[daarut-tauhiid] Islamic Finance May Be On to Something


AsSalaamu alaikum waRahmatuLlaahi waBarakatuh.

Berita tentang Islam di media barat biasanya rada miring. Kali ini, majalah
bisnis dengan oplah terbesar di dunia yaitu Business Week mengangkat berita
positif tentang Islam:

Islamic Finance May Be On to Something
Banks and mutual funds that comply with Islamic law have largely evaded the
fallout from toxic debt

"A big part of the appeal of Islamic finance is its simplicity. Speculation
is taboo under sharia, and there's a ban on assessing interest because the
Prophet Mohammed said debts must be repaid in the amount that was loaned.
Money proffered must be backed by collateral, and if financial instruments
are traded, they generally have to sell for face value, which deters banks
from repackaging debt."
