Heaven's bankers : inside the hidden world of Islamic finance by Irfan, Harris,1972-author.(CARDINAL)789090;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 323-337) and index.The quiet revolutionaries of Masjid al-Samad -- The nature of money -- The gentler face of Londonistan -- The rocket scientists of Deutsche Bank and the billion-dollar scholar -- The skunk works specialists -- The doomsday fatwa -- Standardizing the industry : accelerating chaos or bringing order? -- The credit crisis and Islamic finance -- When Sukuk go bad -- The regulator strikes back -- Arbitraging Islam : the great vampire squid arrives -- The future of Islamic finance."Islamic finance today is a trillion-dollar industry. It is fast becoming the main way in which large projects get funded globally - such as buildings, aircraft, shipping - and many financial analysts expect Islamic banking assets worldwide to double within five years. In Heaven's Bankers, Harris Irfan provides an authoritative yet entertaining account of how a system of finance invented in the seventh-century Middle East is fast taking over the world of modern banking. The book draws on his first-hand relationships with some of the world's leading bankers, scholars and lawyers, many of whom attend a single mosque in Dubai - the Masjid Al-Samad - the epicentre of today's Islamic finance revolution. It provides a warts-and-all description of the industry; debunks some myths about Islamic finance - such as its perceived relationship with the financing of terrorist activity or its incompatibility with Western values; and asks whether today's Islamic finance industry is true to the fundamental principles of a faith committed to social justice"--Publisher's description.

As an adult, he used his voice to criticize what he saw as the harms of organized religion. But none of that changed the way others saw him. Now, as a father, he fears the challenges his children will no doubt face as Western nations become increasingly nativist and hostile toward their heritage. In Praying to the West, Mouallem explores the unknown history of Islam across the Americas, traveling to thirteen unique mosques in search of an answer to how this religion has survived and thrived so far from the place of its origin. From California to Quebec, and from Brazil to Canada's icy north, he meets the members of fascinating communities, all of whom provide different perspectives on what it means to be Muslim. Along this journey he comes to understand that Islam has played a fascinating role in how the Americas were shaped--from industrialization to the changing winds of politics. And he also discovers that there may be a place for Islam in his own life, particularly as a father, even if he will never be a true believer.

The Eidi bag / by Afzal, Shazia,author.(CARDINAL)882164; Delsooz, Shiva,illustrator.(CARDINAL)890347;
"Sarah is excited to celebrate Eid al-Fitr in her new country. Her mother warns her that things might be different than they were in Pakistan, but that doesn't faze her one bit. She has her Eidi bag ready and expects to receive enough gifts of money from friends and family for new markers and treats for her friends. But when Sarah arrives at the masjid, no one pays any attention to her waiting Eidi bag -- not Sana Khala, not Uncle Hamza, and not even Sister Salma! In Pakistan, her bag would be filled with money and she'd be able to buy goodies and toys. But instead she heads home from prayer feeling sad and disappointed -- and wishing that she'd never left Pakistan. Then, later that day, as friends and family begin to arrive at her house to celebrate Eid, they bring gifts that give Sarah a new perspective and appreciation for the traditions of her adopted country."--
