Aims

Tamwila aims to promote high-quality and original research that contributes to the development of Islamic economic thought and its application to contemporary economic, financial, business, and technological challenges. The journal particularly encourages research that connects Islamic economic principles with digital transformation, financial innovation, sustainable development, social welfare, and the development of the halal ecosystem.

The journal seeks to bridge the gap between theory and practice by publishing research with strong theoretical foundations, rigorous methodologies, and clear implications for the development of Islamic economic institutions, industries, public policies, and society. Tamwila also encourages comparative and interdisciplinary studies that position Islamic economics within broader regional and global economic developments.
