Can Islamic Fintech Help to Power Western Economies?

As a British Muslim, I am all too aware that Islam can be a scary word to many people in the UK and the US nowadays.  But it need not be – in an age in which Islam and Islamic law, or Sharia, is increasingly demonised, I believe an economic model espoused by the principles of justice, equality and transparency has the power to unite people of divergent beliefs and create wealth at all levels in society.  These principles are not unique to Islam – they are universal values that can contribute to a just, tolerant and progressive society.An austere interpretation of Isla...

About Islamic Finance, Fintech and Summer Holidays

During my summer holidays I've been asked on a number of occasions what exactly my work entails. To be honest, it is not easy to clearly explain what Islamic Finance is in a Western context, but, in any case, it is quite clear to me that once you explain the Islamic financial principles to somebody, they will find it fair and equitable.They will probably start asking more and more about this alternative financial segment.I consider myself a kind of promoter of Islamic Finance knowledge in Europe because I really believe that its principles, if properly applied, can have a positive impact o...

So You Want to Change the World?

  So did I, 25 years ago. I still do. A few years after graduating, I was fortunate to find myself in a discipline where I genuinely could make a difference. Islamic finance – or more precisely the Islamic economic model - has the power to revolutionise the way people do business, to democratise capital in a way that can restructure society, and reduce the gap between rich and poor.When people ask me in a professional context what’s my motivation, I tell them it’s to change the industry so that its ideals can be achieved.
