This edited collection explores how market change, technological innovation, and growing ethical and sustainability demands are reshaping Islamic finance. Bringing together conceptual, empirical, and policy-oriented research from Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Europe, it examines how Islamic moral economy principles and maqasid-based thinking engage with ESG, climate justice, digital transformation, and risk governance.
The chapters address artificial intelligence, machine-learning credit assessment, quantum computing, and blockchain, alongside green sukuk, circular economy models, political economy, risk sharing, financial inclusion, and Islamic equity markets. Using diverse methodological approaches, contributors show how ethical commitments, technological tools, and sustainability frameworks influence financial institutions, markets, regulation, and policy.
By connecting technological change and sustainability agendas with the ethical and institutional foundations of Islamic finance, the volume offers a coherent interdisciplinary perspective for scholars, regulators, policymakers, and financial-sector professionals navigating an increasingly complex financial landscape. This perspective supports inclusive, resilient financial development worldwide
