Islamic banking and finance products provide alternatives to conventional financial arrangements through structures designed to comply with Islamic commercial principles. Islamic banks and financial institutions offer a variety of services relating to deposits, financing, investments, asset management and financial markets. Understanding these products is important for professionals who work with Islamic financial institutions or want to develop their knowledge of Shariah-compliant financial services.
Islamic banking is generally guided by principles that prohibit riba (interest), restrict excessive uncertainty and gambling-related transactions, and require financial activities to comply with applicable Shariah requirements. Rather than relying exclusively on conventional interest-based lending arrangements, Islamic financial institutions use recognised contractual structures involving sales, leases, partnerships and other permissible transactions.
This Islamic Banking and Finance Products course introduces the organisation of Islamic banking and the financial instruments used across different areas of the industry. You will explore the strategic position of financial institutions, the need for Islamic banks and non-bank financial institutions, deposit arrangements, financing instruments and the structure of Islamic banking operations.
The programme also examines Islamic investment banking, financial markets, asset management through equity funds and investment sukuk. Additional topics include Shariah screening, purification criteria, foreign exchange operations and the trading of financial instruments.
Through structured online learning, you will develop a clearer understanding of Islamic financial products, their underlying principles and their relevance to banking, investment and financial services.
