Acknowledgment

I would like to forward my utmost gratitude to a number of people, for their generous co-operation and assistance, in the course of preparing this monograph. Mr Howard Johnson for reviewing my thesis plan, Professor Bob Lee for his invaluable insight on Chapters 1-5 and finally Dr Paul
Bridges and Dr Simon Norton for their enlightening views on several issues.
I dedicate my efforts to ‘Bhaijan’, who has always been the inspiration and my guide throughout my life.

Preface
At present times, it would not be inappropriate to state that Muslims the world over face the dilemma that their religion, Islam, prohibits interest in stringent terms and
aims

    Islam And The West

    There is a very familiar cautionary response that one finds oneself constantly making when one engages in discussions about Islam these days. This is the response of saying, “Do not generalize about Islam. There are many Islams!” In fact this has become something of a mantra and, given the strenuous simplifications one finds in the Western media and on the lips and memos of politicians as well as in continuing forms of ‘orientalist’ academic writing, expressions of such caution are thoroughly warranted. But on the other hand, it should not become a conversation-stopper. And it should not be inconsistently deployed. There is no doubt that there are many Islams. That should be a banality. But if that is so, then equally, in that case, there are many Americas, and there are many Wests, too. And that does not stop many of us from making remarks abstracting from this manyness and diversity of the West and of America to nevertheless make roughly true generalizations about the West --such as, that there is a corporate driven foreign policy prevalent in the West, especially in the US, which has had very destructive effects in countries with Muslim populations, that the US government has consistently supported Islamic militants when it suited their geo-political and economic interests, that it has…

    Differentiation Between Islamic Bank and Conventional Bank

    There are many differences between conventional and Islamic bank. In conventional bank, money is a product besides medium of exchange and store value. The design of conventional bank is based on interest. They are charging higher interest rate on capital. The functions and operating modes of conventional banks are based on fully manmade principles. In conventional bank, they thought that interest rate give biggest profit for them. They assume that the interest rate is lawful and valid. Conventionally, interest or the excess (increase) in loan is the consideration or compensation for the period of re-payment of loan. The difference between the maturity value of old and new debt amounts to riba. It may be noted that the conventional system of time-based compounding of debt clearly falls in this category.

    Islami vs Conventional Banking

    Banking plays an important role in the economy of any country. In Bangladesh Muslims constitute more than 80% of its population. These people possess strong faith on Allah and they want to lead their lives as per the constructions given in the holy Quran and the way shown by the prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Sm). Naturally, it remains a deep cru in their hearts to fashion and design their economic lives in accordance with the precepts of Islam. But no Islamic banking system was developed here up to 1983. The Traditional banking is fully based on interest it is commonly meant as commercial banks. But interest is absolutely prohibited by Islam. As a result the people of Bangladesh have been experiencing such a non-Islamic and prohibited banking system against their normal values and faith.…

His life and the companions that surrounded within the parameter of this business culture as guided by the Holy Qur’an. Nevertheless, the formal discussion of the discipline is rarely discussed in the previous conventional economic system. In order to serve the responsibility as a khalifah, Muslims practice a just economic system to achieve the objective of Shariah, as oppose to embracing economy as the object of the process.
