29 1. Innovation - Innovative ways to promote SDG s * The traditional way in doing finance in a Shariah compliant framework should be improved in line with the emergence of fintech. * Islamic finance should also be used to mobilize, institutionalize and empower the funds of zakat, sadaqat, qard-al-hassan and waqf. + Zakat funds could be used to cover the default risk of microenterprises and to build capacity and skills. + Qard-al-Hassan resources should be made available to Islamic microfinance institutions to reduce the burden of high interest charges on their borrowers.!"#$%&'()

30 #2. Impact Finance - Increasing The Social Dimensions of Islamic Finance Thomson Reuters Survey (2015): The attitudes of many Islamic financial institutions is that socially responsible investing is either part of the corporate social responsibility they already do or is unnecessary, the reason is that their existing shariahcompliant mandate coupled with their corporate social responsibility activities fulfill their social responsibility. O.+1+),1+7! Framing the issue of SDG s and social responsibility as an add-on financial screening methodology that is complementary to the exiting Shariah compliance screening is likely to be the most effective route.!"#$%&'()

31 #3. SHARIAH COMPLIANT - Extended meaning to include ethical commitment and social orientation Shariah requires no distinction between legal imperatives and moral obligations. Law and ethics, from the Shariah perspective, should not be viewed as separable and should not be made contradictory in developing Islamic finance Islamic finance product structuring: marrying form and substance. The concern in product structuring is not merely to secure the narrow legal compliance of banking and finance practices by screening negative elements in conventional financial practices, but a more substantive movement towards inspiring a good financial system enshrining Islamic ethics and principles as implied in the concept of maqāsid al-shari ah (the goals of Shariah).!"#$%&'()
