INTRODUCTION TO ISLAMIC FINANCE & ECONOMICS
A one-day intensive course delivered by Shaykh Nizam Yaqubi*
Date: Saturday 5th March 2005
Time: 10am - 6pm (registration at 9.15 am)
Venue: Room D1, Hong Kong Theatre, Ground Floor, Clement House,
London School of Economics (LSE), Aldwych, London, WC2A 2AE
In the words of our Noble Prophet (saw), "Indeed actions are only
based upon one's intentions and every person shall have that which
they intended..." (Bukhari and Muslim).
Many young young Muslim men and women are studying or working in
the Business, Economics and finance-related sectors in the City.
However, few are doing so for the pleasure of Allah (swt) and have
little or no concern about how to benefit the Muslim Ummah; rather
it is purely for financial gain. The reasons for this are many,
but one of the principal factors is lack of knowledge with regards
to the basics of Islamic Finance compounded with a lack of scholars
who can competently explain such matters. For this reason, a one
day intensive course has been organised to introduce some of the
concepts, principles and practicalities of Islamic finance, e.g.
contracts, the need for Islamic finance, and our responsibility
as Muslims towards it in building and sustaining our communities.
It is hoped that Muslims, after attending this course, one would
purify their intentions, develop increased awareness and interest
in the Fiqh of Mu'āmalāt, and be capable of introducing to others
an alternative form of finance. With London being regarded as the
'capital' for Islamic Finance, the time could not have been more
appropriate for Muslims to benefit from a course of this nature.
Subjects to be covered: Introduction to Islamic Banking and Finance,
Principles of Contract in Islam, Basics of Sales Contract, Mudāraba,
Murābaha, Ijāra (Leasing), Bai' al-Istisnā', Bai' as-Salām, Basic
models of home finance in Shariah, Takāful, and much more.
* Shaykh Nizam sits on the Islamic supervisory boards of several
Islamic financial institutions and is an active scholar in Islamic
finance. He received a BA in Economics and Comparative Religion from
McGill University (Canada) and is currently completing his PhD in
Islamic Law at University of Wales (United Kingdom). He works as an
independent Shariah consultant based in his home country of Bahrain.
His accomplishments and responsibilities include: Professor of Tafsir,
Hadith and Fiqh in Bahrain since 1976; author of several articles and
publications on Islamic finance and other sciences in English and
Arabic, including Tahqiyah al-A'māl fi Ikhrāj Zakāt al-Fitr bil-Māl,
Risālah fit-Tawbah, Qurratul-'Ainain fi Fadā'il Birr al-Walidain,
and Irshād al-'Uqalā' ilā Hukm al-Qirā'ah min al-Mus-haf fis-Salāh.
He is also a Shariah Advisor to ABC International Bank, HSBC Amanah,
Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, Bahrain Islamic Bank, Citi Islamic Investment
