Book Review: Islamic Law of Business Organization : Partnerships, Islamabad, by: Imran Ahsan Khan Nyazee, Reviewed by: MOHAMMED HASHIM KAMALI مراجعة علمية لكتاب: الأحكام الإسلامية في تنظيم الأعمال : المشاركات، تأليف: عمران إحسان خان نيازي، مراجعة: محمد هاشم كمالي

This book provides the most detailed presentation of partnerships in Islamic law in the English language. It marks the first substantive volume in the series Islamic Law and jurisprudence that the Islamic Research Institute has started under the General Editorship of Professor Zafar Ishaq Ansari. Professor Ansari has also written a foreword in which he has spoken strongly about the author's robust confidence in Islamic law and the contribution the author has made by addressing challenging issues of business and finance in his area of specialisation. Having read Nyazee's work,I am in no doubt as to his firm grasp and substantive knowledge of the subject, but I have seen many weaknesses in his style of writing, attitude to issues, and presentation. Nyazee has informed his readers in several places about a compendium volume that he is planning to publish in the near future under the title Islamic Law of Business Organization: Corporations. The author introduces this second volume on page 5 and advises that it should be studied after the first volume has been read. By making this promise, the author has allowed himself, however, to postpone addressing relevant issues and has in several places referred the reader to await the publication of the next volume.
