Islamic Spirituality: An Impetus to Responsibility and Impact

Umar F. Moghul

Chapter Chapter 1 in A Socially Responsible Islamic Finance, 2017, pp 1-37 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter introduces the role of Islamic spiritual principles and methods in developing good character and ethical behavior. It highlights the mutually reinforcing relationship between worship and law, emphasizing that acts of worship and spiritual practice prepare and enable ethical conduct. This study posits that such principles and methods are additionally relevant as they constitute an impetus and a methodological framework to establish businesses and markets that support sustainability and social and environmental well-being. By embedding Islamic spirituality, the character of Islamic financial institutions is expected to transform positively to meet the primary challenge facing the industry, which is an ethical one.
