Islamic Finance creating wealth through trading in real assets, investments and partnership
Text Box: Shariah is Islamic law based on the Koran and Sunnah (sayings and practices of the prophet Mohammed) which governs the way of life, social, moral and business conduct. Under Shariah, the taking of interest on loans also referred as usury or riba is not permitted. Emphasis is on just, fair and socially responsible undertakings. Creation of wealth is encouraged through investment in assets and partnership. Investments must be ethical, therefore companies involved in alcohol and gambling are prohibited (aka haram). Shariah also prohibits uncertainty known as gharar and gambling known as qimar.
