The following is a list of the topics and readings that insha’Allah will serve as the basis for a ten week course covering the contemporary Shariah Compliant Banking Industry and critically analyzing its present state, ultimately questioning if, in fact, it presently embodies the Islamic Economic ideology. Drawing from an array of sources, lecturing and through question and answer participants will gain a dynamic understanding of the industry itself and the social, religious, political and historical forces that pull on the industry today. Students are asked to engage in as many of the readings as possible each week. Page numbers can be found in bold at the end of the citation and these are the sections that will be included in the lectures. Classes will be held every other week and will be recorded and posted on islampolicy.com for those that miss the live sessions. Al materials, all e-books, pdf’s and reading material will be provided to registrants free of charge. Participants will however be asked to produce some form of multimedia (articles, videos, audios, graphic design, etcetera) in order to better promote the ideas and concepts covered in the course as an assignment, but ultimately we seek to engage in this most important topic in a way that promotes depth of comprehension, stimulates conversation, and challenges Muslims to utilize Islamic principles and concepts in working for justice and peace.
