RESEARCH SCHOLAR, MADHAV UNIVERSITY

Abstract: Financial inclusion has become a topic of growing interest for lecturers, professionals,

and policy-makers in recent times. Researchers stress the importance of financial inclusion and

highlight the numerous roles of financial institutions, equivalent to banks, in promoting financial

inclusion. Therefore, it's imperative to research the role and commitment of banks in promoting

financial inclusion, significantly those financial institutions (i.e., Muslim banks) that came into

existence to plug socio-economic justice through the distribution of wealth in society. The study is

formed on the argument that Muslim banking business model depends on intangible sources i.e.,

Shari’ah law and such sources square measure exploited to create value i.e., stability, gain and

financial inclusion. The empirical analysis supports the hypothesis that Muslim banks utilize

varied tangible and non-tangible resources to plug financial inclusion. Hence, Muslim banks

square measure serving owing to the ultimate offer of financial inclusion among the society.

1. INTRODUCTION: monetary inclusion has become a theme of growing interest for lecturers,

professionals, and policy-makers in recent times. The terms “financial inclusion” and “financial

exclusion” are ordinarily employed in the literature wherever the latter refers “to those processes

that stop poor and deprived social teams from gaining access to the monetary system” (Leyshon

and Thrift 1995). In distinction, the previous focus on the ways in which to market monetary

inclusion. monetary inclusion, as argued by Rangarajan (2008), is that the “process of making

certain access to monetary services and timely and adequate credit wherever required by

vulnerable teams corresponding to the weaker sections and low financial gain teams at a

reasonable cost”. Following Sarma (2012, p. 3) monetary inclusion during this paper refers to “a

method that ensures the convenience of access, accessibility ANd usage of the formal financial

set-up for all members of an economy”. Monetary service suppliers, typically mentioned as banks,

are mostly classified into typical and Muslim banks supported their banking business model.

Muslim banking and finance entered into the mainstream monetary services business concerning

[*fr1] a century agone (Nawaz 2017a). Since then the business has developed itself to become one

in all the quickest growing segments within the field of finance (Khan and Bhatti 2008; Nawaz

2017c). Promotion of socio-economic justice through the distribution of wealth is one in all the

foremost salient options of the Muslim national economy (Nawaz 2015). shariah, or Shari’ah, that

guides Muslim political economy, implement this through the monetary establishments called

Muslim banks. The Muslim banking systems strive to market and deliver the goods monetary

inclusion among the society by giving interest-free banking and risk-sharing funding solutions

(Nawaz 2017d). Shari’ah-compliant microfinance is one in all the foremost widespread monetary

instruments used by Muslim banks to boost access to finance. inside the microfinance, suite exists

benevolent loans (or card-al-Hashanah), that are thought of to be the final word monetary

instrument to market monetary inclusion, especially for the weaker sections of the society World

Health Organization don't have direct access to the monetary establishments. This side of Muslim

banking is by trial and error examined in this paper. Since the start of the new millennium, the

Muslim finance business has maintained a gentle, yet robust, growth and has outperformed its

typical rivals. The business moon-faced its 1st take a look at since the origination throughout the

2007–2008 monetary crisis, that diode to the collapse of the many leading typical banks. The

potency and stability of Muslim finance throughout the recent world monetary crisis tried the

soundness of the Muslim approach of banking and urged researchers to review the underpinning

of the Muslim banking business model (Ahmed 2008; gesture et al. 2013; Khan and Bhatti 2008;

Nawaz 2016a).

Muslim banking relies on the ideology of Shari’ah, called shariah, that guides the social

and economic aspects of the Muslim faith. beneath Muslim jurisprudence, Muslim banks don't

seem to be allowed to charge interest (or riba), invest in illicit activities (i.e., alcohol, tobacco,

armaments, or pornography), or encourage/promote gharial (uncertainty). moreover, Muslim

banks, in theory, don't transfer risk; rather, the risk is shared between the recipient and therefore

the investor. Muslim banks use monetary instruments, corresponding to musharakah, to create a

joint venture-based profit and loss sharing principle (for any details see (Iqbal and Mirakhor 2011;

Khan 2010)). moreover, Muslim banks are co-governed by the spiritual students to observe the

Shari’ah compliance of all their product and services (Nawaz 2017a). Hence, the Muslim banking

business model relies on the moral values derived from Muslim Shari’ah law, which incorporates

watching the actions of the managers closely not solely to safeguard the stakeholders’ interest,

however, to scale back the financial loss and ultimately promote monetary inclusion. The key

options of the Muslim banking business model counsel that Muslim banking relies on intangible

sources (i.e., Shari’ah law), that are exploited to fort worth, i.e., stability, profitableness, and

monetary inclusion. The construct of immateriality is at the core of the development of intellectual

capital (IC), that has been argued to be a supply of competitive advantage for monetary services

sector in today’s information-intensive space (see, inter alia, Cabrita and Bontis 2008; Kamath

2007; Nawaz 2018, 2017b). like all different knowledge-intensive sector, the banking system, in

general, and Muslim banks, especially, are obsessed with their intellectual capital resources to

form worth (Nawaz and Goj 2013). However,there is a scarcity of empirical proof in examining

this relationship, significantly within the context of Muslim banking and finance. This analysis

aims to fill during this opening. Against this background, the most purpose of this paper is to by

trial and error examine the sources of competitive advantage for Muslim banks and the way they

relate to the final word objective of Muslim banking: monetary inclusion. This paper is organized

as follows; Section two provides the background of the present analysis whereas explanation the

analysis hypotheses. The analysis methodology and analysis variables are outlined in Section

three. Section four presents the results of the applied math analysis, whereas the ultimate half

concludes the paper.

2. Background and Development of Hypotheses

2.1. Intellectual Capital: In step with Wriston (1993) “the new supply of wealth isn't material, it's

info, information applied to figure to form worth (p. 1)”. Consent with this argument, Stewart, and

Ruckdeschel (1998) counsel that each knowledge(i.e., intangible) and physical (i.e., tangible)

resources are essential to form worth and term this mixture, the intellectual capital (IC). IC is any

divided into human and structure capital, wherever the previous refers to the human intellect, that

generates new concepts and therefore the later refers to the supporting mechanism, that helps

human capital to convert those concepts into the tangible product (Nawaz 2017b). Previous

analysis suggests that IC is that the main driver important creation within the banking system

(Cabrita and Bontis 2008; Kamath 2007; Nawaz 2017a). Since Muslim banks are in the main

concerned in relationship banking and their financial gain sources (depositors and borrowers) are

completely different from the standard banks, such banks are expected to form worth by
