| To understand the underlying concepts within Islamic finance it is essential to have a reasonable understanding of Islam. This is self evident . Obviously I am not assuming that you know your way through all the Sura in the Qur'an. In order that we can both judge your background knowledge of Islam I have designed this short concepts quiz. In the event that you know most of the answers I can plunge into the technical material immediately.
