Abstract: The recent global financial crisis has brought into light some defaults and vulnerabilities of the conventional financial system that need to be thoroughly examined in order to prevent any further disorder for the world increasingly interconnected economies. Under these circumstances, the focus on the Islamic economics and finance and their underlying ideology has intensified as a consequence of the incremental need for alternative solutions to the traditional financial system which has already displayed its limits. This paper tries to explore the main characteristics of the Islamic economic and financial system and to examine to what extent its ideology may prevent further financial instabilities.
