Islamic Finance"This book is a great addition to the growing literature on Islamic banking and finance. The chapters are sequenced well, beginning with a good introduction and followed by a discussion on the philosophy and basic principles of Islamic banking before embarking on the legal requirements of contracts and deposits. The authors then expound how these contracts are translated into practice by the contemporary Islamic banking industry and also compare the Islamic products with the prevailing conventional banking products. The book also covers the recent trends in technology and governance and complimenting markets like sukuk, takaful and wealth management. This book will be immensely useful for students of Islamic banking, as well as practitioners, academics, regulators and policy makers."-Rafe Haneef, CEO and Executive Director-CIMB Islamic Bank "This is an important book not just for students of Islamic finance but also for banking practitioners and consumers of banking products as it sets out the fundamental differences between Islamic finance and conventional banking and its importance in promoting a conscionable financial practice and sustainable economic development." -Raja Teh Maimunah, CEO, AmInvestment Bank
