Why Islamic finAnce is at the forefront?

The ongoing digital transformation is shaping the Islamic mode of financial
intermediation and the impact on the faith-based financial mode has been
multifaceted. This has raised a host of interesting questions: what is the
degree of penetration of Islamic finance in the fintech industry? Are
Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) or banks ready to embrace fintech? Is
fintech an enabler or barrier to achieve the intended purpose of Islamic
finance? Will technology narrow the division between Islamic and
conventional finance in the future? These are existential questions for
Islamic finance and the book endeavors to examine the impact of financial
technology on the industry.

t is interesting to note that the Muslim population is on average younger
with a median age of 23 years across all regions, compared to a global
average of around 2820. According to a study by Deloitte , Not only is the
Muslim population’s median age lower than the MENA region’s median age of
24 years, but in each continent, the regional Muslim median age is also
lower than the normal median age21. With such a young Muslim population,
and the fact that young people tend to be technology literate, we would
expect the younger Muslim audience to welcome and adopt new Digital Islamic
solutions.

Let’s look at the new paradigm of the industry .


   1. Islamic finance has become part of the mainstream global financial
   markets, and accordingly needs to improve and simplify its operations.
   2. The current complex money market operations used by Islamic banks is
   a manual process throughout the whole process, causing inefficiencies and
   weakness.

As the Islamic finance industry has evolved, it has become part of the
global financial markets. And as any other financial industry, the Islamic
money market is considered a cornerstone component within this system.
Consequently, it has become essential to simplify and advance its
operations.

With volatility becoming the new norm, Islamic banking is facing challenges
that range from virtual working and the urgent need for technological
solutions, to the complexity of the LIBOR transition and other expected
regulatory requirements.

These threats create operational risks for Islamic banks in their
day-to-day activities and overall liquidity management. Currently, with the
prohibition of interest-based transactions, the money market operations
across Islamic banks and/or conventional banks trading Islamic finance
products are currently complex procedures.

These procedures include three-way counterparty agreements between
liquidity providers, underlying commodity providing brokers and liquidity
takers.

This complex process is currently manually operated from ideation/RFQ
stages all the way to clearance through multiple individuals, including
traders, middle- and back-office staff, brokers and operations.

Potentially one money market transaction can have up to seven different
manual touchpoints of data entry and validation through four different
platforms/systems. This causes inefficiencies and errors.
On the plus side and looking at Shariaa Complaint DAOs Economies we do
recognize the following areas of advancement and much needed research:
1. The world is witnessing a transformation in the global financial system,
wealth transformation and power shifting. The current system's disregard
for humane and moral values leads to increasing income and wealth
inequalities and detachment from the real economy.

2. In response, the search for a new financial architecture that
prioritises humane and moral values has gained momentum, intending to
create a fairer world and promote social justice, inclusive growth, and
sustainability.

3. Participation finance, with its participatory approach, focuses on moral
and humane values, risk-sharing, and positive social impact and holds great
promise for all of humanity.

4.  Blockchain and its applications are leading in establishing a new
financial architecture based on participation finance.

5. Value-based communities, with their rich cultural heritage, geopolitical
position, economic size, and large population, are well-positioned to
become global hubs for participation finance.

6. Integrating participation finance with alternative finance practices
such as impact investing, socially responsible finance, and green finance
can further bolster the growth of a participation finance hub.

7. Blockchain will play a critical role in the journey towards a new
financial architecture that prioritises humane and moral values and
positively impacts society.

8. Global organisations today face real, complex challenges that can’t be
solved by generic solutions.  That’s why the industry need to  embrace
co-creation and customisation as the foundation of Islamic finance
solutions is inherent in the evolving need of communities.

It is an Exciting transformative journey!
Are we as scholars up to the challenge?
