As the editor of the ISRA Islamic Finance Space Magazine (IIFS), I once again welcome all readers with warmth and appreciation. The publication of IIFS is yet another feather in ISRA’s cap and further establishes our strong standing within the industry. Various areas of Islamic finance, takaful, and economics have been further explored in this issue of IIFS through columns such as ‘Food for Thought’, ‘Kalamuna’, ‘Global Insight’, and ‘Youth Corner’. In this issue, IIFS was fortunate enough to interview an influential figure in the Islamic finance industry, a Senior Managing Adviser of Shariah Business Advisory at Islamic Banking and Finance Institute Malaysia (IBFIM), Mr. Haji Razli Ramli. Besides, IIFS was also privileged to have Islamic finance industry practitioners of various fields contributing in the column of ‘Global Insight’. Apart from the above, there are also other interesting columns in IIFS which include, among others, ‘ISRA Events’, ‘Islamic Finance for Dummies’, and ‘ISRA Publication’.
Last but not least, special thanks to all the sponsors who have been key to the successful publication of IIFS. May this magazine play an important role in bringing all the Islamic finance experts together through the expression of their views and knowledge in the various columns of the magazine, for the sake of the betterment of the ummah. Finally, we hope the readers will enjoy and gain valuable input from IIFS. Your feedback and suggestions are most welcome.
