So I've been teasing that we'll be writing a book. Alhamdulilah we're about half way done with a first draft. Probably won't be finished until next year inshaAllah.
So in general I'm planning to structure the book in this way:
1. Muslim Primer on Economics (you can read this chapter here: https://bitcoinmajlis.org/chapter-1-a-muslims-primer-on-economics/ )
2. Low Time Preference Islamic Civilization
3. Grokking Riba
4. A History of Money, Usury, and Banking
5. The Riba is in the Money
6. The Consequences of Riba Money
7. Attempted Solutions to the Riba money problem
8. Bitcoin, the anti-Riba money
9. Bitcoin, not crypto
10. Debunking Fiat Fatwas
11. Making Financial Hijra
Alhamdulilah I think I finally have a first draft of this! This ended up being way longer than I expected, around 120k words. I'll try to shorten it down a bit for the final draft insha Allah.
I need to think of a cool book cover for it... And hire someone to design it probably.
Oh and I need to figure out how to publish it. I've never published a book before. I have no idea what the process is like.
You need a revision or two.. Probably some editing too..
Other than that, that's fantastic! Good luck
Gonna need a lot more than two revisions π
I wrote almost all of this on my phone. My wife and kids never let me sit at my laptop...
Maybe AI can design a book cover?
I've messed around with chatgpt a little bit to come up with some concepts, but I still want the book cover to be designed by a professional.
πππππ
Mashallah!
