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 sees the launch of a dedicated Islamic finance media house

Dubai sees the launch of a dedicated Islamic finance media house
Multi-award winning Shariah consultancy Yasaar Limited has today announced the launch of a dedicated Islamic finance media entity called Yasaar Media.

The founders of Yasaar Media recognise that there is a serious need for an information provider in the Islamic finance space that produces in-depth reports and studies on specific market niches, asset classes and countries. These reports are designed to be market-defining works that will become the benchmark in their field.

The people behind Yasaar Media are Paul McNamara and Majid Dawood.
Mr. McNamara is one of the best known Islamic finance journalists in the world and was co-founder of CPI Financial, a Dubai-based media company. He has launched Islamic finance publications in the UK, the UAE, and Australia. Mr. Dawood has been a key individual in the establishment of Yasaar Limited, the first Shari'ah compliance services company, based in the Dubai International Financial Centre.
