Abstract
Before the inception of the Islamic finance industry (IFI), there was what could be called a 'market failure' in the conventional financial system: significant unmet demand for Shari'a-compliant financial products. IFI grew out of conventional finance to meet this demand. Muslim scholars writing since the 1970s emphasized that Islamic finance was about risk-sharing (or profit/loss-sharing) contracts (see Siddiqi, 1985).
