02 — The InflectionA Standards Wave Meets a Scholar Shortage

Islamic finance is doubling.
The scholar bench isn't.

Standards
62AAOIFI

Standard 62, issued 2023, forces the industry to re-audit existing contract templates. Every bank, every product, all at once.

Market
$4 Tand rising

Islamic finance assets globally — projected to roughly double by 2030 (LSEG IFDI 2025). Compliance review demand compounds with every new product launch.

Scholars
1,617globally

Qualified Sharia scholars worldwide. The senior generation is retiring — and their thirty years of unpublished rulings retire with them.

Scholar Reviews Findings

The AI flags issues, cites the exact standard and section, and supplies the Arabic source text.

Decision + Audit Trail

The scholar rules. The system generates an SHA-256-signed compliance certificate.

The AI does not decide. The scholar does. The AI gives the scholar proof.

04 — What Makes It DifferentThree Principles

Built by people who read the standards in Arabic.

I.

Scholar-in-the-Loop.

No AI recommendations. No override buttons. The scholar's ruling is the first and only authority — confirmed as theologically correct by AAOIFI.

SS1–60II.

All 60 Standards. Full Arabic Text.

Every AAOIFI Sharia Standard (SS1–SS60) ingested, vectorised, and searchable in Arabic. Not summaries — the actual standards.

III.

Institutional Memory.

Every decision becomes a searchable precedent. When a scholar retires, their thirty years of rulings stay. The system learns from your institution — not the other way around.

05 — ArchitectureFive Layers of Compliance

A stack built
the way scholars think.

Tap a layer to learn more

Every fatwa your Sharia Supervisory Board has ever issued — past resolutions, unpublished committee notes, carve-outs granted to specific clients — ingested and vector-indexed. When a new contract arrives, the system finds the closest precedent from your own institution first. This is the layer competitors cannot replicate: it is your thirty years of deliberation, not a scraped public dataset.

Every paragraph of SS1 through SS60, in the Arabic originals AAOIFI publishes, chunked with paragraph-level granularity and embedded with an Arabic-aware tokenizer. Flags cite the exact standard, section, and paragraph; the Arabic source text is one click away. No translation drift, no summary compression — the scholar verifies against the authoritative text.

The International Islamic Financial Market master agreements — the templates the industry actually uses. Non-standard clauses in an incoming contract are flagged against the canonical template so the scholar sees deviations immediately. Structural issues get caught at the template-diff layer before they reach the standards review.

Central Bank of Bahrain Rulebook Volume 2, Saudi SAMA circulars, UAE Higher Sharia Authority resolutions, Bank Negara Malaysia's Shariah Advisory Council rulings. Per-jurisdiction rule sets apply to contracts filed under that jurisdiction. Regulatory overlays never conflict silently — the scholar sees exactly which rule triggered each flag.

Your Sharia committee's written interpretations — the policy book your auditors actually follow. Internal carve-outs (e.g. a specific late-payment mechanism your committee approved in 2019) apply automatically so the AI does not flag what your own scholars have already resolved. This layer is a living document that grows with every ruling.

Deployment

On-premise, air-gapped optional. No data leaves your infrastructure. CBB data-residency compliant by default.

Retrieval

Every flag cites standard, section, paragraph, and Arabic source text — verifiable in one click.
