Ethica Launches 700 Page Islamic Finance E-Book for Professionals

[XTREME]

The Islamic finance industry's leading certification institute, Ethica, today launched what may soon become the desktop reference of choice for the Islamic finance professional: a 700 page e-book packed with practical, usable information. Everything from sample Islamic finance contracts, over 1,000+ scholar-approved Q&As, the entire "Meezan Bank Guide to Islamic Banking," study notes to Ethica's award-winning Certified Islamic Finance Executive (CIFE) program, and much more. All organized with an easy-to-use subject index at the end.

Ethica is the first globally-recognized certification institute in Islamic finance to launch a comprehensive online guidebook for the industry. Ethica's spokesperson said, "We wanted to create a handbook that empowers professionals with a usable, practical reference that goes beyond standard academic theory."

What makes the e-book unique is that it emphasizes entrepreneurship. Sample contracts, product descriptions, and recommended reading lists target the newcomer who may not necessarily be interested in lining up for a job at a big bank. His horizons may extend to the entrepreneurial side of Islamic finance, which continues to be top-heavy with large banks dominating the headlines and smaller companies and start-ups largely absent from the industry.

Ethica's "Handbook of Islamic Finance (2013)" is now available free of charge at
Ethica.

No it is not. It is moderate.

By the way recently India reached till making Islamic Banking permissible. But finally RBI approvals are not obtained.

what does " moderate" mean? and it is only geared to Muslims only. an apartheid of sorts in banking.

No. Its not just for muslims. I think you better read yourself first since you are new to this.

Moderate i ment: Islamic banking doesnt promote capitalism nor communism. It doesnt allow to lend money just based on interest. This helps poor. But it provides other means to get profit.

Then RBI , which I presume is " globally certified/ accepted banking institution" has no grounds to approve this. There must be another body that allows it India. Like those who allow, I think it used to be called panchayat banking ( name something similar)- a financial lending , small community institution. Although those were also open to all and not biased against race, religion or creed . RBI cannot guarantee such banking. presuming you have similar to what we have in the US called FDIC guarantee"

Update: Yikes I read your reply incorrectly, thought you said it was for only Muslims. disregard the latter portion of my comment on bias against race, religion or creed.

Since almost all the country now follows capitalism it would be difficult for them to change all of sudden.
Again i am repeating it is not ment just for muslims. It is the bank which follows islamic principles any one has think bank muslims will invest. It could be by muslims or non muslims also. These banks can even have non muslim customers.

RBI Governor urges separate laws for Islamic banking

"There should be separate legislation for the purpose. The Kerala government had proposed to permit Islamic banking as the inward remittance is the highest here. Reserve Bank is not against the idea, but we can work only under the present legal frame work of the country," he added.

There are some euro countries which has islamic banking and it is doing well even though rest of the banks are in mess.
Islamic "Shariah-Compliant" Banking Takes Root in Europe :: Gatestone Institute

The spectacular growth prospects for the Islamic financial services industry in many European countries is being fuelled by Muslim mass immigration; despite a difficult economic climate on the continent, Islamic banking is growing faster in Britain, France and Germany than it is in many Islamic countries in the Middle East and Asia.
