Your article is refreshing and presents the issue of al-riba very clearly and in common English. Thank you. I would like to include some quotes from your paper (with permission) in a new book -- Takaful: A global look, which will be published later this spring.

Sincerely,

Donelle Ahmad, co-author

institutions which will lend on Mudaraba?

Thank you.

``and Al-Jabr-wal-Muqabla heralded modern

mathematics in which Arabic numerals replaced Latin numbers;``

I think the author of the article should have done more research before making the above statement. It has proven conclusively that the modern numerals, which we use in the modern world, originated from India. That is why it is rightly called Hindu-Arabic Numerals. The suffix Arabic has been put in, to acknowledge the role played by Arabs in spreading the Hindu Numerals. I do not know the truth behind the other statements from history mentioned by the author, but I would definitely take all the historical evidence used to prove the author`s argument with ``a pinch of salt``.
