Which is paving the way towards work that is based on rightness, justice and the practice of transparency, integrity and honesty, the elevation of our reality with the help of our Islamic legislation though wise and balanced application . keeping pace of the evolution and the development of time , and competing against rival corporate in a full and crowded world.
where extra efforts are required to avoid the deficiency in applied legislation in a time where International Economy is witnessing a huge change driven by a quick pace , cramming events and a multitude of variables, in a world with a plethora of crises in a frantic race where material prevailed, emptied of all values and declining morals. Conflicts and tragedies prevailed resulting in bankruptcy of a number of companies, collapsing of banks and corporate, and creating a crack in financial transactions and stock exchange majorly affected by the companies bankruptcy and the collapsing of banks and financial corporate.
The surviving of financial institutions and Islamic banks in this chaos only means exacerbating their legitimate and financial responsibility , to overcome this crisis by strengthening its foundations and protecting them through wise application of Banking businesses under what is called Governance.
