This book, the first of two volumes, highlights the concept of
financial inclusion from the Islamic perspective. An important
element of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), financial
inclusion has been given significant prominence in reform and
development agendas proposed by the United Nations and G-20. The
significance of Islamic financial inclusion goes beyond improved
access to finance to encompass enhanced access to savings and risk
mitigation products, as well as social inclusion that allows
individuals and companies to engage more actively in the real
economy. It represents one of the important drivers of economic
growth. Gender disparity exists within financial access and its
extent varies widely across world economies. South Asia, the Middle
East and North Africa have the largest gender gaps, with women in
these regions being forty per cent less likely than men to have a
formal account at a financial institution. Analysing how Islamic
financial inclusion can empower individuals, this volume explores
the contribution of Islamic microfinance in achieving SDGs and
solving income and wealth inequality. Comprising a combination of
empirical evidence, theory and modelling, this edited collection
illustrates how to improve access to finance, making it essential
reading for those researching both Islamic finance and development
finance.

lending to low-income groups due to high poverty levels and the
lack of collateralization mechanisms. The first book on the market
to provide empirical evidence of Islamic microfinance, deposit
insurance and micro-entrepreneurship through the analysis of models
and country case studies, this edited collection will be of value
to those researching development finance, financial inclusion and
Islamic finance.
This book discusses financial inclusion, gender equality,
regulatory regimes for microfinance, women empowerment, and digital
finance from an Islamic perspective. It encourages the reader to
reflect on whether the delivery of financial services from an
Islamic perspective might be attainable and lead to achieving
global financial inclusion. Accessing financing is one of the most
formidable challenges facing disadvantaged in IsDB member
countries. The race to serve these niche markets has led to the
emergence of conventional microfinance. There remains the lingering
question of whether conventional microfinance in its current form
has conclusively led to poverty alleviation among Muslim
communities. Hence, there is a need of having Shari'ah-compliant
business model that depends on Islamic socio-economic tools such as
Zakah, Sadaqah, and Waqf might best address the needs
self-financial exclusion or the exclusion of the extremely poor in
Muslim.
This book provides a comprehensive analysis of Waqf management and
its impact on socio-economic development, specifically financial
inclusion and sustainable development as well as of the legal
issues in Waqf management in IsDB member countries and
jurisdictions. It explores various aspects of Waqf management in
IsDB member countries/jurisdictions as well as in non-Muslim
majority countries such as Waqf regulation, its modernization, and
relationship to Maqasid Al-Shari'ah; performance of Waqf
activities; time and activity-wise distribution of Waqf resource
management; the antecedents and consequences of Waqf assets (both
physical and cash); the strategies and models to promote Waqf
related activities for greater socio-economic development; good
governance practices through the formulation of informed policies
for Waqf projects, among others. Comprising different issues and
perspectives adopted by various researchers, the work is
specifically designed to meet the needs of academics and industry
practitioners in the field of Islamic finance.
