"I am happy to see Centre for Islamic Finance at LUMS making an effort in furthering scholarship in Risk Sharing. Its a delight to witness the birth of a research excellence centre for islamic finance at Pakistan's premier business school. The ideology of Islamic Finance is found in risk sharing, and it gives me immense hope to see a centre dedicating its effort on that. The people involved with this extremely important initiative are highly capable analysts and visionaries dedicated to establishing Islamic finance as the most viable alternative to conventional finance. With their leadership, the Centre has the potential to become an effective agent of change in efforts to propagate the true spirit of Islamic finance. With prayers to Allah swt for His gracious help, I wish them and the Centre all the best of success”
