Islamic Finance as an Ethical and Responsible Finance – hinnat ja saatavuus

In an era of recurring financial crises, rising inequality, and environmental stress, Islamic Finance as an Ethical and Responsible Finance by Professor Dr. Muhammad Ayub offers a transformative vision for global finance. It critiques the excesses of interest-based, speculative, and profit-driven systems and advocates a shift toward finance rooted in justice, equity, risk-sharing, and sustainability. Grounded in the prohibitions of riba (interest), gharar (contractual uncertainty), and maysir (gambling), and supported by the social institutions of zakat and waqf, this work shows how asset-backed and transparent financing can align with the UN SDGs. Blending rigorous theory with practical insights, it positions Islamic ethical finance as a universal model for advancing shared prosperity and promoting moral and social good. This work is an essential resource for academics, policymakers, and practitioners committed to building a just and sustainable financial order. Emerald Studies in Islamic Economy and Finance (ESIEF) is a groundbreaking series published by Emerald Publishing dedicated to advancing the knowledge and understanding of Islamic economics and finance.
