Money Creation and Islamic Banks

Creation of Money and Islamic Banks

Dr. Asad Zaman[1]

1      Introduction

In ancient times, alchemists searched for the secrets of turning base metals into gold. In modern times, the fractional reserve banking system has turned the dreams of the alchemists into a reality. However, the secrets of credit creation by banks are kept hidden from the general public. For this reason, discussions and controversies about Islamic banking have not mentioned this crucial issue, even though rulings about the legitimacy or otherwise of financial transaction within Islamic law depend on it. 

Pakistani & Egyptian Armies and the Current Yemen Crisis

Wal-Mart is the world’s largest retailer with more than 4,300 stores in the United States and over 8,000 worldwide, with global sales topping $400 billion in 2009. Walton family owns Wal-Mart, and they own more wealth than the bottom 40 percent of Americans. Many research studies have thoroughly documented the negative impacts of  Wal-Mart  on local economies. These studies have shown that in cities and towns where Wal-Mart opened its stores the local stores went out of business and unemployment rose.  After a single Wal-Mart opened in Chicago in September 2006, 82 of the 306 small  businesses in the surrounding neighborhood had gone out of business by March  2008. The common customer thinks that he/she is getting a better price but that is not necessarily true and definitely not in the long run. Why, you would ask.
