From theoretical foundations to participation finance, from zakat and ushr to the halal economy — a research center that produces original knowledge in the field of Islamic economics and institutionalizes the discipline.
İKAM is a research center within the İLKE Foundation that conducts original research in the field of Islamic economics and finance, advancing the discipline's body of knowledge from theory to practice. Through academic publications, international congresses and graduate incentive programs, it contributes to the institutionalization of the field.
Our work proceeds along the axes of the theoretical foundations of Islamic economics, participation finance practices, and redistribution institutions such as zakat and ushr. We produce comparative analyses addressing both classical sources and the contemporary financial system.
İKAM shares the knowledge it produces with academia, the finance sector and policy circles; it regularly organizes an academic journal, a monograph series and an international Islamic economics congress.
A comprehensive, open-access reference work compiling the core concepts of the field.
A two-year study measuring the impact of participation banking on the real economy.
A comparative study on institutional models for collecting and distributing zakat.
A completed thesis incentive and mentorship program in the field of Islamic economics.
