Cagamas launched its book translation series entitled Kitab Al-Luma’ Fi Usul Al- Fiqh (The Refulgence of the Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence) by Abu Ishaq Al Shirazi (1003-1083 C.E.) and Kitab Al-Waqf Fro Kitab Al-Mughni Al-Muhtaj (The Book of Endowment) by Al- Khatib Al-Shirbini (D.1067 C.E.) in a ceremony which was officiated by the Governor of Bank Negara Malaysia, Datuk Muhammad bin Ibrahim. Published by the Islamic Banking and Finance Institute Malaysia (IBFIM), the book is expected to play a crucial role in fulfilling the need for more literature on Islamic finance.
In addition to sponsoring the translation series, Cagamas also partnered with the International Shari’ah Research Academy (ISRA), an autonomous research arm of the International Centre for Education in Islamic Finance (INCEIF) to publish the 2nd edition of the ‘Islamic Financial System: Principles & Operations’, an Islamic financial markets textbook. The first edition of the book is currently being used by 74 educational institutions from 21 different countries as the main textbook reference and has been translated into several languages.
