Abstract

Bahrain is an Island with historical connections to the Persian Empire. It is a former province of Iran ((Federal research Division, 2004), which is called as "Pearl of Persian Gulf' and is densely populated Arab country.Its area is only 260 square miles, which is one of the most crowded countries on earth.It is home for one million people approximately (Gillespie, 2002).Bahrain has a long history as hub of banking and it strives hard to retain that status (Oxford Business Group: The Report: Bahrain, 2008).Likewise, the Kingdom of Bahrain is considered to be the hub of Islamic banking according to the Central Bank of Bahrain, which is proud to play host to the largest concentration of Islamic financial institutions in the Middle East region.A country, indeed, with an area of only 665 square kilometers has become one of the leading Islamic financial centers in the region (New Horizon, 2007).
