Words of Wisdom - the Editor

Peace.
Got busy with a new project. So couldn’t add more news. Although I came across a fine article by a brother on the history and future of Islamic Banking. I was surprised to know that Islamic banking had beginnings in 1975. Wow. That’s almost as early as my birth. And I guess if there are enough like minded people any idea is bound to grow. I too used to wonder if I can invest without plunging into interest based transactions.

UK I noticed is taking some fine initiatives to promote Shariah Finance. Also came across a western brother or atleast who calls Muslims his brothers and sisters but laughs cynically at the DOW Islamic index as 'bending backwards' to accommodate those guys who have four wives and cut of peoples hands. O well some people just don't get it, do they?

Dubai Islamic Bank launches new virtual training centre

The initiative will provide bank staff with advance training, experience, skills and insights to better meet the needs of the bank's clients in retail banking services. The DIB Retail Banking Services Virtual Training Centre is located at the DIB branch on Al Ittihad Road in Dubai.

The opening ceremony for the centre was attended by Khaled Kamda, DIB Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, and several other senior executives from the bank. The training centre is based on a partnership with SnapShot, a leading human resources consultancy and training firm.

The training centre is one of the most sophisticated centres in the country. The centre is seen as a means for DIB to develop and improve the level of service for the banking sector throughout the region. "This initiative is a reflection of our commitment to being a financial services institution that delivers the highest level of service to its customers," said Kamda.
