The fundamental concept of Islamic finance is that money has no intrinsic value and should be only used to measure wealth. We will show you the fundamental principles, basic elements and different characteristics of Islamic finance. Islam is a religion that emphasises ethical values and moral codes in all areas, including financial matters. You'll learn about Islamic business ethics, including the rules of commercial and financial institutions. Islamic finance is based on a body of fundamental principles that form the backbone of any Shariah-compliant banking product. You'll study the status of profit-loss sharing, interest, market speculation, market uncertainty and many more. The major difference between an Islamic investment fund and a conventional one is that the former adheres to Shariah principles and the latter does not. You will gain knowledge of the primary form of an Islamic Investment Fund and various Moslem finance structures.
