HOW IT WORKS

This course deliberates upon the principles and the practices of Islamic finance. A financial system provides operating tools and instruments to an economic system, on the basis of which it tends to achieve its objectives. Likewise, Islamic finance is only one, but the most effective, part of the overall Islamic economic system and not the all-conclusive part. Its importance as the most effective part, however, has to be recognized because the flow of money, and thus transfer of resources, to various segments in a society is controlled by the banking and financial system, which, at its current stage of development, works like the blood circulating in the human body.
