About CIE

An institution built to change a financial system, not just teach it.

The Centre for Islamic Economics was founded on 22nd Safar 1413 — 22nd August 1992 — as a division of Jamia Darul Uloom Karachi.

Its purpose was specific: to train a body of Shariah scholars and bankers willing to take on the work of transforming an interest-based banking system into an interest-free one. That work continues across education, research, consultancy and advocacy.

What we do

Five areas of work

CIE pursues each of these with the same intent — making Shariah guidelines practical inside real financial institutions.

Education

Training opportunities that develop the capabilities of professional personnel across all the major sectors of the economy.

Research

Turning expert research into practical resources, equipping the workforce to lead with confidence in a modern Islamic economy.

Consultancy

Professional Islamic financial consultancy for individuals and businesses, through a team of Shariah scholars and contemporary financial experts.

Propagation & Awareness

Propagating the teachings of Islam regarding economics and finance among the masses.

Institutional Advocacy

Mobilising the business community through Islamic instruments, while collaborating with government regulators to reform the financial landscape.
