Muslim World Book Review
First edition reviewed by Muhammad Akram Khan
October 1999

After much waiting a refreshing book on the subject of interest has finally appeared. In the din of confusing voices for and against interest, this is an enjoyably frank treatment of the subject ... I recommend it as compulsory reading for all those interested in the subject of interest and the Islamic position on money and banking.

American Journal of Islamic Finance
Second edition reviewed by M. Syed Hoque
April 2004

This is a well-researched, practical and comprehensive book on the flaws of the conventional fractional reserve banking system based on riba (interest). Some background in finance is assumed, and yet it is accessible to the lay-person who wants to understand the history of money, the eradication of gold as a legal tender and store of wealth, why certain Islamic financial products are in the early stages of implementation, and why others are not fully Sharia'a compliant yet.

Amazon Book Review # 1
H. Schacht
August 2004

I received this book as a present and, as usual with books I don't really want to read, decided to take it on holiday. I wish I hadn't though because it made compelling reading. Being an accountant I thought I understood money but here was a very interesting Islamic viewpoint which challenges our notions of 'orthodox' economics. In fact, it's not exclusively an Islamic voice but rather the voice of reason.

Amazon Book Review # 2

October 2004

A comprehensive and fairly complex analysis of economic and monetary systems in the west today, yet an eye-opener to the self-destructive system we live in. Thoroughly recommended.

Amazon Book Review # 3
T. Choudhury
November 2007

This is a fantastic book which really provides a convincing argument for the rationale of why interest is forbidden in Islam (and in Christian and Jewish faiths) ... I highly recommend reading this book to open your mind to alternatives in terms of how humanity governs its economic infrastructure.
