Empowerment Through Faith: The Rise of Islamic Social Finance
Today’s discussion is both timely and deeply meaningful — we’re exploring how Islamic principles can be applied to promote fairness, equity, and empowerment in our modern world.
Joining me is Sister Luly, a passionate academic and practitioner in Islamic Social Finance, whose work continues to inspire positive change and social impact across communities.
In this episode, We’ll cover:
💠 The global rise of Islamic Social Finance — and how it addresses poverty and inequality.
💠 Innovative concepts emerging from Indonesia, such as Green Waqf, linking Islamic endowments with environmental sustainability.
💠 The differences between privately and government-funded Islamic social finance institutions — and what motivates them.
💠 Ethical foundations that distinguish Islamic finance from conventional systems.
💠 Real-life success stories — how Islamic institutions are empowering micro-entrepreneurs, supporting livelihoods, and providing Qard Hasan (interest-free loans).
💠 How blockchain, fintech, and digital innovation are shaping the future of Islamic finance — making it more transparent, inclusive, and impactful.
💠 And finally, how all of this aligns beautifully with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — principles long embedded in Islamic teachings.
