The dissertation seeks to contribute to the existing body of work in the area of Islamic finance by examining the extent of divergence in practice of Islamic financing from the traditional Shari`ah in the Australian context. To this end, the dissertation presents a discursive analysis of the regulation of Islamic Finance in Australia in terms of (a) the financing instruments used, (b) certainty of transactions between participants in the system, and (c) institutional risk management of Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs). The methodology chosen for the study is through the Shari`ah, where law, finance, economics and business form a single dimension only, even though a very significant one. Examination of the issues of this study is undertaken through the literature in the relevant field as well as the author’s personal expertise and working experience with several Islamic banks (IBs) and IFIs for a considerable period of time, in addition to his active involvement with at least two of Islamic Financial Services Providers (IFSPs) in Australia. / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
