Summary
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 Shariah-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. Abdelrahman Elzahi Saaid Ali is Senior Economist at the Islamic Development Bank Institute (IsDBi). Before joining IsDBi in 2008, Dr. Elzahi held a faculty position as Associate Professor of Economics at Sudan University of Science and Technology. Dr. Elzahi received his BSc in Banking and Finance from Sudan University of Science and Technology, MA in Economics from Omdurman Islamic University, Sudan, and PhD in Economics from the International Islamic University Malaysia. He is a co-editor of Revitalization of Waqf Economic Development, Volumes I & II, and the main author of Volumes I & II of Financial Inclusion through Islamic Finance. His current research areas include Digital Financial Inclusion Technology Adoption in achieving sustainable development.
