Introduction
The growth of Islamic finance globally is undeniable. While the business prospects in Islamic financial markets remain very bright, the demand for manpower in Muamalat and Islamic Finance is equally very high as the market players. Competent and knowledgeable Islamic market players require sound education in Muamalat, finance and banking and other related fields. The current estimate shows there are 80 universities in 20 countries offering Diploma, Bachelor, Masters and PhD programs. Based on the increasing demand for Islamic education locally and globally, Malaysia has incorporated in its New Economic Model and Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) Strategic Plan to make Malaysia an Islamic Finance Education Hub. Hence, this workshop is intended to develop the roadmap or framework to achieve the objective of making Malaysia an Islamic Education Hub. In addition, this workshop is organized with the main objectives which are to fix the criteria for Islamic Education Hub, to enrich talent and build capacity, and also to enhance curriculum for Islamic finance education.
