About CoE ISF

Islamic Social Finance tools have been instrumental in the alleviation of poverty and socio-economic development for over 1,400 years. Among the instruments available in Islamic social finance (ISF) to achieve this are Zakat, Waqf and Sadaqa (charity) which have been adopted and applied even outside the Islamic world. The instruments are used to provide education and healthcare, develop infrastructure and maintain social welfare provisions for the poor and destitute.

Centre of Excellence in Islamic Social Finance (CoEISF) was established to coordinate, develop and put into effect INCEIF initiatives towards financial inclusion for all, as well as supporting United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
