A very accessible and concise guide to Islamic finance

Contracts and Deals in Islamic Finance provides a clear breakdown of Islamic financial contracts and deal structures for beginners. The embedded requirements within selected Islamic financial contracts, such as risk weightage, capital structures, creations of cash flows, and balance sheets, are explained fully to provide a solid understanding of the backbone of the industry. Aimed primarily at beginners and those with a background in conventional banking, this book guides readers through the major contracts, how theyre applied, and how to discern a contracts legitimacy. Case studies and interviews with bankers and global regulators provide real-life examples of contract application, and the authors own experiences provide deep insight into the everyday issues that arise. Ancillary instructors materials include PowerPoint slides and lecture notes that facilitate use in the classroom.

Literature describing the application of Islamic financial contracts is few and far between, and those providing a basic breakdown of these contracts and questioning their validity are rarer still. This book is the first of its kind, offering a basic approach to understanding Islamic contracts, designed for the true beginner.

  • Understand the current contracts applied in Islamic banking
  • Learn how contracts are applied across different jurisdictions
  • Identify illegitimate contracts and those not in the spirit of Shariah law
  • Examine the current economic realities surrounding Islamic finance
  • By highlighting the underlying themes in Islamic finance and assessing the current practices, this book gives readers the solid understanding and up-to-date perspective that form a solid foundation upon which successful Islamic finance is practiced. For a solid introduction to the Islamic finance industry, Contracts and Deals in Islamic Finance is an accessible, practical guide.

    This book is dedicated to the memory of my father, the late Muhammad Azam Kureshi, who left this world too soon, and my grandfather, Ali Muhammad Baloch. Both men served their countries and not their pocketsa rare breed.

    To my mother, who held my hand and took me to the library; to my father, who writes every day and first encouraged me to write; and to my wife, a beautiful writer who keeps focusing and championing me.

    Foreword

    It is difficult to describe the pride with which I commend the reading of this fine piece on Islamic finance. Hussain Kureshi came into contact with OCBC Al-Amin (and thus me) through our scholarship program with INCEIF, of which he is an inaugural recipient. Hussain duly completed his CIFP with distinction and went on to engage with us as a research assistant. We certainly did not expect him to also come out with a book on Islamic finance. But that is exactly what his trail-blazing approach and academic prowess have produced. Doubtless, he has set the standard, no, raised the bar, of expectations from future scholars.

    Islamic finance, or offering shariah-compliant financial products to clients, is no longer confined to the domain of Muslim customers anymore. We at OCBC Al-Amin have experienced strong demand for shariah-compliant products from numerous non-Muslims as well, evidently because the structures offered to them at the right price make sense.

    Islamic finance has gone beyond the stage of just making the headlines; it is now making money and attracting the attention of issuers of credit notes and investors. With countries like Luxembourg, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong announcing issues of sukuk, we feel that a book that clearly spells out the process flows inherent in the structures and contracts has become necessary for the education of industry participants and aspirants alike. No book has covered aspects of process flows, accounting treatments, risk analyses, and shariah analysis in a single volume. Not until now. Hussain and Mohsin have an easy writing style, which mitigates the inevitable technicalities that come with this type of book, gently walking the reader through the contracts and structures step by step. The net result is a painless ride for individuals not familiar with the religion or the language to understand the contracts and the products.

    We are already looking forward to the sequel to this work, which I understand will focus on Islamic derivatives and structured products. For now, you will certainly have more than enough to digest and ponder when you turn the page. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.

    Preface

    Contracts and Deals in Islamic Finance is a unique idea for which I have my professors and industry peers to thank. It is a collaborative effort between two conventional bankers with Islamic roots and aims at addressing some basic fundamentals of Islamic finance and banking and explores complex enhancements to traditional contracts that are the pillars of Islamic banking.

    This work we hope will be of use not only to students, beginners, and practitioners, but banks, central banks and governments that are trying to get a grip on this subject.

    This work has been designed keeping in mind the cynic and the skeptic who feels that Islamic finance is a mere twisting of legal terms to achieve ends that replicate loans. To such a cynic we can only ask him or her to read the book. The coauthor of this book, who approached the subject of Islamic finance with equal skepticism, however, at one point had to question his own assumptions and expectations.

    One key aspect that is explored is what do we as Muslims expect from Islamic financial institutions (IFIs)? If we expect IFIs to finance us with money and then forgive the resulting debt obligations later on, then this is an unrealistic expectation, as we see later that IFIs are not financing borrowers using their own money, but that of their depositors. If we expect IFIs to offer loans on generous terms, on terms that make losses for the IFI, then this is also incorrect as Islam allows a Muslim a right to profit making within certain conditions. If we expect IFIs to finance us money and only ask to be repaid when and if we as borrowers generate profits from investing the mobilized funds, then this expectation can be accepted but provided the debtor fulfills certain covenants of contracts and acts with a sense of responsibility as well.

    Is it the purpose of Islamic finance to reduce poverty, or to extend money to poor people? This expectation can be addressed, but fundamentally, this depends on the type of IFI concerned. If the IFI is engaged in microfinance, then the answer would be yes, but if the IFI exists for commercial reasons, in that it exists to make a profit, then an IFI can no more be expected to give loans to the poor with high risk of default than a shoemaker can be expected to sell shoes at cost price to the poor.
