Sheikh Moustapha Sarakibi
The AusCIF course is spectacular, it provides the student with a concise yet hollistic understanding of the vastly growing Islamic finance industry and its innovative Shariah compliant products. Though what I mostly found intriguing was its practical approach on dealing with everyday transactions.
Sadia Karim, CEO, Yurizk
Almir Colan’s genuine care, extensive knowledge and creative ways to explain complex issues make his course very engaging, interesting, and highly beneficial. I took the course and I must say, the thoroughness of each subject matter is much more than what you would normally expect from an intensive Islamic Finance course.

Why learn about Islamic Finance?
Globally, there is a demand for a fair and just banking system.
As this demand continues to rise, so does the awareness of the timeless principles and values of Islamic finance. Built upon the foundation of Islamic law, which prohibits usurious and speculative activities, the Islamic finance industry prides itself on engaging in business and financial dealings in a fair and ethical manner.
The course covers key principles underlying Islamic finance, prohibitions and modes of financing.
The Rise of Islamic Economy and Finance
Today the Islamic economy is beginning to rise as 1.8 billion Muslims around the globe begin to make commercial decisions that are driven by faith and values.
There are over 50 Muslim majority countries that represent over $19.4 trillion in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms. These same countries also represent some of the fastest- growing global economies in the world.
It is estimated that by the year 2023, Islamic Finance will reach $3.8 trillion, followed by Halal food US$1.8 trillion, modest fashion $361 billions, Halal media and recreation $288 billion, Halal travel $274 billion, Halal pharmaceuticals $131 and so on.
In this course, you will learn about Islamic Finance as the engine of growth for the Islamic Economy.
