It is achieved by overlooking different methods of Islamic financial and banking system. The focus of the essay is on the examination of Islamic financial system and its approaches in the Islamic countries, especially those shariabased law countries. Sharia law is based on the Holy Book of Muslims Quran and on the traditional teaching of Prophet Muhamad in the so called Sunnah.
