Authors: Natt, Agil; Alhabshi, Syed Othman; Zainal, Mohd-Pisal (2009) - This paper discusses the challenges in measuring the gaps and developing human capital to cater for the booming of Islamic financial services industry.

Authors: Rafi, Umar (2015) - This research attempts to show that risk sharing, as defined under Islamic finance, makes financial systems antifragile. The recent financial crisis has given rise to discussions around a new term known as antifragility, used for evaluating the long-term stability of a financial system.

These are highly unpredictable outlier events that have a major negative (or positive) consequence when they occur, with their occurence only being explained retrospectively. According to this concept, the long-term survivability of any system centers exclusively on its antifragile nature, that is, ...
