Packed with practical information, in bite-sized chunks, this book is the ideal introduction to Islamic finance.
Islamic finance and banking is governed by the tenets of Islam and is based upon the principles of the Shariah, a code of conduct for Muslims to adhere to when managing their lives, including their finances. This slim volume breaks down this code and teaches readers how it is practically applied in business, personal finances, and the global economy.
Tasnim Nazeer is a creative, experienced writer who has written for some of the UKs biggest publications and brands, including Al Jazeera, the BBC, The Huffington Post, and CNN.
