Abstract

This study’s objective is to provide a description of the Islamic financial industry and its products, with an emphasis on the development of Islamic finance in the UK market. Islamic finance is a relatively popular issue in the world of economics due to its patterns of worldwide expansion. In the western world, the UK is at the forefront of Islamic finance. This research used a positivist outlook, and a descriptive research design. The optimum way will thus be to acquire secondary data. Both content analysis and descriptive analysis were used to examine the data that had been gathered. The findings showed that the UK’s political environment and organizational structure support the expansion of Islamic banking there. The study also highlights the difficulties that UK-based Islamic financing faces. The results showed that financing real estate, as well as the provision of insurance services and the financing of transport firms without interest charges on loans, improve investment by Islamic banking and conventional banking institutions with an Islamic sector.
