| Summary: | This paper aimed to address four important goals of the sustainable
development goals, which are the eradication of poverty and hunger, the
provision of health services and quality education. It also signifies the
importance of Islamic social finance and its potential in achieving these
goals with different examples in Qatar. The inductive approach was relied
on, and the study showed that the efforts of Qatar to eradicate poverty and
hunger since the past decade have borne fruit through the cooperation of
all sectors and several policies and institutions that included Islamic social
finance institutions, and that Islamic financial institutions actively
participate in efforts to provide health services. This paper also found that
Qatar provides quality education to all citizens with the aim of building
generations aware of a culture of peace ،and the country's government is
also promoting means of benefiting from science and technology.
However, Islamic social finance institutions still need to expand the
horizons of their support for education and health services through the
dissemination of public knowledge on tools such as Sukuk (Islamic
bonds), in addition to the fact that challenges still exist regarding the
implementation of some national policies to achieve integration between
different sectors and Islamic social finance institutions. |
