Islamic finance: where are the opportunities
Abstract
The Quran relates the story of Prophet Joseph who was a master in interpreting dreams. When the King of Egypt saw in his dream that there were seven lean cows eating seven fat cows and that there were seven green ears of corn and seven others that withered, Prophet Joseph said there will be seven years of prosperity to be followed by seven years of famine. What was mentioned in the Quran which happened thousands of years ago, is still being repeated until the present day. What is obvious is that each recession was more severe than the previous one.
