THE ROLE OF ISLAMIC ECONOMICS AND FINANCE AMID GLOBAL ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY

Abstract

In an era marked by financial turbulence, geopolitical instability, and rapid digital transformation, The Role of Islamic Economics and Finance amid Global Economic Uncertainty offers a critical exploration of how Islamic economic principles can provide resilience and stability. This book brings together a diverse group of scholars to examine key themes such as the ethical foundations of Islamic economics, the strategic role of Islamic financial institutions, and the enduring relevance of zakat, waqf, and sadaqah in strengthening social safety nets. It also delves into the challenges and opportunities posed by digitalization, offering forward-looking insights on how Islamic finance can adapt and lead in a technology-driven world.

Through theoretical reflections and applied case studies, the chapters in this volume demonstrate that Islamic economics is not merely a theological construct but a practical framework capable of responding to contemporary global challenges. The book is an essential resource for academics, students, practitioners, and policymakers seeking a deeper understanding of how Islamic finance and economics can contribute to building a more just, inclusive, and crisis-resilient global economy.
