Additionally, the symposium will focus on enabling charitable and social insurance organisations, supporting the Islamic economy and its institutions, and approaching modern-day economic challenges.
Commenting on the occasion, Shaikh Abdullah Saleh Kamel, Chairman of Al Baraka Group and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Al Baraka Islamic Economics Symposium, said: “The role of the Shari’a doctrine in Islamic economics plays a crucial role in setting jurisprudence and ensuring it continues to play a developmental role, as well as achieving its intended goals in line with sustainable development efforts. Through this edition of the event, we look forward to discovering solutions derived from the Shari’a doctrine needed to address recent economic problems in society. We would also like to reiterate our support for scientific research in the field of Islamic economics.”
