About The Course

Islamic Banking and Finance-Level 1 aims to introduce students to core norms, modes, principles, basic models of Islamic banking and finance, and to the analysis of the relationship between Islamic and conventional banks. Comprised of 12 online lectures, the course covers a range of topics, including the prohibition of Riba, Islamic financial contracts, Islamic capital market, Islamic microfinance models, Islamic insurance, and other contemporary issues related to Islamic finance.

The course will also address the real-world dilemmas related to banking loans, overdrafts, mortgages, insurance issues faced by Muslims while dealing with conventional banking. This entry-level course is suitable for both beginners and those with a good understanding of Islamic finance. A beginner will be given an overview of the basic functioning of finance in Shar’iah, and those with better knowledge of Islamic finance will be educated on the systematic approach to Shar’iah based finance. This foundational ideology will then be built further in level two and three of the course, where one, as an entry-level student, will develop a personal approach to Islamic finance and economics.
