Islamic banks have faced many challenges either from rivals or customers who look for better products and services. This study examined both the direct and mediating effects of selected variables influencing Islamic banks’ customer loyalty. The direct links were satisfaction, attitude towards Islamic banks, customer trust, and religious obligation to customer loyalty. On the other hand, the indirect links were through the mediators’ trust and attitude. A sample of 416 working Muslims in the UAE was collected and analysed. We used PLS-SEM techniques and the SmartPLS 3.0 software package to investigate customers’ loyalty towards Islamic banks. It was found that all the direct links were positive and significant, and were mediating relationships. This result implied that the respondent’s attitude toward Islamic banks and customer trust plays a significant role in understanding the relationship between customer satisfaction, religious obligation, and customer loyalty. In other words, both customer satisfaction and religious obligation indirectly created customer loyalty through the mediators. This study is one of the few studies that incorporate religious obligation as one of the determinants of customer loyalty.
