Buying a home is a major dream for almost every family. However, it is a decision that goes well beyond finances. You want your home to reflect your values and your lifestyle. The biggest advantage to owning a house over renting an apartment is that your house belongs to you. It's your home, and that's a pretty big achievement in itself.
This is why when a person is ready to buy a house, emotion can often get in the way of effective decision making. Not only can it hinder sound financial planning, but it can lead one into major sins. This CD Set is a guide to know what Islamic Finance really is, how one can understand the different terms used by various Islamic financial institutes, and how to make the best decision for your family in this life as well as the next.

Someone I know consulted an islamic bank about a halal mortage and was told that basically the bank would own the house and she would be paying 'rent' to live in it for such a such years until the mortage was repaid. However in total the repayments still worked out as more than the intitial mortage. I don't see a difference except that islamic banks invest money in buying raw metals, i.e. halal investments.
P.S. I will still read the document out of curiousity (later).
