## Description

An Introduction to Islamic Finance [Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. An Introduction to Islamic Finance

Review: The author eloquently provides the most basic and necessary knowledge about Islamic finance. - This book contains misprints which should be corrected in the next edition.
Review: A very interesting perspective on the desired design for the financial system. - I've read a Russian translation of this book, bought not from desertcart. I've read a number of articles on Islamic Finances in the past and, given that my field of works is related to finance (software for capital markets) it looked to me like a very strange phenomenon designed only to work around some ancient dogmas of what is right or wrong. This book offers different perspective, which is not strictly attributed to the author's bias (he is one of the leading scholars and proponent of Islamic state) but to the fact that the author explains the idea behind such framework which is moral-based. I'm an atheist, but I see some sense it in even though I do not agree with the underlying idea. The especially interesting thing is that one of foundation of Islamic Finances it based on considering entrepreneurship and a market economy to be moral and thus subject to moral norms, which is different from Christianity where entrepreneurship at least which leads to accumulation of wealth is considered sinful. The author also discusses the reality of Islamic financial organizations which have to operate inside the "generally accepted" financial framework and how it leads to creation of financial structures which deviate from some of the Islamic norms, but are allowed as "exception". Another interesting thing is a general peek into legal/regulatory thinking of Islamic statesmen which is different from their Western peers. The book is very easy to read. My suggestion is to also read Debt: The First 5000 years by David Graeber as it provides another perspective on the origins of some of the norms which are the basis for Islamic Finances. I highly recommend this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Introduction to Islamic Finance
*by F***R on February 18, 2015*

Really good introduction to Islamic finance. Clear explanation of different types of finance by Mufti Taqi Usmani. He was once on Dow Jones Islamic Market™ Index Shari'ah Supervisory Board. Currently he is Chairman, International Shariah Standard Council, Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions, Bahrain. Getting information from the right source is so vital for such a sensitive subject. About the price here on amazon, I agree its a little expensive as I got it for $1.30 when I was visiting abroad but again many things are inexpensive abroad.
