The discourses of Islamic and conventional finance differ according to the principles of Islamic finance there is no separation of the spiritual and the secular.

The study was undertaken in two stages, first a comparative analysis one Islamic and one conventional banks from 2007 until 2008. Secondly, a cross sectional analysis, between the Islamic (8 banks) and conventional banking sector (43 banks) that operated in the UAE during the period 2007-2008 was undertaken.
