LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

The Complex Face of Islamic Finance

Thunderbird International Business Review was one of the very first

journals to devote a special issue to the topic of Islamic Finance. Since

then we have published two more special issues on the topic. In all of

these, one thing I was hoping to see was an even richer contextualiza-

tion of the topic. In this special issue, Guest Editor M. Kabir Hassan

has exceeded my expectations by curating a rich collection of articles

that range from thick description of the practice of Islamic finance to

entrepreneurial implications, from corporate responsibility to ethical

dimensions and much, much more. Hassan offers an inspirational

message for academics and practitioners to advance research relating

to Islamic finance. He does so by leading the way with the selection

of articles in this issue. Thank you, Kabir, and all of those who gener-

ously contributed to the issue, for such a stellar job!

Finally, we would like to extend our gratitude to the reviewers

listed below without whose support this special issue would not have

been possible.
