Download or read book Management of Shari ah Compliant Businesses written by Ezlika M. Ghazali and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-18 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muslim consumers represent an untapped and viable market segment, but to date there has been very little research on catering to their needs or running and managing Islamic businesses. Innovations in Islamic business, interest in the use of Sukuk (Islamic bonds) to finance major projects, pressures on Islamic banks to reduce the financing gap in society, and the need to understand Muslim consumers, require a deeper grasp of the issues and opportunities involved, which are quite unique. In similar vein, acquiring expertise on topics specific to Shari'ah-compliant businesses requires a thorough knowledge of matters ranging from financing to branding and, in a broader sense, creating an entrepreneurial framework suitable to the market. This book fills this gap by presenting high-quality and original case studies on Islamic finance, marketing and management from around the world. Equally valuable in business school classrooms and for c-suite strategists, it will help readers shape business strategies to tap into a billion-strong market.

Download or read book An Overview of Islamic Finance written by Mr.Mumtaz Hussain and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islamic finance has started to grow in international finance across the globe, with some concentration in few countries. Nearly 20 percent annual growth of Islamic finance in recent years seems to point to its resilience and broad appeal, partly owing to principles that govern Islamic financial activities, including equity, participation, and ownership. In theory, Islamic finance is resilient to shocks because of its emphasis on risk sharing, limits on excessive risk taking, and strong link to real activities. Empirical evidence on the stability of Islamic banks, however, is so far mixed. While these banks face similar risks as conventional banks do, they are also exposed to idiosyncratic risks, necessitating a tailoring of current risk management practices. The macroeconomic policy implications of the rapid expansion of Islamic finance are far reaching and need careful considerations.

This book was released on 2012-01-09 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unprecedented economic growth and wealth accumulation in predominately Muslim countries have prompted many financial institutions in the US and Europe to position their investment teams across the Middle East and Asia to be closer to the markets in which they invest, and to take advantage or asset-gathering opportunities. This growth has also encouraged an increasing number of western industrialised countries to adopt legislation that responds to the requirements of the Musli investment community. To be effective in these markets it is essential that professionals have an understanding of how Shari'a legal principles are applied in the financial sector. Failure to do so exposes them and their clients to potential financial, legal and reputational pitfalls. The Chancellor Guide to the Legal and Shari'a Aspects of Islamic Finance is the first professional reference to focus specifically on the legal dimension of Islamic Finance. The guide brings together nineteen Islamic Finance legal practitioners and advisers to provide a comprehensive yet practical legal perspective on the subject. Each contributor draws on several years' hands-on experience in Islamic Finance product development and advice to leading financial institutions to provide a real-world, contemporary assessment of the key legal issues in Islamic Finance. The guide's hands-on approach and accessible style make it required reading for everyone with a professional interest in Islamic Finance, be they lawyers, accountants, regulators, bankers or investors. It is also a unique reference for academic institutions worldwide.

Download or read book Islamic Commercial Law and Social Justice written by Susan C. Hascall and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this article is to examine workers' rights under Islamic law. The Shari'ah-based financing, investing and related industries establish their businesses on claims that they comply with the Shari'ah's mandates for commercial practices. They focus almost exclusively on the prohibitions on interest, excessive risk and avoidance of dealing with prohibited products and services. However, companies claiming to be in compliance with the Islamic Shari'ah must look beyond the forms of the transactions or the content of the products they sell. The companies and their Shari'ah advisors must also examine the treatment of the workers employed by the companies. As this article will show, the fair treatment of workers is clearly relevant to the analysis of whether a company is Shari'ah compliant. The Qu'ran, the teachings of the Prophet (P.B.U.H.), and the writings of the scholars are replete with instructions regarding the fair treatment of workers. If the workers are not being treated fairly in accordance with Islamic law, the owners of these companies and their Shari'ah advisors should not claim that the companies and products are Shari'ah compliant. This article begins with a case study of janitors working in a building in Indiana that houses one of the offices of a large international company that claims to be conducting its business in accordance with Shari'ah. However, the janitors were being paid less than a living wage. This author argues that under Shari'ah, this practice amounts to the exploitation of the workers and that any company that pays less than a living wage, or benefits from these low wages should not claim to be Shari'ah compliant. Part I of the article gives the reader an overview of the Shari'ah compliant industries and the sources of fiqh (jurisprudence) that are generally relied upon to guarantee Shari'ah compliance. Part III explores the intersection of Islamic commercial law, religious duty and business ethics. Part IV argues based on both classical and contemporary sources of fiqh that the Shari'ah clearly requires the fair treatment of workers. Part V suggests strategies for the implementation and standardization of Shari'ah compliance that would include the fair treatment of workers through requiring those companies that claim to be Shari'ah compliant to pay workers a living wage. The article includes a fatwa issued by Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi, President of the Fiqh Council of North America (2006) which supports the author's arguments.

