Assistant Instructor: Faraz Rabbani

Description: In these 3 audience-specific short courses (for finance professionals, lawyers, and emerging Shari`ah scholars respectively), participants will be introduced to basic and intermediate-level concepts in Islamic financial ethics and law through a survey of several of the AAOIFI Shari`ah Standards. Specifically, we will review key precepts (mabadi`), principles (qawa`id) and ethico-legal values (ahkam), that are relevant to the application of the Islamic financial ethico-legal tradition (fiqh al-mu`amalat) to the domain of modern finance.

Location: Short courses are offered via Straightway Ethical's web-based training platform.

Duration: Summer Session (Jul 1-Aug 1). The first lecture will be available for download on July 1.

We are experiencing some technical issues with our online registration application which we are addressing now. If you would like to register for one of our short courses, know that they are still scheduled to begin July 1. Registration will be open as soon as possible. We apologize for the delay.

I am pleased to announce that we will be offering a third short course, specifically for lawyers--in addition to the two short courses for financial professionals and emerging shari`a scholars, respectively, that we were already planning on offering this summer!
