In the world of business, Muslims are striving to remain faithful to Islamic law while accommodating economic changes and technological advances. After providing a concise overview of the Muslim religion, this program explores the third pillar of faith—zakat, or alms-giving—and the Islamic financial system, where usury and speculation are forbidden but profit-sharing and dividends are mandatory. The application of zakat in everyday life is addressed, along with the impact of no-interest banking for a Saudi Arabian multinational conglomerate, the Albaraka Group. (53 minutes)
