The Islamic finance industry has achieved such growth that it is now an astounding 2 trillion-dollar global industry. Not only is this the fastest growing segment of the financial industry, but it is also socially responsible and sustainable as well.

"Almir Colanโs genuine care, extensive knowledge and creative ways to explain complex issues make his course very engaging, interesting, and highly beneficial. I took the course and I must say, the thoroughness of each subject matter is much more than what you would normally expect from an intensive Islamic Finance course."

"The AusCIF course is spectacular, it provides the student with a concise yet hollistic understanding of the vastly growing Islamic finance industry and its innovative Shariah compliant products. Though what I mostly found intriguing was its practical approach on dealing with everyday transactions. As Muslims we are compelled to further our Islamic knowledge in order to correctly incorporate it into our daily lives, this includes the ability to identify prohibited acts hence avoiding them. I highly advise my brothers and sisters to register to this course, its truely a wonerful opportunity for them to understand the Islamic position concerning transactions."
