I am the principal of Sharing Risk dot Org. I am an expert researcher on Islamic finance as well as a freelance journalist with a monthly column in Business Islamica magazine and I am the US correspondent for Islamic Business & Finance magazine.

My areas of focus within Islamic finance are its growth within non-Muslim-majority countries, microfinance and the interaction of Islamic finance with other forms of ethical finance. I presented a paper on a murabaha and musharaka based microfinance model at the 8th Havard University Forum on Islamic Finance in April 2008.

I write both the Sharing Risk dot Org main blog as well as a blog at Zawya.com.
