ISRA International Journal of Islamic Finance (IJIF) is a fully peer-reviewed refereed journal which publishes quality and in-depth articles in the areas of Islamic economics, Islamic banking and finance, Islamic capital markets, Islamic social finance, takāful (Islamic insurance) and Islamic financial law. The Journal is unique as it publishes not only articles of academic rigour but also articles by practitioners with experience in applied Islamic finance.

IJIF is indexed and abstracted in several database services. On 12 April 2018, it was successfully accepted for inclusion in Scopus, Elsevier’s abstract and citation database. It is also included in Clarivate Analytics’ Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) since 2017 and Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) since 2019.

IJIF has a track record of timely publication and quality content. Articles are published online gradually and compiled in an issue four times a year in March, June, September and December.

The Journal was launched by the International Shari’ah Research Academy for Islamic Finance (ISRA) in 2009, with its inaugural issue being published in December 2009. Between 2017 and 2022, the Journal was published in collaboration with Emerald Publishing Services. As from 2023, IJIF is published by the International Shari’ah Research Academy for Islamic Finance (ISRA) Research Management Centre (ISRA RMC), an imprint of INCEIF University.
