Readings in Islamic Economics and Finance is a compilation of papers presented at the Seminar Ekonomi dan Kewangan Islam held at ESSET Bangi, Selangor, in August 2005. Although a good 56 papers were presented at the seminar, only a handful, which displayed originality, was selected. The book addressed issues in such areas as Islamic fiqh, Islamic banking and Islamic capital market. More specifically, this book begins with an introduction of fiqh concept. Part 11 deals with aspects of Islamic banking, Part 111 deals with Islamic capital market and Part 1V deals with the other important issues related to Islamic economics and finances. All the issues discussed in the books, although recently intensively addressed, are still not adequate in economic literature. This book is useful for students, academicians, development and finance specialists, and others who are interested in Islamic economic thought.
