Commercial activities have always kept their importance in the history of humanity from ancient times to the present, with its function that accelerates the social transformation beyond meeting the physical needs of people, and in parallel with the radical changes in the production and consumption styles, conventional types of commerce have been subjected to radical changes throughout ages. It should not be difficult to guess that the attitude of the propositions of Islam on commercial law in the face of these changes is subject to some criticism. It is an exploitation of gullible and poor Muslims, an outdated system, a mere imitation trial of the conventional banking system, infeasible, non-normative, and so on, these are some of the criticisms that have been cast towards the Islamic commercial system, mainly from the western fraternity and the proponents of the conventional banking system. Therefore, this book’s relativity is in trying to assert the relevancy, competence, and feasibility of Islamic commercial law in the contemporary world of economics.
