Literature is well-versed with the contribution of financial inclusion from the deposit and financing size and its role in economic growth. These contributions include a boost in economic transactions and efficient resource mobilization. Islamic financial system is different from conventional banking as it distributes the risk equitably and promotes fairness in dealings. It helps in the integration of business gains as a borrower of Islamic capital with the earnings of savers as depositors. This study has proposed two channels via which Islamic financial development may incur growth. First is bank financing penetration, and second is depositor financial inclusion. Based on the data of 41 full-fledged Islamic banks between 2012 and 2017, the results show that both increases in bank and depositor returns have a growth-promoting effect. This prompts the policymakers with new insights. Policymakers should increase Islamic banking penetration to different sectors and regulate for increased extraction of the depositor contribution from the banking financing activity.

Islamic finance has grown rapidly in the recent years particularly in the Middle East and the world. It receives a great attention of bankers and financial scholars due to its stability during financial shocks and crises. The paper uses empirical analysis to test the role of Islamic banking in enhancing the economic growth of United Arab Emirates (UAE). Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Gross formation (GF), and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) are used as representatives for economic growth, while Islamic banks’ investments are used as a representative for Islamic financial sector in the UAE. The study uses time series techniques to test the link between the variables. In the current study, co-integration along with error correction models is utilized. All econometric work is done using Eviews. The findings reveal that the causal relationship between Islamic banks’ investments and economic growth of UAE is supply-leading direction. Furthermore, the findings depict that Islamic investments have contributed in increasing investments and in bringing FDI into the country in the long-term. The study also shows that there is two-way association between Islamic banks’ investments and FDI. It shows that FDI supports Islamic banking and Islamic banking brings FDI. The paper concludes that authorities of the UAE should devote more attention for this growing banking sector by facilitating regulations for establishing new Islamic banks and then creating a suitable environment for their growth and progress in the UAE.

Islamic banking has philanthropy values presented in zakat and other virtue funds as it aims at enhancing economic growth and prosperity. These philanthropy instruments are one of the differences between Islamic banks and conventional banks. However, the role of zakat and other funds in enhancing people’s welfare needs to be analyzed since the market share of Islamic banks is still growing slowly. This paper is intended to analyze the influence of zakat and the other virtue funds towards the realization of social welfare. In specific, this paper also intends to find a strategy for strengthening welfare through the role of philanthropy of Islamic banks. This study utilizes a quantitative approach that is analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. The results of the paper are: first, zakat has no significant correlation on welfare; second, other virtue funds have a significant correlation with welfare. The strategy proposed is to empower zakat collection agencies funds and establish channeling that link to Islamic banks so that the productive zakat allocation can be managed by Islamic bank customers.==============================================================================================Filantropi Perbankan Syariah: Suatu Strategi dalam Penguatan Pertumbuhan Ekonomi dan Kesejahteraan.  Bank syariah memiliki nilai filantropi dalam zakat dan dana kebajikan lainnya dimana instrumen tersebut bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan ekonomi dan kemakmuran masyarakat. Instrumen ini merupakan salah satu yang membedakan antara bank konvensional dengan bank syariah. Akan tetapi, sejauhmana peran zakat dan instrumen filantropi dalam meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat masih harus dianalisis lebih lanjut mengingat pertumbuhan market share dari bank syariah masih sangat rendah. Paper ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh zakat dan dana kebajikan lainnya terhadap terwujudnya kesejahteraan masyarakat. Paper ini sekaligus bermaksud menemukan suatu strategi dalam penguatan kesejahteraan melalui peran sosial finance bank syariah. Paper ini ditulis dengan pendekatan kuantitatif yang dianalisis dengan spearman correlation test. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa: pertama, zakat memiliki korelasi yang tidak signifikan terhadap kesejahteraan; kedua, dana kebajikan memiliki korelasi yang signifikan terhadap kesejahteraan. Adapun strategi penguatan yang perlu dilakukan adalah meningkatkan alokasi dana zakat kepada lembaga amil zakat dan membangun chaneling dengan bank syariah agar alokasi zakat produktif dapat dikelola oleh nasabah bank syariah.

This study argues that the effect of Islamic banking development on financial inclusion is enhanced when there exist better quality institutions. A cross section dependency test, cointegration test, causality test, and system GMM (generalized method of moments) are applied to achieve this objective. Employing panel data from 30 Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member countries over the period 2013-2018, the analysis suggests that Islamic banking promotes financial inclusion. Furthermore, it documents evidence which suggests negative and significant coefficients of the interaction between Islamic banking development and institutional quality.  This means that Islamic banking development works well in promoting financial inclusion in countries with low institutional quality.

Entrepreneurs, especially in developing societies, which include many Muslim countries among their fold, face a herculean task in up-scaling their businesses due to a lack of capital to procure relevant assets to grow their businesses. The world Islamic banks’ competitiveness report (2016) identified poor financial inclusion as one of the critical factors responsible for the uneven distribution of wealth in the Muslim world. This study presents the Murābaḥah-Taʻāwun financing product as an innovative addition to the range of financial products available on the Islamic banking shelf to reduce the incidence of poverty. Murābaḥah-Taʻāwun is operationalized where a group of entrepreneurs contribute funds together under a recognized Islamic bank while allowing every partner access to the fund on a rotational basis for the purchase of an asset according to a pre-defined arrangement. The study highlighted the importance of Murābaḥah-Taʻ''āwun as an Islamic financial contract by reviewing relevant extant literature. The proposed product shows that greater financial inclusion can be achieved without recourse to riba and thus will reduce poverty among Muslims.
