Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah, Aziz.
Thank you for your comment. I am a student of accountancy and finance from Pakistan. This blog was set up with the aim to be a “knowledge-center” on the Islamic Finance industry. Your suggestion is excellent; Insha Allah we will attempt to write something on this topic.
Take care and salams,
Haris.

This is a good list which may be further expanded by including books from website of IRTI, most of them are freely available on their site http://www.irti.org. Further, the complete Riba Judgement of Supreme Court is available on the website of http://www.niyazi.com, which needs to be added. Moreover, a link to IFSB website containing regulatory standards for Islamic finanancial instiutions may also be added. A wealth of free literature is also available on the web on this subject. Keep up the good work.

Excellent informative website and Islamic Finance booklist reccomendations, I could only add “Basic Mechanics of Islamic Capitalism” (ISBN 978-988-17217-2-3) to the list.

Asslamulaikum Haris,
You have initiated good work for the awareness of the Islamic banking. Keep going brother. I just want to know that whether or not you have worked on the journal entries regarding all of the Islamic banking products so that we can easily assess the difference between the conventional accounting entries (debts and other financial products) and Islamic banking products (sukook, musharka etc).
Based on my understanding, Islamic banking follows AAOIFI so please if you can reply the accounting entries of Sukuk according to AAOIFI or send me any sort of website link through with I can understanding the accounting entries.
Jazakallah.
