A systematic study of the process of developing Islamic financial products for banks.Islamic banking began in the 1970s with the aim of providing financial services compatible with Islamic law. Driven by market forces it has grown rapidly in Muslim countries and in international financial sectors. It is projected to grow at an annual rate of 15-20% and a key factor determining this future growth is the availability of new products that will satisfy the needs of various segments of society.While other texts discuss the basic principles and contracts used in Islamic banking and finance, few discuss how these can be used to develop financial products.
