BUILDING INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN THE ISLAMIC
WORLD
Edited by Ziauddin Sardar
Information is power. Industrialised
nations control the world simply because they generate and distribute
the main raw material and principal product of modern economies
- information. This book examines the reasons why Muslims
have neglected to develop their own information structures;
highlights areas of particular concern, and instances where
progress is being made; and charts a course out of the present
state of information dependency.

CONCEPTS OF ISLAMIC UMMAH AND SHARIAH
Muhammad Mumtaz Ali
This book raises fundamental questions
about the methodology needed for the implementation of the Shariah.
The author has developed a "Three-Tier-Linkage" model to operationalize
the Shariah in its true spirit. There are four ingredients
that will make the Ummah a reality, namely faith, action, organisation
and leadership. He also looks at the philosophical and
ideological issues involved and addresses key contemporary issues,
such as the fall of the Soviet Empire and the next challenge
facing the world and Muslims.

DEVELOPMENT AND DISTRIBUTION IN ISLAM
Ataul Huq (Pramanik)
This is the first book to examine growth,
poverty and distribution in the modern Islamic perspective,
encompassing material, moral and spiritual dimensions.
It focuses on the question why, despite experiencing rapid development
over the last few decades, the vast majority of the poverty-stricken,
underprivileged countries in the Muslim World have been by-passed;
instead of being involved, they have been alienated by the class-biased
development strategies.

ISLAMIC BANKING - Rules and Regulations
Sudin Haron
Islamic banks must conform to Shariah and
positive laws. While rules and regulations of Shariah
are derived from AI-Quran, Hadith, ljma and Qiyaz, positive
laws are given by the civil authority. With regard to
the Islamic banking system, Shariah does not provide any single
decree that gives all the rules and guidelines to be followed
by Islamic banks.
