That's what I get for listening to Sharia Finance Experts like
Patrick Sookhdeo
from the Institute for the Study of Islam and Christianity, and author of
"Understanding Sharia Finance: The Muslim Challenge to Western Economics."
From Chapter 6. titled "Sharia Finance as Jihad"
"
Jiahd bi'l Mal ("wealth") and
bi' al-Nafs ("self-sacrifice"): the struggle against the infidel and polytheists.
In the majority of Qur'anic verses about jihad, the use of wealth in jihad comes first, before actual fighting and self-sacrifice. It is worth noting that self-sacrifice gains the highest reward."
According to Qur'an and sunna, Allah commands Muslims to devote their wealth and their lives to jihad.
Shari'a finance is a modern reconstruction and extension of the directives to
economic jihad contained in the Quran and hadith.
Shari'a-compliant finance [also known as "
SCF"] is defined by it's theological opposition to all non-islamic forms of conventional banking, identified primarily by interest and risk.
The financial products and operations of
sharia finance are based upon mimicking or altering of these conventional financial norms,
the results of which are deception and confusion."
