Description:

With Islamic banking gradually becoming a more influential factor in the West, an analysis of the concept of riba a definition of which is not given in the Quran is long overdue. This text presents readers with various interpretations of this Islamic economic concept generally perceived as interest. Thomas provides a framework for understanding riba by examining: linguistics classical judicial analysis the historical contextnbsp; modern economics. Including contributions from prominent international scholars, the book fills a gap in the existing literature and will be welcomed by academics and professionals with an interest in Islamic studies, economics and legal history.
