Post September 11, 2001, Muslim communities globally have witnessed a continuous erosion of trust, although with varying degrees in different societies. The international and interdisciplinary perspectives afforded by this conference is meant to re - envision how trust in the broadest sense is conceived between different communities, and especially between Muslim and non - Muslim communities.

The conference focuses on Islamic capital values, businesses, brands and markets. It takes a critical approach to general trends and misconceptions and encourages creative perspectives and empirical research.


The International Conference on Trust and Islamic Capital (30 th and 31 st May 2015), is the first of its kind and is organised by ‘Muslims, Trust and Cultural Dialogue’, in collaboration with University of East London (U.K.) and University of Virginia (U.S.A.). It will be homed in the Islamic Finance , Law and Communities Centre which is part of University of East London.
