About us

As recent graduates ourselves working with some of the top city firms we know how difficult it can remain steadfast with your Deen while juggling responsibilities to this notion of a “Career”. Which is why we decided to set up Deen in the City; to serve as an open platform for professionals to voice their concerns at the current practices of modern business.  What makes our seminar different from others is that we don’t wish to dwell into the technical aspects of the financial system – plenty of those around. Instead, we will primarily focus on the day-to-day issues that most of us face in the workplace as professional muslims, and the compromises that we sometimes feel we might have to make in order to fit in.

The Speakers

By the grace of Allah , we have managed to secure some renowned speakers who regularly frequent the Islamic finance speaking circle. Not only do they posses knowledge of the Deen but are also highly accomplished practitioners with experience in the City. We hope they are able to impart some useful advice to the growing young Muslim professional population working in the accounting and banking sectors.

Tarek El Diwany graduated in Accounting and Finance from Lancaster University in 1985. He formerly worked in the government bond market until moving into the Islamic finance arena as head of Islamic finance for a major financial institution based in London. In 1997, he wrote his first book The Problem With Interest, and in the same year launched www.islamic-finance.com where he is now the Editor. In addition to his work as a writer, Tarek is a partner at Zest Advisory LLP, a London-based firm providing consulting services in Islamic banking and finance, and is a frequent speaker on the topic of Islamic banking at conferences throughout the world.

He has given several lectures and talks on the subject of Islam and modern financial topics, such as the preparation of wills, Islamic investments and the prohibiton of usury.

Information does not necessarily equate to beneficial knowledge, especially in the field of religion. The Sacred Knowledge of Allah and His Prophet ??? ???? ???? ???? is unique among all disciplines of learning, and thus demands a distinct approach and method of study. Its correct acquisition and successful application require a vision of lofty ideals and an inculcation of noble qualities in the individual.

This intensive course, under the tutelage of an eminent and erudite scholar, aims to educate and equip the student with the necessary understanding and etiquettes to beneficially acquire and apply Sacred Islamic Knowledge.

CHAPTER 11. Whoever ordered his servant to give something in charity and

did not give it himself.

720. Narrated ‘isha ??? ???? ???? : Allâh’s Messenger ??? ???? ???? ???? said, When a woman gives in charity some of the foodstuff (which she has in her house) without spoiling it, she will receive the reward for what she has spent, and her husband will receive the reward because of his earning, and the storekeeper will also have a reward similar to it. The reward of one will not decrease the reward of the others. (2:506O.B.)
