Ethical dimensions of Islamic finance : theory and practice
\"This book provides an introductory theoretical foundation of the ethics embedded in Islamic economics and finance, and it shows how this ethical framework could pave the way to economic and social justice. It demonstrates how Islamic finance--a risk-sharing and asset-backed finance--has embedded universal values, ethical rules, and virtues, and how these qualities may be applied to a supposedly value-neutral social science to influence policy-making. This book argues that ethical and responsible finance, such as Islamic finance, could lead the efforts to achieve sustainable economic development. Iqbal and Mirakhor then conduct a comparative analysis of Islamic and conventional financial systems and present Islamic finance as an alternative that can address today's growing problems of inequality, social injustice, financial repression, unethical leadership, and lack of opportunity to share prosperity.\"-- Provided by publisher.

Moderation effect on Islamic banking preferences in UAE
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the direct and indirect moderation effects of demographic and socio-economic(s) factors on the adoption of Islamic banking in UAE.
Design/methodology/approach
Convenience sampling was done on the residents of Sharjah, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi. A closed-ended questionnaire with 30 items was designed and pre-tested before the start of the study. Path analysis and moderation testing were the main analytical approach. A total of 320 respondents completed the survey.
Findings
The research revealed that demographic and socio-economic(s) moderators may have direct and indirect moderation effects on the adoption of the Islamic banking in the UAE, which indicates the importance of these factors in the provision of Islamic banking products and services in the UAE.
Practical implications
This study further revealed that these moderators have huge practical implications for Islamic bank managers and marketers as they can exploit these demographics to enhance their market share in the UAE.
Social implications
In UAE, minimal attention has been directed toward the role moderators would play in the criterion that individual investors would use in the adoption of Islamic banking products and services in a cosmopolitan environment that is experiencing competition from conventional banks.
Originality/value
An extensive review of the existing literature on the adoption of Islamic banking reveals that no empirical research has been undertaken to explore the role played by demographic and socio-economic(s) moderators in the adoption of Islamic banking in UAE and internationally. This study attempts to fill this gap.

Mapping Islamic Bank Governance studies: a systematic literature review
The purpose of this study is to explain the development of scientific publications on Islamic banking based on year, country, authors, and fields of science that are focused on mapping topics. This study used a qualitative method to review 696 articles published in Scopus indexed scientific journals and the collection of data was carried out in stages. Furthermore, this study reveals that the development of scientific publications on Islamic banking in the last ten years has shown an increase in the number of article because it increases yearly. However, it is both the Muslim majority and the Muslim minority countries that focus on the issue of Islamic banking. Also, the articles have clustering authors that have the same focus but discussed it with different issues. There are three important issues in the study of Islamic banking and they include the governance, auditing and supervision, and problems of Islamic banking. Also, there are dominant and other topics that are frequently discussed and have not been discussed by authors, respectively. The result showed that the sustainability of Islamic Bank Governance is for the benefit of concept development and Islamic banking practices. The limitation of this study is that it used only a qualitative method to review articles from scientific journals indexed by Scopus. Therefore, the next study needs to use scientific articles sourced from journals, books, and proceedings indexed by Scopus and Web of Science (WoS).

Propensity towards Islamic banking among non-users: a mixed-methods analysis
While Islamic banking (IB) experienced a substantial growth in a number of Majority-Muslim countries (i.e., the Gulf Cooperation Council and Malaysia), their market share is still very narrow compared to conventional banks in others (i.e., Morocco). Prior studies have proposed numerous research models to explain the antecedents of IB adoption among users; still, conventional bank customers have not been frequently investigated. This paper aims to explore the determinants of behavioral intentions to use IB among non-users in a county where IB is still at an embryonic stage (i.e., Morocco). Based on an exploratory sequential mixed-methods approach, IB users and non-users’ views were explored through focus groups, while in-depth interviews were administered to get insights from Moroccan Islamic Banks’ managers. The findings of the preliminary qualitative research were subsequently utilized in a quantitative study comprising an online self-administered questionnaire completed by 763 Moroccan conventional banks customers. Our findings suggest that knowledge, advertising, subjective norms and perceived complexity as key determinants of non-users’ attitude towards IB. We also confirmed perceived Sharia-compliance and Islamic religiosity as moderators in the relationship between attitude and behavioral intention to adopt IB, e.g. attitude towards IB is more likely to convert into a purchase intention for individuals with higher levels of Islamic religiosity. This research is among the first to evaluate the antecedents of behavioral intention towards Islamic banking among non-users. It outlines an alternative methodology of looking at consumer behavioral intention by focusing on the non-adopters’ segment. Ultimately, it presents an important contribution to the limited literature on consumers’ perceptions of IB in Morocco, where the operations of Islamic banks are still at an infancy stage.
