From September 16 to 18, 2025, Uzbekistan — the Pearl of Central Asia — will welcome the world to Tashkent for a major global event:
The 20th International Shariah Scholars Forum (ISSF 2025). This is the first time Uzbekistan will host such a high-level international event in Islamic finance.
Why Uzbekistan?
Uzbekistan is quickly becoming a rising star in the world of Islamic finance. The government is actively building a supportive legal and regulatory environment. Local banks are preparing to launch Islamic windows and even fully Islamic banking services.
ISSF 2025 will give a strong push to these efforts — helping to connect global experts with local institutions and unlock new opportunities.
What to Expect at ISSF 2025
This forum will gather:
- Top Shariah scholars

Together, they’ll discuss:
- How to move from conventional to Shariah-compliant banking

- Creating strong, ethical finance models in mixed economies
The goal? To share best practices, build capacity, and spark new partnerships across borders.