Download or read book SHARIAH GOVERNANCE MADE EASY written by Ben Ahmad and published by SCR Strategic & Advisory Sdn Bhd. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of authors and books have been published about everything pertaining to Shariah and any related matters to it. But none of them has put effortless reading material on how to understand Shariah in the simplest manner but practical at the same time. From the ‘head to toe,’ publications also have been filling our book stores around the globe, and yet, still a lot of people unable to imply Shariah in a practical manner in their personal lives, schools, offices, manufacturers, or even worship houses. This is to say, that Shariah has been given a typical understanding such as a ‘good-looking attire’, the ethical values most and how you spoke to the others, and the perceptions rather than desired practices. But believe me, Shariah in the real meaning is none of those which we traditionally took it and realize it. It way better than that whereas we can try to grasp it from this little, tiny book. Book Objectives 1. To increase the people understanding of Shariah 2. To erase the misunderstanding about Shariah governance 3. To share the practical manual about Shariah governance for a workplace

Download or read book Risk Management under Shariah Law Products Techniques and Competitiveness written by Baraa Al Bitar and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research provides insights on the competitiveness of the Islamic financial industry in relation to conventional finance in the future term by investigating the development and standardization of Islamic finance risk management products and techniques. Additionally, it examines whether Shariah law impedes the innovation and standardization of these products and techniques. The investigation of the topic is carried out on the basis of a descriptive analysis of topic-related literature and internet publications. Furthermore, it is supported by analytical facts and figures from recent studies and financial reports. At the end, the research concludes that the classical Islamic scholars, and not Shariah law, impede the innovation and standardization of Shariah-compliant risk management products and techniques. Despite that issue, the Islamic financial industry with its risk management products and techniques is already competing with conventional finance in the international market as it starts at the point where conventional finance is trying to reach: zero interest rates to stimulate the economies and pure risk management products and techniques, which are not used for speculation

Download or read book Capital Structure and Shari ah Compliance of non Financial Firms written by Ramazan Yildirim and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-03-22 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the present financial world, various niche markets play an increasingly important role. One of the fastest-growing niches is, without a doubt, Islamic finance. Indeed, sustainable finance needs constantly evolving innovations, and this book offers valuable insights into Islamic capital structure and Shari’ah equity screening enriching academic discourse. "In recent years, we have witnessed the emergence of a new generation of academics and professionals specializing in various aspects of Islamic finance as knowledge and practice. This has brought about a new dynamism and also further sophistication. This book is one of such contributions, as it develops knowledge which is then transformed into practice whereby practical impact is also achieved. Being an academic book, it provokes readers’ thoughts, offering a critique of the implications of the currently applied Shari’ah screenings methodologies. As a transformative practical piece, by developing an innovative screening ratio, in this book, Dr. Yildirim extends his focus on the risk-sharing based financing hierarchy, covers thoughts and the underlying philosophy, and proposes an Islamic version of a pecking order hierarchy. This framework can be considered the foundation for developing an Islamic capital structure theory. This book will benefit academics, professionals, investors, as well as policymakers working in the Islamic finance industry and would like to explore more." (Professor Dr. Mehmet Asutay, Durham University Business School, UK) "This book offers, for the first time after the inception of Shari’ah screening methodologies, a groundbreaking new stock screening solution that is comprehensible, practical, and foremost entirely derived from the primary sources of Islam (Qur’an and Sunnah). Congratulations to Dr. Ramazan for his outstanding contribution to Islamic finance and capital markets." (Associate Professor Dr. Ahcene Lahsasna) "This excellent book is a must-have for all corporate finance students/researchers interested in the theoretical aspect of capital structure and the religious discussion of Shari’ah equity screening. This book should become a companion to those involved in a quantitative research environment and aim to conduct a comparative analysis; an ideal resource for everyone, from Shari’ah scholars to Islamic finance practitioners and beginners to experts." (Professor Dr. M. Kabir Hassan, University of New Orleans, USA)
