Welcome at the Islamic Finance WIKI

Islamic Finance WIKI is a project to build an Islamic finance encyclopedia based on free content in initially English and Arabic. The Islamic Finance WIKI is peer controlled. Meaning invited editors can contribute with his or her knowledge and getting reviewed by all the other peers in an ongoing process.

Islamic finance is based on Islamic values and legal principles. It avoids harmful activities such as alcohol, pornography and gambling. Islam calls for modesty in debts and prohibits interest on loans, stopping the vicious circle of debt. Equity and asset finance is promoted to enhance economic wellbeing.
