Islamic Economic Research Center

ILKE Science Culture Education Foundation is an umbrella organization established in 2010 in order to operate in the field of business ethics and entrepreneurship, academic studies and non-formal religious education together with its institutions and to conduct pioneering studies that improve the strategic outlook on these issues. Within this framework, it undertakes the function of a center that produces information, policies and strategies in the areas of work of the institutions under the roof of the ILKE Foundation, ensures the representation of our institutions in public and improves corporate relations.

The ILKE aims both to eliminate the Decoupling between academia and the business world and to evaluate the modern economic structure surrounded by the capitalist economic system in terms of Islamic values, and to carry out a number of activities that will build the theoretical structure of a new paradigm. He has established the Islamic Economics Research Center (IKAM) in order to carry his Islamic economics studies, which he has been carrying out for a long time, to a more effective basis and to meet the ever-expanding demand and need in the field of Islamic economics. Established by the ILKE with the institutional support of ILEM and IGIAD, activities such as research, publication, training, conferences and workshops are carried out at the center.

Islamic economics studies in general remain limited in our country and in the world, and studies need to be diversified. All the antitheses about the capitalist system are being refuted day by day, and an alternative that will be a remedy against this unjust system cannot be developed. Islamic economics has the potential to provide a fairer economic life and distribution with the proposed systems and practices. Because the effort and claim of Islamic economics stems from faith, and this teaching imposes responsibilities on Muslims in terms of what they do and say. In this context, in the light of past accumulations, there is a need for competent researchers to focus on new studies and turn to this field.

The Islamic Economics Workshop, organized by IKAM since 2013, started with this idea and made valuable contributions to the knowledge base. This workshop, which has turned into a product and covers the field of theoretical and applied economics rather than current financial issues, has attracted great interest. IKAM aims to carry out new studies based on this accumulation and to increase the production of knowledge in different fields.

OUR AIM

The Islamic Economics Research Center (IKAM) was established in order to contribute to the conduct of Islamic economics studies in a more qualified manner. IKAM aims to encourage the production of competent ideas and theories for the comprehensive construction of the idea of ”Islamic economics" and to provide a basis for new studies. 

IKAM aims to carry out long-term, in-depth, holistic, qualified studies for the formation of a system that promotes fair, halal earnings and respects human and human labor as an alternative to the current economic system, which is developing hand in hand with capitalism. This center, which will address Islamic economics on both theoretical and practical grounds, aims to create a structure that expands the issues of Islamic economics on various platforms by addressing them in different dimensions and enriching them with various activities so that they can benefit people working in the field.

IKAM, which attracts more attention to the field with its rich content and various activities, aims to fill an important gap in the field as a center containing concrete solution proposals that can be an alternative to the existing capitalist system on both national and international platforms.
