Introduction to Islamic Banking
To Be Announced
Overview
Despite its stellar growth (around 17% per annum over last two decades), Islamic Finance is still a bit of a mystery! Common man has more questions about it than answers. How is it Halal? How is it different? What are the rules of the game? Why has it fascinated even the West and the Vatican? Is it safe and stable despite its incomplete track-record?
This workshop explores inner working of Islamic Banking and Finance, its underlying theory, its logical foundations all the way down to specific products and solutions to the financing and investment needs.

| How are Sharia rulings derived? What is the basis of different rulings in Islamic Finance? | |
| What are the conceptual foundations of Riba? What are the Islamic alternatives to Riba-based contracts? | |
