Buku yang patut ada dalam setiap rumah orang islam di Malaysia!
Kenapa?
Kerana pasti dan pasti umat islam berurusan dalam hal kewangan hampir setiap hari dan amat malanglah jika kita tidak mengambil tahu langsung dalam hal halal haram kewangan!
Kata Ustaz Zaharuddin di akhir buku bahawa beliau menulis buku ini untuk pemahaman orang awam dan memang benar kerana setiap bab dihuraikan dengan terperinci untuk memudahkan pemahaman marhaen biasa bersama-sama dalil Quran, Hadis, Qias, ijmak ulama dan sebagainya.
Jadi apa lagi? Dapatkan segera Insya Allah!
p/s: kalau terjemah tajuknya ke inggeris, "Islamic Finance for Dummies" adalah sangat sesuai.
