The groundbreaking and globetrotting exploration of the Islamic finance industry, by one in every of its leading practitioners

A trillion dollar financial industry is revolutionizing the global economy. Governments and corporations across the Islamic world are increasingly more turning to finance that complies with Shari‘a law to be able to fund economic growth. Even in the West, Islamic finance is swiftly becoming the most important al­ternative source of funding at a time when the conventional finance industry is reeling from the effects of the financial crisis.  

From its origins in the seventh century, Islamic finance has sought to develop core ethical principles that are based in the foundations of Islam and Shari‘a. By engaging critically with the complexities of international finance, it has evolved and adapted into a world emerging from the economic and moral aftermath of a global financial crisis. But with an increasing Western interest, is it ready to remain true to the principles of its faith? Can it care for its ideals of social jus­tice? Or is Islamic finance guilty of the very dangers it seeks to steer clear of?

  In Heaven’s Bankers, Harris Irfan, one of the crucial world’s leading Islamic finance bankers, gives unparalleled insight into the heart of this secretive industry. From his personal ex­perience of working with leading bankers, scholars and law­yers, he debunks the myths of Islamic banking, analyzes its greatest deals and looks to the way forward for a system that has reprioritized the very nature of money itself.
