Abstract: Based on the role of Islamic financial technology in advancing the Islamic financial, this study came with the aim of addressing the issue of financial technology in Arab Islamic banks, as this sector has constituted, during the past few years, a revolution in the field of global and Arab financial systems. Using a descriptive and analytical study of a sample of Arab countries to show the reality of the Islamic banking sector in light of contemporary digital financial applications through numbers, it has been shown that Financial technology development has an impact on a wide range of financial services and helps drive the expansion of both conventional and Islamic finance, reaching $3.7 trillion by 2022 compared to $3.44 trillion in 2021 and $3.14 trillion in 2020 the size of assets compatible with Islamic Sharia.
