The following is a list of the topics and readings that insha’Allah will serve as the basis for a ten week course covering the contemporary Shariah Compliant Banking Industry and critically analyzing its present state, ultimately questioning if, in fact, it presently embodies the Islamic Economic ideology and represents a break away from a modern finance that fails a majority. Drawing from an array of sources, lecturing and through question and answer participants will gain a dynamic understanding of the industry itself and the social, religious, political and historical forces that pull on the industry today. Students are asked to engage in as many of the readings as possible each week. Page numbers can be found in bold at the end of the citation and the books represent a body of work that heavily influences content of the lectures. Students are encouraged to read all the selections before each lecture and to continue reading the material after the class has been completed. Classes will be held every other week and will be recorded and posted on islampolicy.com for those that miss the live sessions. All materials, all e-books, pdf’s and reading material will be provided to registrants free of charge. It is necessary that interested participants send an email immediately so that they can join the online group and receive the course-pack including every reference below. Participants will be asked to produce some form of multimedia (articles, videos, audios, graphic design, etcetera)as a final project in order to better promote the ideas and concepts covered in the course as an assignment, but ultimately we seek to engage in this most important topic in a way that promotes depth of comprehension, stimulates conversation, motivates others to enhance, improve and alter the present industry and that challenges Muslims to utilize Islamic principles and concepts in working for justice and peace. We hope you may join us; for more information or to register for the course go to Islampolicy.com or email islampolicy@gmail.com
