Book Description
Riba (Usury), call it bank-interest if you like, is prohibited by the texts of the Qur'an and the Sunnah. This was the conclusion drawn unanimously by the Muslim jurists (fuqaha'); and it is also the decisive view of the vast majority of modern Muslim scholars. Despite this general agreement, a confusion persists in the minds of many, jurists and laymen alike, that even though some forms of interest are prohibited, the simple interest charged by banks may not be prohibited by Islamic law. What is the reason for such a doubt? Why do some uphold prohibition with conviction, while others do not? This book attempts to elaborate the foundations on this prohibition is based, and in doing so removes some of the persistent disagreements.The explanations provided are based upon the works of the earlierjurists so that the discussion is undertaken in a detached manner.

The Art of Islamic Banking and Finance
Author: Yahia Abdul-Rahman
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470572612
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 435
Book Description
A detailed look at the fast-growing field of Islamic banking and finance The Art of Islamic Banking and Finance is a modern American take on what it means to incorporate Islamic finance principles into everyday banking and investment techniques by introducing a new brand of banking for all people of all faiths: The Riba-Free (RF) banking. The author is considered the father of RF (Islamic) banking in America. He has been a banker and an Imam/scholar for over 40 years in America since 1968. He started the tedious process with a finance company, LARIBA, in Pasadena, California in 1987. This is the first book ever in the field to trace the origins of prohibiting the renting of money at a price called interest rate and over-indulging in debt. The book reviews in great details the theological foundations of prohibiting interest in the Jewish Bible, the Christian Bible, and the Qur'aan. The author then discusses money and how fiat money is created, the role of the Federal Reserve, and the banking system in America. The book also discusses for the first time ever how to include an important aspect of RF (Islamic) finance using commodity indexation and marking the items to be financed to market in order to avoid participating in economic "bubbles." The author discusses how these rules work, how they affect consumer behavior, and how they change the role of the banker/financier. Covers a new pioneering model that is based on the Law (Shari'aa) and how it is applied in every transaction from joint ventures and portfolio management to home mortgages and personal financing Shows how to incorporate the Law (Shari'aa) into American financing and banking systems Points to RF (Islamic) finance and banking as a way to emphasize socially responsible investing The Art of Islamic Banking and Finance also includes a discussion on the emergence of a culture of RF (Islamic) banking and finance today, which is based on the real Judeo-Christian-Islamic spirit and very effective when compared to twentieth-century models that use financial engineering and structuring techniques to circumvent the Law (Shari'aa). The book also includes case studies based on the actual experience of the author and detailed analysis of the superior results realized by applying this new brand of banking to financing.

The Prohibition of Riba Elaborated
Author: Imran Ahsan Khan Nyazee
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781541245914
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
The texts of the Qur'an and the Sunnah that prohibit riba are not easy to understand. An earlier book written by this author, called The Concept of Riba and Islamic Banking, appeared to be difficult for some readers. In fact, a few eager students stated that they were able to understand the text only after they had read it two or three times. This book tries to simplify some of the difficult areas of juristic interpretation. Some additional explanations have been added as compared to our last attempt in 1995, in the book mentioned. A major problem has been the recognition, by modern ulama and scholars, of some basic truths about the prohibition of riba. This non-recognition sometimes appears to be a reluctance to face a few harsh realities and a tendency to evade thorny issues. One such issue is the prohibition of all loans, other than what we have come to call a charitable loan or qard hasan. The issue lies at the heart of all Islamic banking. Instead of giving arguments on this issue and responding to the arguments made in favour of such prohibition, our modern scholars and leading muftis maintain total silence. The present book includes at least one instance of such evasion. It is only when a response on this issue is available from modern scholars that knowledge in this area will advance further. Without such a discussion, Islamic banking has very little chance of success.

The Causes and Consequences of Interest Theory
Author: Cem Eyerci
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030787028
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
Interest has always been a part of humans' daily economic life, and the concept of interest has attracted intense attention from economists, philosophers, religious scholars and lawmakers. This book analyses the issue of prohibition of interest through the lens of conventional economics and then makes a comparison with the position of Islamic economists. It evaluates the theory of interest presented by Böhm-Bawerk, which is the most respected and applicable theory at present. It provides an in-depth analysis of the current literature, and it is the first book to scrutinize the interpretation of Islamic economists on the concepts of time preference and interest rate control. This book will be of interest to academics and students of economics and Islamic economics.
