    The defendant has no defence: the guarantor's winding-up and the plaintiff's intention to file a proof of debt do not estop enforcement against the borrower; the agreements expressly permit concurrent enforcement; contractual clauses render the plaintiff's statement of account conclusive absent manifest error; the defendant failed to discharge the burden to challenge the account; Islamic contract principles require upholding the unvitiated contract; accordingly summary judgment is appropriate for the amount claimed.
