Abdullah Saeed: Islamic Banking and Interest: A study of the prohibition of Riba and its Contemporary Interpretation

  1. Home

Sun, 2007/07/08 - 22:01 by Muslim Investor

This important book critically examines the traditional interpretation of "riba (translated as usury of interest) and the attempts of modern Islamic banks to put that interpretation into practice.

The first part of the book examines the prohibition and interpretation of "riba in Islam, as well as the controversies surrounding it. The second part examines the alternatives to interest-based financing utilised in Islamic banking and the problems associated with such alternatives with particular focus on "mudaraba, musharaka and "marabaha.

The book questions the legalistic approach to the interpretation of "riba and argues for a moral understanding of the issue in the light of the authoritative texts of Islam and the lessons learnt from the Islamic banking experiment.
