Recordings of Islamic finance lectures released
Recordings of two public lectures held by AIWG fellow and finance expert Say Cheong Lim at Goethe University on 12th and 19th of October 2026 are now available online.
The first lecture, “Islamic Finance Explained: An Introduction for Everyone”, introduces the key principles of Islamic finance. It explains how Islamic banks operate, including the avoidance of interest, excessive speculation as well as investments in sectors such as gambling and weapons, and it explores the role and prospects of Islamic finance in Europe.
The second lecture, “Islamic Finance in Everyday Life: Banking, Home Finance, Saving, and Investing”, examines how Islamic financial principles apply to everyday decisions, including banking, home financing, saving, wealth building, and investing. It also highlights Islamic financial options currently available in Germany and discusses their relevance in and beyond the Muslim community.
