I had no idea what was about to happen to me—and to many thousands of others. What started with one task soon became a major funding initiative. One success leads to another. Whatever my team and I were doing was working. We had no coaching. We were encouraged to take risks—and the risks were paying off. The ministry I was serving with at the time was experiencing accelerated growth in many ways. I was a small part of this. I was keenly aware that if my area of responsibility was successful, more people could experience spiritual transformation. Independent of me, the ministry decided that considerably more funding was needed. Soon, a billion-dollar vision became the goal. This type of for ministry expansion had never been raised before.https://larryonan.com/----------------------------------When It Worked Podcasthttps://getoffthedamnphone.com/podcast

Concepts, Challenges, and Investing in Islamic Finance | Elephant in the Room S02Ep06 by Capital FM

For a conscientious Muslim, managing ones money in the West can be a difficult prospect. Islam has a series of rules to do with money, the prohibition of riba (interest) being the key one, and rules on trade that often places it at odds with a rather laissez faire Neo liberal model. Muslims feel a sense of unease when we place our money in banks or engage is investment opportunities that may contravene Islamic precepts. Our guest today was an Islamic finance industry insider. Harris Irfan is currently the CEO of Cordoba Capital Markets. He has 29 years of investment banking and consulting experience. He was the former co-founder of Deutsche Bank's world-leading Islamic finance team and CEO of Deutsche's Islamic finance subsidiary. He is the Former Global Head of Islamic Finance at Barclays, then Head of Investment Banking for the Rasmala group. He is also the author of "Heaven's Bankers: Inside the Hidden World of Islamic Finance", the critically acclaimed best-seller about the Islamic finance industry.Let me remind all viewers that to help us continue to engage critical thought at this time, please consider becoming a Patron. https://www.patreon.com/TheThinkingMuslimYou can also support The Thinking Muslim through a one-time donation: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/DonateSign up to Muhammad Jalal's newsletter: https://jalalayn.substack.comPurchase our Thinking Muslim mug: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/merch Find us on:Twitter: https://twitter.com/thinking_muslimFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Thinking-Muslim-Podcast-105790781361490Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinkingmuslimpodcast/Telegram: https://t.me/thinkingmuslim Host: https://twitter.com/jalalaynWebsite Archive: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com Hosted on Acast.
