About Journal

This edition primarily focuses on cultural adaptation in the context of Islamic banking and management, which forms the core theme of most of the published articles. Through a multidisciplinary approach, these articles explore how Sharia values and principles are applied across diverse cultural traditions and local practices.

The contributors come from five countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, United Arab Emirates, Philippines, and Uzbekistan. This geographical diversity reflects the global dynamics of the evolving implementation of Islamic banking and management, while offering comparative perspectives on contemporary issues such as social justice, digital technology, and efficiency in Sharia-compliant financial systems.

This edition also highlights efforts to bridge the gap between theory and practice, while supporting the development of more inclusive and context-sensitive regulations aligned with the objectives of maqashid sharia. By emphasizing local adaptation, this publication provides significant contributions to the academic literature relevant to the challenges and opportunities facing the Islamic banking sector in an increasingly globalized world.
