'It is a timely book on a much neglected area of the Islamic finance discipline. It contains 21 chapters ranging from wealth management, to governance, to Islamic social finance, strewn together under 5 sub-themes. The book chapters combine both concepts and operational aspects of Islamic wealth management. The authors have done an excellent job in exploring each idea and concept thoroughly, and I highly recommend this book for academicians, scholars, practitioners and policymakers.'--M. Kabir Hassan, University of New Orleans, US'This book is a welcome contribution to Islamic finance literature. As the global Islamic market continues to grow, strengthening capacity-building has become crucial to consolidate a comprehensive ecosystem for shari`ah-compliant operations. The volume successfully addresses this need by shedding light on the rationales and tools of Islamic wealth management, where not only are the creation, enhancement, protection and distribution of wealth functional to market efficiency, but primarily conceived in the light of ultimate objectives of fairness, equality and economic justice.'--Valentino Cattelan, IE Business School, Madrid, Spain
