Islamic Finance and Sukuk Handbook – Where Shariah Meets Commercial Demands
By Saw Ann Ping, CFA
Can Islamic finance find its way back to its core or must one still buy and sell iron ore to raise funds the Shariah-compliant way? Is Islamic finance compatible with the commercial demands of the modern world? Bear in mind that trade was the predominant business activity in the land during the Prophet’s time. With minimal infrastructure or capital intensive investments, the usual type of financing as we know it was not prevalent. Hence, there is not much precedence that can be used when it comes to structuring Islamic finance for the current times.
With conventional financing dominating the financial industry, Islamic finance practitioners have tried to fit Shariah principles into conventiona financing structures, some times, focusing on meeting the form rather than the substance.
This book, Islamic Finance and Sukuk Handbook – Where Shariah Meets Commercial Demands sets out structures for almost all financing situations. It outlines how both commercial and Shariah requirements are met without the need for Bai Inah, arranged Tawarruq, profit guarantees on Musyarakah and Mudharabah, or preference shares. New structures for project finance, supplier financing, JVs, student financing, etc are also introduced.
With the step-by-step guide, newcomers and people without any advanced credit appreciation will also benefit from the book as they learn how to become Islamic finance practitioners. It is a book written by practitioners for practitioners.
The book is now open for orders at https://sukukhandbook.wixsite.com/islamicfinancebook
