Arab Finance House held an honorary luncheon for the regional representative Muftis of Lebanon under the patronage of the Mufti of the Republic Sheikh Mohamad Rasheed Ragheb Kabbani who was represented by the head of the Sunni Shari’a Supreme Court of Lebanon; Sheikh Abdul Latif Daryan. The luncheon was attended by the Minister of Education and Higher Learning; Khaled Kabbani, General Manager and Board Member of Arab Finance House; Dr. Fouad Matraji, regional representative Muftis, Chairmen and Managers of Dar El Fatwa’s subsidiary organizations.
In his address to the attendees, Dr. Fouad Matraji said: “Arab Finance House is working under the slogan In Step with Progress, In Line with Principles with the daily supervision of its Shari’a Board and Auditors”.
He added: “If others have the right to be proud of what they have, what we have is better and greater so we can rightfully be proud of it. Arab Finance House considers Dar El Fatwa its umbrella due to H.E. the Mufti’s genuine interest in and support for every new AFH achievement and project. I promise you, as I promised H.E. and PM Fouad Sanyoura, we will create an Islamic industry with a Lebanese identity”.
Sheikh Daryan stated: “Through Arab Finance House’s achievements and those of other Islamic banks we can see that Islam can be applied and that its processes can be applied and that it has the ability to develop with each new generation. There came a time when Islamic processes were ignored by the public but thanks to the efforts of Arab Finance House and other Islamic banks like it, they have been brought back to the forefront of popular culture as something we can be proud of and we hope to see it develop further towards the better.
