The intricate windings of the way
The worth of a treasury is indicated by the many locks upon it.
The greatness of the traveler’s goal
is marked by the intricate windings of the way,
and the mountain passes to be endured,
and the brigands infesting them.

read the article that u provided i ur previous post and thanks for it as it did give a little more understanding of Islamic finance. In India, Islamic Investment is gaining shape and popularity.
Being a banker, I have been asked more than once about my understanding of Islamic banking which was, to be honest, limited to a few articles that lie in my PC. But for the last few months a few of my friends have been attending islamic investment seminars and have given me some better insights.
