actions in most realms of urban life such as utilization, maintenance, investments, etc. In this edition, further arguments were added such as the impossibility of achieving sustainability and justice within socialism or capitalism. In a letter of recommendation to Jamel Akbar, John Habraken, former chairman of the De...

Iran is currently experiencing the most important change in its history since the revolution of 1979 and the establishment of the Islamic Republic: The regime in Tehran, traditionally ruled by the Shia clergy, is transforming into a military dictatorship dominated by the officers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC; Sepah-e Pasdaran-e Enqelab-e Eslami). This transformation is changing not only the economy and society in Iran, but also the Islamic Republic’s relations with the United States and its allies.
Ranging from the time of the infallible Imams, to the contemporary era, this book provides a comprehensive overview of Shi’i religious and political authority, focusing on Iran and Lebanon, without limiting the discourse to Khomeini’s version of an Islamic State. Utilising untapped Arabic and Persian sources, Hamid Mavani provides a detailed, nuanced, and diverse theoretical discussion on the doctrine of leadership (Imamate) in Shi’ism from traditional, theological, philosophical, and mystical perspectives. This theoretical discussion becomes the foundation for an analysis of the transmission of the Twelfth Imam’s religious and political authority vis-á-vis the jurists during his Gr...

Pengkajian kata Tamkin dibandingkan kata Empowerment atau Pemberdayaan bukan tanpa alasan. Kajian konsep tentang Tamkin (pemberdayaan) di dalam buku ini berkesimpulan bahwa penggunaan kata Tamkin lebih tepat dan epistemik (what we know and how we know) diandingkan kata Empowerment atau Pemberdayaan. Jika berhenti pada kerangka “what we know” (definisi), kata Tamkin, Pemberdayaan dan Empowerment mungkin masih bisa dikaitkan satu sama lain. Namun jika ditingkatkan pada pertanyaan “how we know” (apa dan bagaimana melakukan pemerdayaan) dalam kerangka epistemologis, maka dua kata yang disebut terakhir lemah dari sisi kerangka paradigmatiknya. Sementara kata Tamkin memiliki akar kata kuat dalam Al-Quran dan secara praktis dicontohkan oleh Rasulullah sang pembawa risalah melalui fase Mekkah dan fase Madinah. Apa itu Tamkin dan bagaimana cara kerja Tamkin itu berproses serta relevansinya dengan konsep Modal Sosial (Social Capital) dan Khairu Ummah bisa “berguru” kepada Al-Quran maupun sunnah Rasulullah Shallallahu alaihi wasallam melalui buku ini yang dibahas dengan pendekatan akademis dan praktis.
