Scope & Guideline
Transforming Business Strategies with Islamic Values.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Islamic Financial Practices:
The journal focuses on the principles and applications of Islamic finance, including the development of Shariah-compliant financial products, risk management in Islamic banking, and the role of Islamic financial institutions in economic growth. - Accounting Standards and Ethics:
Research on Islamic accounting standards, ethics in financial reporting, and the implications of Shariah governance on accounting practices are core themes, emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability in Islamic financial institutions. - Integration of Technology in Islamic Finance:
The journal encourages studies on the impact of fintech, digitalization, and innovative technologies on Islamic finance, examining how these advancements can enhance financial inclusion and operational efficiency. - Social Impact and Community Development:
Research exploring the role of Islamic finance in social welfare, including zakat, waqf, and corporate social responsibility (CSR), highlights the journal's commitment to addressing socio-economic issues within Muslim communities. - Comparative Studies:
The journal also publishes comparative analyses between Islamic and conventional financial systems, assessing performance, governance, and risk management practices across different contexts.
Trending and Emerging
- Sustainability and Ethical Investment:
There is a growing focus on sustainable and responsible investing within Islamic finance, particularly regarding environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. This trend highlights the importance of aligning financial practices with ethical and sustainable principles. - Impact of Digitalization:
The influence of digital technologies, including fintech and blockchain, is increasingly being explored, with studies examining how these innovations can transform Islamic finance and enhance operational efficiencies. - Behavioral Finance Perspectives:
Emerging research is beginning to incorporate behavioral finance theories into Islamic finance, analyzing how cultural, religious, and psychological factors influence financial decision-making among Muslim investors. - Globalization and Cross-Cultural Studies:
With the globalization of Islamic finance, there is a rise in studies that explore cross-cultural implications and the integration of Islamic finance into various economic systems around the world. - Policy and Regulatory Frameworks:
Research focusing on the regulatory environments surrounding Islamic finance is becoming more prominent, as scholars examine how different jurisdictions adapt Islamic principles within their financial systems.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Banking Practices:
Research focusing on conventional banking practices, particularly in contrast to Islamic banking, has seen a decline. This may indicate a shift towards more integrated studies that emphasize the unique aspects of Islamic finance rather than comparative analyses. - Basic Theoretical Frameworks:
There has been a noticeable decrease in studies that rely solely on traditional economic theories without incorporating Islamic perspectives. This shift suggests a movement towards more contextually relevant frameworks that align better with Islamic finance principles. - Narrowly Defined Market Segments:
Research that targets very specific niches within Islamic finance, such as niche investment strategies or products, is becoming less frequent. This may reflect a broader trend towards comprehensive studies that encompass multiple aspects of Islamic finance.
