...PROHIBITION OF RIBA FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF FOUR MAIN SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT Introduction In the comprehensive and restrictive meaning, riba is defined as “any increment incurred upon specific ribawi (usurious) items originated either from debt or trading transactions”. Apart from its literal meaning of “increase”, classical Islamic scholars such as Ibn Arabi, Mujahid and Tabari interpreted riba as an ‘increase without wealth (mal) attached to it’, or as ‘compensation for waiting’ or ‘increase of amount owing to the lenders due to the deferment of payment resulted from extension of original loan tenure’. Such interpretation encompasses riba from debt transaction (i.e. riba ad-duyun) as well as riba from trading of the six ribawi items (i.e. riba al buyu’). The prohibition of riba appears in Al-Quran in four different revelations. The first of these is in Surah Ar-Rum ayyat 39 which emphasized on moral denunciation for those who gives riba and commendation for those who contribute tithe (zakat). The second revelation is in Surah An-Nisa ayyat 161 concerning riba and the Jews. It severely condemned the Jews who took riba despite they were forbidden to do so. The third revelation in Surah Ali Imran ayyat 130 enjoined the Muslims to keep away themselves from riba and the fourth revelation in Surah Al-Baqarah ayyat 275-278 delineate the strong verdict against riba especially the two excerpts from ayyat 275 which stated that “Those who devour riba will not stand except as one...

...Devices that Assist People with Disabilities Sheewane Davis Mercer University In the 2008 Census, over 10 million Americans reported a daily activity limitation and their activities of daily living (ADLs) usually required assistance from tools or caregivers. Moreover, about 0.3 million Americans have experienced a serious spinal cord injury (SCI), for whom essential tasks, such as dressing, preparing food, or taking medications, usually require the assistance from personal caregivers. However, the shortage and high cost of experienced caregivers fail rapidly growing needs for personal assistance. Technology which aids in these tasks is in great demand and it must allow the user to independently and safely control both mobility and manipulation in their home or the community. Robotics technology has been widely applied in rehabilitation technology and assistive devices to enhance the performance of assistance and quality of life of people with disabilities. By attaching a robotic manipulator to a mobile base, such as a wheelchair or a mobile robot, several robotic assistive devices have been developed to provide both mobility and manipulation assistance to people with severe physical impairments. However, most existing devices only provide a single-arm manipulation, which greatly reduce their efficiency of assistance and restricts their ability to perform complex manipulation tasks which require the involvements of both arms, for example, open the refrigerator with one arm...

...Islamic Modes of Finance Theory and Key Shariah Principles Modes Of Finance • Two are ideal modes which provide an alternative to interest banking and if implemented on a national level will result in much fairer distribution of wealth in society 1. Mushaarakah – رآ (equity finance) 2. Mudhaarabah - ر (equity finance - sleeping partner) • Two are not ideal as they replicate the effects of conventional banking but nevertheless are tolerated in Shariah 3. Ijaarah - ( إ رةleasing) 4. Muraabahah - ( اcost plus pricing) We will also briefly analyse Salam - , Istisnaa‘ – ع Tawarruq – رق اand 1 Mushaarakah • “Mushaarakah” literally means sharing • “Mushaarakah” is derived from “shirkah” which means “being a partner”. • Mushaarakah is “a joint enterprises formed for conducting business in which all partners share the profit according to an agreed ratio while the loss is shared according to the ratio of investment” • It is an ideal alternative for interest based financing with far reaching effects on the economy.

...Professor Hunt-Ahmed Done by: Manar Al-Qari Starting an RF Bank in the United States This one of the best articles I’ve ever read. It is quoted from The Art of Islamic Banking and Finance Book and shows us the hard and lengthy efforts that the author went into to start a Riba-Free bank in the United States which is a banking sector targeting people from all faith and not only Muslims. The author focus was not just to convey the Shariah’s letter but also to satisfy anyone who believes in Judeo-Christian-Islamic values. I agree with the author that Riba Free Banking system is fair since it is an ethical system that complies with Shariah as mentioned in Quraan and Sunna. From my reading of the article I can consider the author as the Father of Riba Free Banking in the United States. There are a lot of benefits for starting Riba Free Banking system in America such as providing people (Muslims and non-Muslims) with larger choices and enable products’ diversifications. It will also increase the competition between Riba Free Banking system and the traditional conventional system and this competition is of course in favor of the customers. The author mentioned a case study of the main differences between a Riba-Free Islamic Banking and the conventional one. I think the Islamic choice is of more value since it is based in Return on Capital which is in compliance with Shariah standards. The starting point was in 1987 when the LARIBA bank (Shariah Compliant) was established as a depositary...

...Islamic banking and finance Submitted to: Sir Abubakar Siddique Submitted by: Atia Farooq Roll no: 4918 MBA 21(A) A sharia,h perspective of minimum account balance Requirement in Islamic banking Summary: This article describe sharia’h point of view weather its allow to Islamic banking to charge fee, cut profit and reduce free services when depositor have amount less the minimum requirement of amount in saving account and in current account. Conventional banks fix the minimum amount of saving account. Banks fix this amount to recover it service expenses. Mean amount of the interest (return on investment) must sufficient to recover its services expense. When depositor amount less the minimum requirement and due to which banks service charges increase as compare to interest then bank charge fee, or stop giving profit on saving account and also reduce providing free services. Some banks also have the same conditions for current banks but mostly not have such restrictions on current account, because banks not give any profit o current account so easily provide those free services. When saving account have amount less then minimum requirement bank convert these account in to current account and pay no profit on it. Bank also reduces the free services to savings account holder so When balance turn into zero then bank close the account of depositor. All banks whether conventional or Islamic suffer loss due to balance less...
