ISRA - International Shari’ah Research Academy for Islamic Finance established on 26 March 2008 by the Central Bank Malaysia (BNM) as an Islamic finance research institution, focusing on Shariah related issues with the goal of being a premier research centre.

Background

ISRA as a repository of knowledge for Shari’ah views (fatwas) and undertakes studies on contemporary issues, especially those relating to Shari’ah, in the Islamic finance industry.
