In Islam, philanthropy is a spectrum of activity, and these
activities differ in their purpose and in the principles on which
they operate. To fully understand philanthropy, it is vital to
examine not only its purpose but its motive and outcomes. This book
identifies three types of philanthropy within this spectrum:
Philanthropy as relief (zakat), which seeks to alleviate human
suffering; philanthropy as an improvement (waqf), which seeks to
maximize individual human potential and is energized by a principle
that seeks to progress individuals and their society; and
philanthropy as reform (sadaqah), which seeks to solve social
problems. Philanthropy as civic engagement seeks to build better
community structures and services and is directed by civic
responsibility. This book explores philanthropy in Islam that
covers the three primary spectra of activity: zakat, waqf, and
sadaqah. Combining contributions from the Conference on
Philanthropy for Humanitarian Aid under the joint organization of
Sultan Sharif Ali Islamic University and the International Research
Centre of Islamic Economics and Finance, International Islamic
University College in collaboration with the Islamic Research and
Training Institute, this book will be of interest to students,
policymakers, practitioners, and researchers in the areas of
Islamic finance and Islamic economics.
This book explores the relationships between financial inclusion,
poverty and inclusive development from Islamic perspectives.
Financial inclusion has become an important global agenda and
priority for policymakers and regulators in many Muslim countries
for sustainable long-term economic growth. It has also become an
integral part of many development institutions and multilateral
development banks in efforts to promote inclusive growth. Many
studies in economic development and poverty reduction suggest that
financial inclusion matters. Financial inclusion, within the
broader context of inclusive development, is viewed as an important
means to tackle poverty and inequality and to address the
sustainable development goals (SDGs). This book contributes to the
literature on these topics and will be of interest to researchers
and academics interested in Islamic finance and financial
inclusion.
This volume aims to discuss the current research, theory,
methodology and applications of macropreudential regulation and
policy for the Islamic financial industry. Published in cooperation
with the Islamic Research and Training Institute (IRTI), this book
features contributions from a workshop presented in collaboration
with the University College of Bahrain (UCB) in Manama, Bahrain,
aimed to bring together experts in Islamic banking and regulation
and financial economics. This resulting book sheds light on how
macroprudential policy may be implemented in the Islamic financial
system, and indicates current challenges and their effects on
economic growth, financial stability and monetary regulation.
Macroprudential policy is increasingly seen as a way of dealing
with the different dimensions of systemic risk. But many central
banks, bank supervisors and regulators have limited experience with
macroprudential tools, particularly in the Islamic financial
industry. Given the complementarities between monetary policy and
financial stability, it appears that central banks would always
play an important role in macroprudential policy. But how should
macroprudential policy best interact with monetary policy? It is
becoming more pressing for the central banks to conduct monetary
policy in which its conventional banking system operates side by
side with Islamic banking system. This question has received
increasing attention in the research literature but there is much
we still need to learn. This is why new insights from research on
macroprudential policy - which has gained important impetus in
recent years - are so valuable. Featuring contributions on topics
such as macroprudential regulation, policy, tools and instruments;
governance, systematic risk, monetary policy, and bank leverage,
the editors provide a collection of comprehensive research covering
the most important issues on macroprudential policy and regulation
for the Islamic financial industry. This volume is expected to be a
significant contribution to the literature in the field of Islamic
finance and evaluation of public policies to promote the
development for Islamic financial industry. It is also served as a
key text for students, academics, researchers, policy-makers in the
field of Islamic finance.
