The Catholic Herald Podcast: Merely Catholic with Gavin Ashenden
Tim Dieppe, the head of public policy at Christian Concern, joins Dr Gavin Ashenden for this 97th episode of Merely Catholic, the podcast series for the Catholic Herald, to discuss his new book, The Challenge of Islam. This book discusses the increasing influence of Islam in the UK and how non-Muslims might respond. Chapters include: “Is Islam a Religion of Peace?”, “Is Islam Antisemitic?”, “What's wrong with Multiculturalism?”, and “What's wrong with Islamic Finance?” The book concludes with some policy proposals that would make a difference. In their conversation, Mr Dieppe and Dr Ashenden also confront the theological question of whether Allah is the same as the God of the Bible.
Understanding Tarbiyah Islamiyah: Nurturing Faith through Islamic Education1. IntroductionTarbiyah Islamiyah refers to the comprehensive Islamic upbringing that nurtures a believer's faith, character, and actions. It involves spiritual growth, ethical conduct, and acquiring beneficial knowledge. In this article, we explore the importance of Islamic education through Quranic and Hadith references.2. Submission to Allah's CommandsA believer submits completely to Allah's will, without question."It is not for a believing man or woman—when Allah and His Messenger decree a matter—to have any other choice in that matter. Indeed, whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has clearly gone far astray." (Quran 33:36)True submission is an essential aspect of Islamic education, leading to contentment and obedience.3. The Importance of Good CharacterIslamic education emphasizes good manners and humility. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:"Every religion has its distinct characteristic, and the distinct characteristic of Islam is modesty." (Sunan Ibn Majah 4182)Cultivating good character through Tarbiyah Islamiyah strengthens individual and community ties.4. Love for Allah and His MessengerA core aspect of Islamic education is fostering love for Allah and His Messenger."Whoever possesses the following three qualities will have the sweetness of faith: 1. The one to whom Allah and His Messenger become dearer than anything else. 2. Who loves a person solely for Allah's sake. 3. Who hates to revert to disbelief as he hates to be thrown into the Fire." (Sahih al-Bukhari 16)5. Remembering AllahFrequent remembrance of Allah brings tranquility and strengthens faith."Remember Me; I will remember you. And thank Me, and never be ungrateful." (Quran 2:152)Regular recitation of Dhikr (remembrance) is a key practice taught in Islamic education.6. Seeking Forgiveness and RepentanceRepentance is a means of purification and renewal of faith."O people, seek repentance from Allah. Verily, I seek repentance from Him a hundred times a day." (Sahih Muslim 2702b)"And turn to Allah in repentance all together, O believers, so that you may be successful." (Quran 24:31)7. Having Good Thoughts of AllahMaintaining a positive perception of Allah is encouraged."Allah says: 'I am just as My slave thinks I am, and I am with him if he remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I remember him in Myself; if he remembers Me in a group, I remember him in a better group. If he comes one span nearer to Me, I go one cubit nearer to him; if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.'" (Sahih al-Bukhari 7405)Trusting in Allah's mercy and having hope in His forgiveness are important lessons in Tarbiyah Islamiyah.8. ConclusionIslamic education is a lifelong journey of spiritual and moral development. Through sincere submission, good character, love for Allah and His Messenger, remembrance of Allah, repentance, and positive thinking, Muslims nurture their faith and strive for success in this life and the Hereafter.May Allah guide us all on the path of righteousness.

