“Revival of Islamic Social Finance to Strengthen Economic Development Towards A Global Industrial Revolution”

December 3 – 5, 2019

Introduction

Islamic financial systems not only relate to commercial finance under the Islamic economic system but also relate to social finance with the same goal of achieving fallah. There are many challenges faced by the Islamic social finance sector consisting of various not-for-profit modes of Islamic finance, zakah, waqf, and non-profit microfinance institutions.

In this sector, institutions have to address the issue of sustainability in the supply of funds. Moreover, technological innovation has transformed the financial services industry over the past decade, and further disruption of the traditional financial sector is almost certain. Identifying these challenges is the first step towards meeting them. It is a brief introduction to an Islamic Social Finance, it is hoped, will culminate in an effort to modernize these reviving issues to address the economic and social needs of contemporary Muslim societies.
