The relationship between Islam with a democratic political system has been questionable at best and incompatible at worst. While countless research has been done on this issue for decades especially with the rise of Islamist apologists in the years following the invasion of Iraq in 2003, this paper proposes that it is time we understand the role of

This article analyzes the important roles of Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) in combating money laundering with a special focus on the Agrobank. This article describes the legal and regulatory framework governing Islamic financial institutions and the conventional financial institutions to see whether there are any major or minor differences

The welding of high strength low alloy (X-65 HSLA) steels is essential for manufacturing, which inevitably affects the structural performance of the final product through the microstructure and mechanical properties of the weld joints as a result of the thermal cycles that the steel experiences during welding. In fact, there is general agreement th

Primary thyroid lymphoma is a relatively uncommon pathology of the thyroid gland that mainly occurs in elderly females. We describe a rare case of B-cell thyroid lymphoma in a young healthy male. It is an important diagnosis to be considered in patients presenting with a rapidly enlarging neck mass as its management is different from other differen

It has played a significant role in Malay history in general and in the history of modern Malaysia in particular. The Sultanate of Malacca is a glorious page in Malay history and one of the most prosperous kingdoms in the Malay world. The impo

The hard face surface layers have been developed on alloy steel material by preplacing hybrid ceramic particles on a substrate using conventional TIG torch melting technique (known as hard face surfacing). Surface layers thickness from 0.05 to 1.0 mm is formed, which are characterized by the process variables of heat input, particles feed rate and

A novel composite coated metallic material is invented based on single phase ceramic reinforcement and hybridization of composite coating using simple and cost effective TIG torch melting technique. This strategy provides better tribological behaviour of coated material even at higher temperature. Salient features of the product are: - Advanced lub

In the crypto world, there is a proverbial (and literal) gold rush now occurring. Currently, more than 37 gold-backed cryptocurrency companies have now emerged. Interestingly, some of them also claim to be Sharīʿah-compliant. Introducing precious metal-backed cryptocurrencies is perceived to be an innovation among global payment systems, hampered

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to determine the optimal profit-and-loss sharing (PLS)-based contract when market frictions occur. Design/methodology/approach – This paper opts for an adverse selection analysis and Monte Carlo simulation to assess the less risky contract for the principal and the agent when musharakah, mudarabah and vent
