  • af Helle Merete Brix & Lars Vilks
    207,95 kr.

    Hvordan er det at leve et liv, hvor man konstant er omgivet af livvagter? Hvad drømmer livvagter mon om på de langevagter? Hvilket liv har Salman Rushdie haft i de 30 år, hvor han har været dødsdømt? Og hvorfor får kineserne lov at storme frem i verden, når styret bliver mere og mere brutalt?Det er nogle af de temaer, Helle Merete Brix kredser om i 30 meget forskellige og personlige tekster. Der er både tale om fiktive, satiriske breve fra bin Laden-familien til forskellige blasfemikere, poetiske essays om de samtaler, troende og ateister kan have med hinanden, og refleksioner over historiens turbulente gang tilbage fra inkvisitionens kætterbål.Den verdensberømte tegner Lars Vilks har illustreret hvert kapitel med en tegning. De er lavet som "blindtegninger", hvor kunstneren udfører sin idé uden at se på papiret imens. Dermed bliver tegningerne andet og mere end rene illustrationer. Resultatet er overraskende, utraditionelt og inspirerende for betragteren, der selv kan digte med på, hvad tegningen forestiller.Både Helle Merete Brix og Lars Vilks er overlevende fra angrebet på Krudttønden i 2015. Allerede i 2007 udstedte al-Qaeda en fatwa mod Vilks og satte en pris på hans hoved. Det er første gang siden fatwaen blev udstedt, at Lars Vilks har fået mulighed for at udgive nogle af sine værker.Uddrag af bibliotekernes anmeldelse:"Helle Merete Brix bevæger sig ubesværet rundt i de emner, der optager hende, og skriver både satirisk, alvorligt, fagligt og fiktionsorienteret om politiske emner og om tro og ateisme og ikke mindst om at bibeholde den indre frihed."

The global expansion of Islamic finance, its integration into global markets, and a comparative analysis with Western banking systems provide a broader perspective.Consumer behavior, market dynamics, and marketing strategies for Islamic financial products are scrutinized to understand the evolving market trends. The book also candidly addresses the challenges faced by Islamic banks, including operational, regulatory, and market penetration issues, proposing practical solutions.Sustainability and social responsibility form a crucial part of Islamic banking, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria. The book celebrates success stories from the Islamic banking sector, showcasing innovations and best practices.With chapters dedicated to education, training, and the role of academic institutions in Islamic finance, the book underscores the importance of knowledge dissemination for the growth of this sector.

    I was brought up in a society where I found traditional as well as modern Islam. I used to feel that there is something more to know. Many questions clouded my mind, such as the concept of a veil in Islam. Do people wear it as a part of their culture and if it is the command of Allah then to what extent is it? I came to know from different sources that woman is not allowed to go out of their houses; they neither can go for education nor any job. There is segregation of man and woman to the extent that if lady doctor is not available to attend thepregnant woman, she is left to die.

    Riba is a most mysterious subject. Even to our great predecessors it proved to be a very enigmatic prospect. Where does Riba manifest itself? How? Where does one draw the line? How does one know whether a transaction is Riba, or just looks like it?Sometimes it is clear, and other times it is like being in a hall of mirrors. One wonders whether it is a true reflection, or just an illusion.It is an action that practically every human has done in his lifetime. Changing money. Not the changing into another currency, but getting change for larger bills.What rules govern this type of transaction? What are the pitfalls of which to be careful? What are the views and disputes of scholars?

    Islamic institutions have had a very long history, whose performance was muted during the Colonial Period. However, after the Second World War, the revival of the Islamic institutions began. Throughout its history, it had been assumed that these institutions are working for the betterment of humanity. Their target is to achieve a high level of the welfare for the concerned community. Historically these institutions were waqf, zakat and sadaqat. However from the last three decades, Islamic financial institutions have been established with the objective of providing interest- free products, transaction and services for Muslims. However there has been lot of criticism on the performance and role of these institutions. This becomes especially pertinent in a Muslim country like Indonesia, where there is a dire need to know that how these institutions are working and if it is possible for them to achieve the objectives of the Shari'ah. Some scholars have claimed that these institutions are performative and only serving 'lip service', and there are no significant differences between the Islamic and secular institutions where both kinds of institutions operate on the same foundations and differ only in use of technical terminologies. This volume aims to analyze some of the Islamic institutions which are operating in the world's biggest Muslim country, Indonesia, as a case study and analyze the contemporary Islamic Banking products and practices in the light of 'Maqasad al-Shari'ah'. The book's objective is to propose an improved system of Islamic institutions for Muslims to refer to. This volume will also analyze why these institutions are currently not able to comply with the Maqasad al Shari'ah and how it is possible to enhance the level of economic development, social wellbeing, individual freedom and equality, elimination of injustice and poverty, and achieve the other targets of the Maqasad through these institutions.

    Introduction1. Context Building:One of the crucial macroeconomic areas, which has been at the center of the focus in India nearly for the past three decades, is the soundness and efficiency of the Indian banking system. It is now well recognized the world over that a well-functioning banking sector is a pivotal hinge on which hinges the stability of the financial system. The stability of the financial system defines the growth prospects of the economy and the pace of growth that could be realized. A greater realization of this fact in the post-1990 economic scenario has been keeping the Indian banking system at the center of the focus of the policy planners and Government. With the passage of time, the focus on the banking system is getting accentuated by two major factors- the growing universalization of banking operations and increasinginternationalization of banking operations.

    Mentre alcuni hanno proposto che la finanza islamica serva come veicolo per il recupero dalla crisi finanziaria internazionale e l'industria bancaria islamica potrebbe essere in grado di rafforzare la propria posizione nel mercato internazionale, in quanto investitori e società cercano fonti alternative di finanziamento. Altri economisti hanno sostenuto che la finanza islamica è un modo diverso di strutturare i rapporti finanziari; ma non è un sistema finanziario totalmente diverso. Questo libro cerca di individuare le cause principali e gli effetti dell'attuale crisi finanziaria ed economica. Oltre a discutere la convinzione che la finanza islamica e la sua prospettiva sia una valida alternativa al malato sistema finanziario globale.

    Although a significant number of waqf institutions exist globally, the success of these institutions relies on efficient governance, regulation, supervision mechanisms and effective management. Since most countries and regions do not have enabling waqf regulations or monitoring processes, the value and output of Awqaf assets are mostly on the decline. The potential, however, is enormous. Thus, this book focuses on the application of these concepts and some possible roles that waqf may play in the socio-economic development of the Muslim societies.
