Contracts and Deals in Islamic Finance: A User s Guide to Cash Flows, Balance Sheets, and Capital Structures

This book is dedicated to the memory of my father, the late Muhammad Azam Kureshi, who left this world too soon, and my grandfather, Ali Muhammad Baloch. Both men served their countries and not their pockets—a rare breed.

—Hussain Kureshi

To my mother, who held my hand and took me to the library; to my father, who writes every day and first encouraged me to write; and to my wife, a beautiful writer who keeps focusing and championing me.
