It is no secret that there are countries that claimed their system is more Syariah compliant than others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the area of Islamic Finance, for example, there is divergence between countries like Malaysia which innovate Islamic financial products and countries in the Middle East which have a very strict standard of compliance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This, he said, has to do with cultural differences rather than interpretation of what is Syariah compliant. While it is normal to disagree on things it should not stifle the growth of the Islamic system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Islamic system can provide a more socially just mechanism for financing business, where debts do not grow exponentially like overtaking returns on investments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The conference is chaired by the Secretary of Ekonis, Dr Suhaili Alma\u2019amun. Prof Dr Hajah Mustafa Mohd Hanefah, Dean (Research and Innovation) USIM attended the conference together with participants from Sudan, Iran, Indonesia, Brunei, USA and Malaysia.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/images\/stories\/Icon\/ukmnewsportal.png\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"border\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/images\/stories\/Campus2012\/EkonomiIslam2.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"leftblock\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TUESDAY, 06 NOVEMBER 2012 19:21 By Shahfizal Musa Foto\u00a0 Md Noor Ramly BANGI, 5 Nov 2012 &#8211; Islamic entrepreneurship when<a class=\"tukm-readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/archive\/year-2012\/november-2012\/islamic-economic-world-order-upholds-social-justice-for-all\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6681,"parent":1302,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6680","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6680"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6680\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6683,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6680\/revisions\/6683"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1302"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6681"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
