This insightful book examines how Islamic finance can support the Sustainable Development Goals, featuring expert contributions and practical applications.
The book Islamic Wealth and the SDGs delves into the intersection of Islamic finance and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the UN in 2012. It emphasizes the importance of Islamic micro-finance, wealth inclusion, and various forms of Zakat, including corporate and agro-Zakat, as mechanisms that can significantly contribute to achieving these global goals. The contributions from leading researchers in the fields of sustainability and Islamic finance provide a comprehensive overview of how ethical wealth can be mobilized to support humanitarian efforts and enhance socio-economic conditions, all while adhering to the principles of Maqasid al-Shari’ah.
In addition to exploring the core objectives of Shari'ah in relation to the SDGs, Islamic Wealth and the SDGs highlights innovative financial instruments like SRI Sukuk and green Sukuk. These instruments not only promote investment in sustainable projects but also align with the ethical imperatives of Islamic finance. The book serves as a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, industrialists, NGOs, and students who are interested in understanding the practical applications of Islamic finance in addressing global challenges.
Ultimately, Islamic Wealth and the SDGs aims to inspire a collaborative approach among various stakeholders, including governmental and non-governmental organizations, to leverage Islamic finance as a tool for sustainable development. By bridging the gap between Islamic finance principles and the SDGs, this book presents a pathway for fostering inclusive growth and social justice in today's world.
