Abstract
In the previous chapter, Islamic finance and its background were discussed in order to understand the nature of Islamic finance from a Shari’ah point of view. In order to obtain a thorough understanding of the system of Islamic finance, there was also a discussion of the different types of riba. The present chapter moves on to an explanation of the objectives of Islamic finance. These objectives have been classified into four separate categories: Islamic objectives, social objectives, ethical objectives and economic objectives.
