The importance of preparing this program came after the global financial crisis of 2008 that affected the capitalist system and narrowed the maneuvering areas. From one hand, many businessmen have recognized the importance of the ethical and religious dimensions in the finance industry, and the importance of linking it to the real investment sector from the other hand, and this can only be part of the Islamic financial system. Moreover, the strength of Islamic banks and Islamic financial institutions appeared facing the financial and Epidemiological crisis, especially when the Islamic banks were able to face and keep their strength during COIVD-19 epidemic.
