Thanks for sharing the article Usman and for providing the range of opinions on the subject of sharia finance. Fortunately, there is a global body of sharia scholars that have provided guidelines for trade that are accepted among all schools of faith in Islam. Their guidelines are now online: http://www.aaoifi.com/en/news/aaoifi-tr-joint-pr.html

I am a Regional Manager with Sharia Portfolio - a sharia compliant investment advisory firm. Our goal is to help Muslims achieve their financial goals the halal way. I'd be happy to share additional information. Our website is www.shariaportfolio.com
