| 3.11 Bitcoin ecosystem is debasing the social order | 07 Jun 2021 | 00:26:33 | |
Good money and a good financial system need two things: 1] Collective cooperation that disincentivises the debasement of the currency. Today, unfortunately, governments are debasing our money, but the Crypto ecosystem is debasing the social order. The creation of money should be done for the public good and not for profit. -- Almir Colan's "Bitcoin 101" YouTube course is available at: https://bit.ly/30BZuOq

Join Islamic Finance Podcast Telegram channel at: https://t.me/IslamicFinancePodcast Don’t forget to rate our podcast *5 stars* wherever you listen to us! In this episode: We take a deeper look at ribawi transactions. In particular, we analyse the "Student loan" to see if it is ribawi or not. In recent times we have seen several opinions about student loans so this is an opportunity to learn how to break down any contract to its most simple form. By reducing this transaction to its most simple form we are able to establish the most fundamental truth about the substance of what seems like a complex or innovative new way of contracting. In the most simple forms, all contracts will have something in common. It is at this level that we look if rules or riba apply or not. Looking at the transaction from any higher place brings a level of abstraction that clouds the reality. What is Ribawi transaction? Ribawi transaction is an exchange of specific items that are subject to the rules of riba. Violating these rules leads to an unlawful gain which is called riba. The common denominator in these transactions is, for instance, an unequal exchange of money-for-money on the spot or as a deferred payment basis. Exchanging $100 on the spot for $120 in the future is an example of such an impermissible transaction due to the unlawful gain. The basis of these prohibitions is that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Gold for gold, weight for weight, like for like; and silver for silver, weight for weight, like for like. Whoever gives more or takes more has engaged in Riba." (Sunan an-Nasa'i 4569) “Do not sell gold for gold, except like for like, and don't increase something of it upon something;” (Sahih Muslim 1584a) "The bartering of gold for gold is Riba (usury), except if it is from hand to hand and equal in amount, …” (Al-Bukhari 2134) Podcast Hosted by Almir Colan.

| 2.9 Islamic FinTech challenge | 21 Dec 2020 | 00:18:05 | |
In this episode, we talk about the intersection between technology and finance and what opportunities or challenges it creates for the Islamic fintech industry. This year we have seen a strong rise in stocks for companies such as Zoom, Tesla and Amazon. With their tech-centric solutions, Amazon is redefining commerce, Zoom is changing the way we work, and Tesla’s software car is disrupting the automotive industry. The finance world is not far behind with Apple issuing their own credit cards and Facebook looking to start their own digital currency. In Australia, “buy now, pay later” firms like Afterpay and ZIPpay have benefited as the demand for debt financing increases during the economic slowdown. The challenge for Islamic firms is to reinvent their business model away from simply commercialising loans. This is because the nature of Islamic finance differs significantly from the conventional one. Profit that comes from money-for-money exchange represents illegitimate gain or riba. For Islamic FinTech platforms this means that profit must come from the underlying income generating assets or activities such as equity finance or company dividends. If FinTech platforms have a higher aspiration, they could for instance seek ways to connect more directly into manufacturing and production that grow the economy and creates jobs. In the years ahead, we could perhaps see more start-ups move towards mobile payment solutions just as we see with Alipay and WeChat that are now estimated to be taking almost half of the banking payment fees in China. At the end, customers will only use technology that serves their needs best. FinTech alone is not a competitive advantage any longer – instead products and services built on trust with a legal and regulatory environment at its core will win the day.

| 2.6 The Prohibition of Gharar (uncertainty, deception) | 30 Nov 2020 | 00:33:41 | |
Abu Hurairah states,“The Prophet forbade selling by way of tossing stones to settle a sale (Al-Haasah), and the sale of Gharar.” (Muslim) What is Gharar? Uncertainty, hazard, chance, risk, delusion, deception, danger, peril... Gharar is: - to make someone believe something that is false or vain. - to put someone in a dangerous position due to deception. - it looks very attractive but in reality it is something much different.

| 1.6 How Islamic Finance works | 26 Oct 2020 | 00:39:54 | |
In this episode, we introduce the basic principles of Islamic banking and finance. Learn some of the difference between conventional and Islamic banking. Globally, there is a demand for a fair and just banking system that the Islamic banking and finance industry provides. As this demand continues to rise, so does the awareness of the timeless principles and values of Islamic finance. Built upon the foundation of Islamic law, which prohibits usurious and speculative activities, the Islamic finance industry prides itself on engaging in business and financial dealings in an ethical manner. The sentiment of this industry is not one of greed, but one of mutual cooperation and partnership through a fair and equitable financial system. The Islamic finance industry has achieved such growth that it is now an astounding 2 trillion-dollar global industry. Not only is this the fastest-growing segment of the financial industry, but it is socially responsible and sustainable as well.

| 1.3 The 3 Pillars of Islamic Economy - The Shepherds model | 04 Oct 2020 | 00:59:12 | |
In this episode, we talk about a new model for Islamic economy: The Shepherds model. The first domain of wholesome Islamic economy is the capacity to take care of the weak. This primary indicator shows the moral leadership and wellbeing of society via its capacity to take care of those who are in need. This function is built on virtues like empathy and compassion where Islam legislates several mechanisms such as zakat, sadaqh, waqf and similar methods to discharge this obligation. Second, are regulatory measures that ensure that the economic system remains Shariah-compliant and not engages in activities that have a detrimental impact on society. This aspect of the economy ensures that ethical rules are respected and human effort is concentrated on activities that are approved by Islam. At the same time, it defines areas of commercial activities that are prohibited such as Riba (interest), Gharar (excessive risk) and similar. The final critical part of economic development is in the domain of its entrepreneurial aspect. In this part, we define the vision and what economic leadership looks like in order to drive human potential towards the just and thriving economic system.
