Combining the ideas of crowd sourcing and MOOC and leveraging robust e-Learning management system, Yurizk Academy aims to bring the sources of knowledge, skills and expertise within Islamic Finance and Islamic Economy to anyone, anywhere in the world.

United States, February 9, 2015: Yurizk, the leading online platform for Islamic Finance education information services announced today its upcoming launch of Yurizk Academy, the first crowd-learning platform for Islamic Finance and Islamic Economy. Yurizk Academy will be an easily accessible and widely affordable one stop e-Learning platform to learn and master from the experts within Islamic Finance, Islamic Economics and Entrepreneurs in the Islamic Economy.  Combining the ideas of crowd sourcing and MOOC and leveraging robust e-Learning management system, Yurizk Academy aims to bring the sources of knowledge, skills and expertise within Islamic Finance and Islamic Economy to anyone, anywhere in the world.  

"The vision is to create an online Bayt-Ul Hikmah or House of Wisdom which is much needed today for a healthy growth and long term development of the next generation human capital for Islamic Economy, and Islamic Finance in particular. When we talk about human capital in Islamic Finance, we tend to emphasis on the skilled workers who work as employees in Islamic Financial institutions. While there is a huge gap in that area, and there are many educational institutions available to bridge that gap, very little attention is given to the development of the next generation Shariah Scholars who are essential and critical part of human capital within the industry. There is also not much attention to solve problems through inspiring and supporting creative entrepreneurs. We need academics and research but academics and research only will not be enough to bring necessary changes within Islamic Finance that is suffering from multiple complex challenges despite its rapid growth.  

We have these three simple commitments from Yurizk Academy:  

1. Gather, preserve, and disseminate knowledge from Shariah Scholars, experts and successful entrepreneurs to facilitate the development of the next generation Shariah Scholars, experts and entrepreneurs through a single digital platform.  

2. Connect the knowledge of Islamic Finance with tools and resources of Entrepreneurship so that the only way to look forward is not filling the skill based jobs but also entrepreneurial development for the Islamic Economy.  

3. Provide an unstructured yet organized, easily accessible and widely affordable platform to master the knowledge of Islamic Finance, Islamic Economics, and Islamic Entrepreneurship. Bringing multiple sources and experts for each topic areas will provide a holistic understanding of the subject matters and mastery of one specialized topic at a time will give the depth necessary to create innovative solutions for Islamic Economy." - said Sadia Karim, Founder and CEO of Yurizk.  

There are hundreds of experts within Islamic Finance who have accumulated great deal of experience and wisdom in specific areas while working within various sectors of Islamic Economy. Yurizk Academy will provide them the opportunity to share and disseminate their knowledge, experience and expertise to the masses in the form of online courses. There are academic journals for dissemination of research based knowledge for Islamic Finance, but there is no organized and easily accessible platform to disseminate non-academic knowledge and skills within this industry. Yurizk Academy will bridge that gap as well by bringing those experts in direct access to the seekers of knowledge who are looking to develop specific skills or to apply their learning in creative ways for the greater benefit of the Islamic Economy.  

The soft launch of Yurizk Academy is scheduled in April, 2015.
