The book explains that the objective of religious life should be to change this world, including the personality of the individual himself and extending to the whole of human society, so as to reconstruct it in accordance with the will of Allah as revealed in the Qur’an. The religion should be understood directly from the Qur’an aided by the Sunnah, and all human interpretations should be treated as secondary, tentative and, in principle, liable to error and open to correction.
Financial crises are often linked to unsustainable booms in financial and business cycles. Research shows that credit and house price cycles are closely tied to output cycles. From an Islamic perspective, synchronizing financial and business cycles can promote stability. A Shari’ah-compliant system without interest rates can align the financial cycle with the real economy, bolstering stability.
This book presents the personal finance management of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) along with economic teachings. It provides details of both the periods, i.e. period of life spent in Makkah and period of life spent in Medina.
