Decisions define who we are. The paths we choose mark out our lives-who we marry, how we make a living, even our very names-all of these can be traced back to a decision that someone somewhere has made. This book is an essential guide for those who want to find goodness along the paths they have chosen in life. In this short work, the author presents a masterful treatment of the subject of the Prophetic sunnah of Istikharah, the supplication for those faced with a decision.

Causes and Remedies of the Recent Financial Crisis From an Islamic Perspective As the leading authority on modern Islamic finance in the world today, no one was better qualified to speak for Islam at the annual World Economic Forum following the global financial crisis in 2010.

In the pages of this slim volume, the reader will find a concise study of the fundamental flaws in the global economic system, and the eternal principles articulated by the Shariah of Islam that point to a solution. - Yusuf Talal DeLorenzo, Shariah Consultant to Global Financial Institutions Mufti Taqis paper, written in the context of global financial crisis, calls for universal change in our attitude toward the treatment of money and the role of financial system in our lives.

A must read for all who are concerned about the current affairs of our financial system. - Nazim Ali, Director, Islamic Finance Project, Harvard Law School | Harvard University.
