Publish or perish!

I'm now in the final process of writing a simple book on Islamic banking. The book's title is ISLAMIC BANKING SYSTEM FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS. A title given by Prof Madya Siti Akmar, a language coordinator at UPENA, UiTM.

The IBS FAQ book contains some brief notes on Islamic banking concepts, applications and development; and some FAQs on the topic plus anwers. All the answers are written in essay format with diagrams and tables. Basic references are provided at the back of the book.

A book must contains a minimum of 49 pages (UPENA) and comprises of :
  1. Preface
  2. Acknowledgment
  3. Chapters (1,2,3..)-minimum 5 chapters
  4. References Or Bibliographies
  5. Appendixes (if available)
  6. Index