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

Im Islamic Banking sind Zinsen verboten. Geld sollte an die Realwirtschaft gebunden sein. Das macht es schwierig, mit Kreditkarte zu bezahlen oder eine Säule 3a anzulegen. Was also gibt es für Möglichkeiten und warum kann Islamic Banking auch für nicht-muslimische Menschen attraktiv sein? Geld soll keinen Schaden anrichten. Davon sind Vertreterinnen und Vertreter des islamischen Finanzwesens überzeugt. So gilt nebst dem Zins- und Spekulationsverbot auch, dass auf Investitionen in Tabak, Alkohol oder Waffen verzichtet wird. Und wenn eine gläubige muslimische Familie ein Haus kauft, gibt es Alternativen zur herkömmlichen Hypothek. Scharia konforme Finanzprodukte bieten islamische Banken an, wie etwa die deutsche KT Bank. Bei Schweizer Grossbanken gibt es Scharia freundliche Lösungen, die ähnliche Anlagekriterien verfolgen. Michael Gassner, Finanzexperte und selbst muslimisch, setzt sich seit Jahren dafür ein, dass Musliminnen und Muslime hierzulande halal wirtschaften können. Derzeit bemüht er sich etwa für eine Säule 3a, die den islamischen Vorgaben entspricht. Das kommt bei jungen Schweizer Musliminnen und Muslimen gut an. Zu Wort kommen in der Sendung: · Michael Gassner, Pionier des Islamic Banking im deutschsprachigen Kontext und Head of Islamic Finance einer Schweizer Privatbank · Junger Schweizer Muslim, der mit seinem Geld gemäss den islamischen Gesetzen wirtschaftet · Stefan Leins, Professor an der Universität Bern für Sozialanthropologie, mit besonderem Forschungsinteresse für kulturelle Praktiken in Finanzmärkten

Harris Irfan, CEO Cordoba Capital Markets & Advisor at @OnrampMENA joins me to discuss challenges and opportunities within Islamic finance, ethics of finance in business and the intersection of Islamic finance and Bitcoin. Harris highlights building a financial system focused on real economy transactions, sharing insights on finance, custody, and Bitcoin investment. Summary In this conversation, Harris Irfan discusses his journey from conventional finance to Islamic finance and Bitcoin. He explores the challenges and opportunities within Islamic finance, particularly in relation to ethical finance and risk-sharing principles. The discussion delves into the intersection of Islamic finance and Bitcoin, highlighting the potential for Bitcoin to serve as a sound monetary system that aligns with Islamic principles. Harris emphasizes the importance of creating a financial system that prioritizes real economy transactions over speculative practices, and he shares insights on the future of finance, custody, and investment decisions in a Bitcoin standard. Takeaways Harris Irfan transitioned from conventional finance to Islamic finance and Bitcoin. Islamic finance emphasizes ethical finance and risk-sharing principles. Bitcoin is viewed as a modern form of sound money, potentially more Islamic than gold. The challenges of Islamic finance are exacerbated by the fiat banking system. Custody solutions for Bitcoin are evolving, with a focus on self-custody. Cultural perspectives on money influence the adoption of Bitcoin in Muslim communities. Trade finance can be structured to align incentives between investors and businesses. The VC industry may need to adapt to a sound money standard. Hurdle rates for investments will change in a Bitcoin economy. Optimism about the future of Bitcoin is essential for its growth.

AAOIFI, the Accounting and Auditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institutions, last year published its draft of Shariah Standard No. 62, which — if adopted as proposed — would alter the credit profile of sukuk from an asset-based structure to an asset-backed one.The standard could be adopted and formalised by as soon as next year. Its implementation could "disrupt" the global sukuk market, as Mohamed outlines in this podcast. In his capacity as Global Head of Islamic Finance at S&P Global Ratings, Mohamed leads their cross-practice analytical thought leadership initiatives and credit rating activities in the Islamic Finance sector globally.
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.

With its interest-based banking and casino-style financial instruments, a devout believer has no choice but to attempt to escape its haram, even if that hinders the progress and prosperity of our daily lives. In recent years, Islamic finance has been touted as an ethical alternative. A way to escape the haram riba based economy. Some have even presented it as an alternative to financial capitalism. The rationale behind these products is to accommodate the detailed Shariah rulings on trade and many Islamic scholars have endorsed products that Western financial institutes and governments have embraced. Our guest today was an Islamic finance industry insider. Harris Irfan is currently the CEO of Cordoba Capital Markets https://www.ccmkts.com. 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, and 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.
As a Muslim, Khalid Kadir navigates personal finance differently than most of his fellow Americans. That means not obtaining traditional loans (because you're charged interest, which is forbidden) or buying conventional insurance (because it often relies on speculation). Khalid, who teaches engineering at UC Berkeley, explains how following the rules of Islamic finance has meant a much less glamorous life than he might otherwise have, one with unexpected good karma.
