A Comparative Study of Islamic Finance in Australia and the UK
This book provides valuable insights into the practical challenges faced by the nascent Islamic finance industry and compares the Australian experience to developments in the UK. It contributes to a greater understanding of how Muslims living as a minority in Australia and the UK negotiate Islamic doctrine in secular societies by focusing on one aspect of this negotiation, namely the prohibition of ribā. There is little debate in the Islamic tradition on the prohibition of ribā. The differences, however, lie in the interpretation of ribā and the question of how Muslims live in a society that is heavily reliant on interest and conventional banking, yet at the same time adhere to Islamic gu...
Globalization of Knowledge
Lately, Islam has been enduring considerable pressure and criticism for its violent nature and its involvement with anti-social activities, such as terrorism, assassinations, suicide bombings, etc. Some evidence of the growing awareness of Islam and its efforts of peaceful co-existence has come to light in the form of increased interest in reading history and about the past events. This awareness is not sufficient. The authors in their book, Globalization of Knowledge, have endeavoured to dispel this undue criticism. In this treatise, the authors have undertaken to illustrate Islam and its efforts for creating and maintaining a peaceful and harmonious global village. They have also brought to the attention of the readers contributions of the Islamic Civilization to human knowledge, particularly the preservation and further advancements in philosophy, sciences, astronomy and other social disciplines. The book is an easy reading and full of information. Readers can learn vicariously from the Islamic contributions to human knowledge.

Grundbausteine einer gerechten Wirtschaftsordnung im Islam
Zwischen 1,6 und 1,8 Milliarden Menschen islamischen Glaubens leben auf der Erde. Sie sind nicht nur in mehrheitlich islamischen Ländern, sondern weltweit ein wichtiger sozio-demografischer Faktor. Neben säkularen Konzepten, jüdischen, christlichen und vielen weiteren Glaubensvorstellungen wird die Zukunft deshalb auch entscheidend von islamischen Werten und Normen geprägt sein. Christian J. Jäggi stellt Standpunkte, Ideen und Konzepte des Islam zu den Themen Wirtschaftsordnung und soziale Gerechtigkeit vor: Ausgehend vom Koran und der islamischen Tradition (Sunna) diskutiert er zentrale Inhalte des islamischen Denkens, die in der westlichen Welt bis in die Gegenwart nur wenig Beachtung gefunden haben. Er betrachtet Fragen der islamischen Wirtschaftsordnungsethik, erklärt die Bedeutung sozialer und wirtschaftlicher Gerechtigkeit im Islam und gibt Einblicke in aktuelle wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Diskurse. Daraus ergeben sich konkrete ethische Folgerungen für eine gerechte Wirtschaftsordnung aus islamischer Sicht.
