Through pioneering research and rigorous intellectual dialogue, ISRA aims to promote innovation and dynamism into new boundaries of Islamic finance.

The International Shari'ah Research Academy for Islamic Finance (ISRA) was established by the Central Bank of Malaysia on 26 March 2008, as an initiative to promote applied research in the areas of Shariah and Islamic finance. It also acts as a knowledge repository for matters related to Shariah and fatwas (resolutions) in the Islamic finance industry.

ISRA contributes towards strengthening human capital development in the areas of Shariah by providing platforms for greater engagements amongst practitioners, scholars, regulators and academicians via research and dialogues, in both the domestic and international arena. Through pioneering research and rigorous intellectual discourse, ISRA aims to promote innovation and dynamism into new boundaries of Islamic finance. It is envisioned that with greater understanding through research and dialogue, mutual respect and recognition would emerge within the global Islamic financial industry community.
