Vision

Our vision is to establish an international institution benefiting from international scholarship to develop a holistic view of Islamic Economics and Finance with an identity articulating the morality of the Shari'ah, building on the works of previous scholars and conducting new researches regarding the theoretical framework of Islamic economics and existing and emerging fields of Islamic finance with a particular focus on non-banking institutions.

 

Mission

To realise our vision, the Institute plans to open MA and PhD programs in Islamic Economics and Finance and Islamic Insurance in English and Arabic to provide education at international level and convey the conducted research to English and Arabic speaking countries. In line with the holistic vision of the Institute and interdisciplinary nature of the field, the programs accept students from a wide-range of disciplines including but not limited to economics, finance, history, Islamic studies, and political science. As part of the international structure of the Institute, the students are expected to learn both English and Arabic at a competent level before graduation in all programs. Beside academic programs, the Institute also organizes seminars, workshops, and crash-courses with the participation of prominent scholars of the field to bring international scholarship to Istanbul.
