As part of the IHU Economics Seminars organised by IHU Department of Economics, Asst. Prof. Fatih Al will present his ongoing research titled “Faith in Practice: Moral Agency of Muslim Third-Sector Leaders in Asia”. The conference will take place on 9 October 2026, at 02:15 PM, in Media and Events Center Teoman Duralı Conference Hall.
The study examines how leaders of Muslim charities, waqf institutions, and other third-sector organizations across Asia approach consequential decisions involving uncertainty, limited resources, and competing responsibilities. Drawing on qualitative interviews, the research focuses particularly on how faith and moral values shape the framing of decisions, the evaluation of alternatives, understandings of responsibility, and responses to uncertainty.
The seminar will present preliminary findings from the Asian sample and discuss their implications for understanding moral agency and organizational decision-making in Muslim third-sector institutions.
