Live discussion: Islam and social enterprise, 5 February, 12-1pm

In a recent article social entrepreneur Sheeza Ahmad highlighted how the Qur'an's teachings around Islamic finance fall in line with the modern day social enterprise movement.

Sheeza wrote: "Muhammad's teachings and examples of business dealings were strongly linked to humanitarian values where the poor, the sick and orphans took precedence. He acknowledged the suffering of people in surrounding environments and continually created solutions for them while creating a system that would ensure their care long after his passing."

These ideas raise the question of whether Islamic business can play a significant role in shaping more ethical business practices and even a more ethical and sustainable capitalism.

With this in mind, join our expert panel to discuss, the relationship between Islamic business practices, the social enterprise movement and the future of business.
