is based on Revealed Knowledge demarcates itself from the other disciplines which are based on Acquired Knowledge. Thus, the educators for Islamic Finance have the added responsibility and Amanah to uphold the sanctity, nobility and the purity of this knowledge which must be incorporated and reflected in the programmes offered, researches conducted as well as the practices propagated based on the Quran and Sunnah. The International Council of Islamic Finance Educators (ICIFE) therefore, takes its stride in terms of fore-fronting the Islamic Finance educators in the mission to play a bigger role in charting the future growth of sustainable Maqasid-based Islamic Finance Education. Towards attaining this objective, coupled with the recognition of Malaysia as the International Islamic Finance Hub, Malaysia Islamic Finance Education Report Atlas 2021 and Beyond seeks to present the current landscape for Islamic Finance Education as offered by both public and private institutions of higher learning from the year 2017-2020. This MIFER Atlas 2021 and Beyond focuses on three (3) main areas namely, the programmes offered, the talent development, as well as graduate employability. It is hoped that by understanding the current landscape and identifying challenges and issues associated with each area, charting future growth for Islamic Finance Education both at the national and international fronts within a dynamic environment will be more impactful to benefit the ummah as a whole.
