Tarek el Diwany is an advisor and speaker as well as contributing editor of 1st Ethical’s Islamic Finance text-book which, perhaps uniquely, not only thoroughly explains prevailing practices within the industry but also seeks to explore other Islamic narratives alongside an exploration of classic jurisprudence (fiqh) principles and banking practices.
The text book is increasingly used globally as a text for various post-graduate Islamic Finance courses alongside underpinning a stand-alone elective module on under-graduate courses.
Tarek graduated in Accounting and Finance from the University of Lancaster in 1985, and established a fixed-income derivatives dealing desk and Islamic project finance department for a major financial institution in London during the 1990’s and now works as a consultant and analyst in the field of Islamic finance for Zest Advisory LLP.
He is also the author of The Problem With Interest, writer and presenter of the film documentary Why are We All in Debt? and editor of www.islamic-finance.com.
