Qatar tribune Tribune News Network Doha He emphasised that rapid technological advancements have evolved beyond being mere supportive tools; they are now key drivers reshaping global economic and financial systems. The integration of blockchain and AI stands out as one of the most significant trends shaping the future of the financial sector, offering smart solutions that merge blockchain’s transparency and decentralisation with AI’s deep analytical capabilities and precision-driven decision-making. As this synergy continues to evolve, a critical question emerges: what will the future of Islamic finance look like? He said, “At the Doha Islamic Finance Conference, we have taken it upon ourselves to actively contribute to shaping the future landscape of Islamic finance.
It is no longer enough to passively observe or debate the potential benefits of emerging technologies. The focus must now shift towards adapting and advancing these innovations to develop smart financial solutions that remain true to the principles of Sharia and add significant value to Islamic financial markets.” He said, “While man-made laws often struggle to keep pace with rapidly evolving realities—constantly repositioning and revising their texts—Sharia Law remains steadfast, grounded in divine revelation from the One whose knowledge encompasses all things.
This sacred revelation reflects the wisdom of the All-Knowing, as stated in the Holy Qur’an: ‘But Allah bears witness to that which He has revealed to you —He has sent it with His knowledge. The angels too bear witness. And Allah alone is sufficient as a Witness.
’ Hence, whether addressing longstanding matters or newly emerging challenges, Sharia law has never fallen short in its ability to encompass and tackle them.” The conference has attracted wide participation of government entities, international organizations, financial and academic institutions specializing in economics, finance, and technology. With high-level discussions and expert insights, the conference is poised to drive significant advancements in the Islamic finance industry in Qatar and beyond.
