The aim of this introductory course is to raise the awareness of Islamic financial education to improve the financial literacy of Muslims. The knowledge and skills gained will enable learners to make more informed decisions about their finances.
In Islam, seeking knowledge is a vital activity for every Muslim and is considered an act of worship. It is obligatory for a Muslim to seek knowledge in order to understand the guidance of Islam in every aspect of life. The guidance of Islam is not only limited to religion but also covers trade, commerce, business, finance, financial management, etc. Thus, acquiring financial knowledge in Islam is significant. Allah says in the Qur’an: “Are those equal who know and who don’t know, it is who are endued with understanding that receives admonition” (39:9).
Learners are encouraged to approach Islamic Financial Education Institutions for more in-depth studies on subject matters such as debt management, balanced spending, saving, shariah-compliant investment, and wealth purification.
