Course Overview
This practitioner-level course introduces the core principles of Islamic finance, focusing on ethical foundations, prohibition of interest (riba), and risk-sharing concepts. It provides learners with a clear understanding of how Islamic financial systems operate alongside conventional banking frameworks. The course is designed to bridge theory with real-world application.
Participants will explore key Islamic financial instruments such as Murabaha, Ijara, and Sukuk, alongside governance structures including Shariah boards and compliance frameworks.
