How it is written
- Documents first.Every figure and every quote is traced to the document it came from, with the page or paragraph.
- No rulings.Durodola Abdulhad is a Fellow of the Institute of Islamic Finance Professionals, not a scholar. Every Sharia position is attributed to a named standard or body, such as AAOIFI or a central bank.
- For everyone.Non-interest finance is open to Muslims and non-Muslims. Where a bank's eligibility is mentioned, it is confirmed with that bank first.
- Corrections in public.Mistakes are corrected and dated, as on the source register.
Editions
Disclosure. Durodola is building a non-interest finance venture, Ascent Finance. This publication never promotes it and uses none of its private data. Research flows one way only: public research may inform the venture, never the reverse. No bank, scholar or institution pays for or reviews these editions.
