Abstract

Pessimists would rather declare the Islamic finance industry as clinically dead. Such dim expectation would become a reality when the industry will completely switch to selling present for future money through contrived sale contracts. The writings are plenty on the wall. We need to listen and respond seriously. Calling for the reform of the industry could be the last attempt to save it. Rusni Hassan’s paper (2020) provides a good perspective of the current problem, albeit a little dispassionate. This comment provides a brief explanation of the theoretical rationale and the macroeconomic benefits of Islamic finance. It diagnoses the problem of Islamic finance as that of convergence. In addition, a few modest proposals are presented to mitigate the problem. المتشائمون يفضلون إعلان الموت السريري لصناعة التمويل الإسلامي. وسوف يكون هذا التوقع حقيقة واقعة عندما تتجه هذه الصناعة كليةً إلى بيع الحاضر بالآجل بعقود مستقبلية. والكتابات حول هذه الإشكالية كثيرة ومتعددة، لذلك نحن بحاجة للاستماع لها والرد عليها بجدية، فربما تكون هذه هي الفرصة الأخيرة لإصلاح هذه الصناعة. تقدم ورقة رسني حسن (2020م) تشخيصاً جيدًا للمشكلة الحالية، على الرغم من عدم التسليم بكل ما ورد فيها. ويقدم هذا التعليق شرحًا موجزًا للأساس المنطقي والفوائد الاقتصادية الكلية للتمويل الإسلامي. ويشخص مشكلة التمويل الإسلامي على أنها مشكلة التقارب. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، فإنه يقدم مقترحات متواضعة للتخفيف من هذه المشكلة.
