MPHIL ECONOMICS, UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD

A desire to understand and tackle issues such as income inequality and poverty traps informed my decision to study Economics at university. In doing so, I have come to recognise how Muslim communities can utilise economic expertise to promote a more equitable society, for example by incentivising entrepreneurship in Islamic Finance or improving the efficiency and effectiveness of Muslim charities. I am grateful to the Aziz Foundation for providing me with the opportunity to develop this expertise further by studying MPhil Economics. Alongside real-world insight, I intend to use the rigorous training and research experience provided by the Masters to economically empower Muslim communities and benefit society at large.
