This book explores how Malaysia has become a global model in integrating social finance into the banking and finance sector. By drawing on robust case studies, the book examines key Islamic instruments-namely, Zakat, Waqf. Sadaqah, and Islamic microfinance-while highlighting pioneering national programs like ITEKAD and the SRI-linked Sukuk. It offers a comprehensive overview of Malaysia's regulatory evolution, the alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goals, and insights from 13 major Islamic banks. Bridging theory with practice, the authors showcase how finance and profitability can coexist through inclusive, impact-driven frameworks. This work is essential for policymakers, financial institutions, academics, and practitioners seeking a practical guide to embedding social responsibility into financial ecosystems.
