So I've been teasing that we'll be writing a book. Alhamdulilah we're about half way done with a first draft. Probably won't be finished until next year inshaAllah. So in general I'm planning to structure the book in this way: 1. Muslim Primer on Economics (you can read this chapter here: ) 2. Low Time Preference Islamic Civilization 3. Grokking Riba 4. A History of Money, Usury, and Banking 5. The Riba is in the Money 6. The Consequences of Riba Money 7. Attempted Solutions to the Riba money problem 8. Bitcoin, the anti-Riba money 9. Bitcoin, not crypto 10. Debunking Fiat Fatwas 11. Making Financial Hijra

We still haven't started on that particular chapter. Most of it will be trying to envision Muslim life in a post usury era from different aspects. I feel so very unqualified to talk about the subject but I'm gonna try anyway. And I'll definitely be reaching out to you if you wanna review some chapters
Man writing a book is a lot harder than I thought 😭 Alhamdulilah, just three more chapters and I'll have a rough draft ready

Alhamdulilah I think I finally have a first draft of this! This ended up being way longer than I expected, around 120k words. I'll try to shorten it down a bit for the final draft insha Allah. I need to think of a cool book cover for it... And hire someone to design it probably. Oh and I need to figure out how to publish it. I've never published a book before. I have no idea what the process is like.
