PALGRAVE STUDIES IN ISLAMIC BANKING FINANCE AND...

This book explores how  through spirituality and the development of character  Islamic
financial institutions and Muslim communities can integrate their businesses with contemporary
social responsibility initiatives to produce positive social and environmental impact. From the
looming environmental crisis to the divide between mainstream and extremist interpretations of
Islam  the book addresses significant questions facing Muslim communities - and humanity - and
demonstrates why Islam should sit 'at the table' with other faiths and ethical traditions
discussing humanity's great obstacles. Unlike existing literature  this work explores the
intersections between classical Islamic ethics and spirituality  contemporary Islamic finance
and economic markets  and select sustainability and impact initiatives (such as the Equator
Principles and UN Principles of Responsible Investment) designed to make the worlds of business
and finance responsible for the environments in which they operateand the communities that
support them. Drawing on his years of experience in Islamic banking  Moghul addresses these
applications in light of real-world practices and dilemmas  demonstrating how Islamic
organizations and Muslim communities should embrace the broad range of stakeholders
countenanced by the Shari'ah in conversations that affect them. By situating his exploration of
Islamic finance in the light of the much larger critical issues of balance  justice  and
moderation in Islamic praxis  Moghul creates an interdisciplinary book that will appeal to
academics and researchers in economics  finance  business  government and policy  and law.
