2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW RELATED STUDIES ABOUT CUSTOMER AWARENESS AND ISLAMIC BANKING ADDIN CSL_CITATION { “citationItems” : { “id” : “ITEM-1”, “itemData” : { “abstract” : “The purpose of this research is to investigate the customer awareness and attitude towards the Islamic Banking. The Pakistan is developing into a hub of Islamic banking and has gained importance in Islamic financial sector due to its fast growing Muslim population. A descriptive study was carried out which involved a 32 items questionnaire grouped in 5 main variables was developed, tested and data is collected from twin cities of Pakistan. The research findings show that there are greater opportunities in Pakistan for development and growth of Islamic financial system because Muslim community is eager to take financial products and they are willing to spend their lives according to Shariah.
Furthermore, research also proved that there is a need to educate the Muslim community toward Islamic financial products; service providers need to develop the information system within the communities and Islamic banking institutions are required to work even harder for survival with conventional banking system.”, “author” : { “dropping-particle” : “”, “family” : “Khan”, “given” : “Hareem Nayyar”, “non-dropping-particle” : “”, “parse-names” : false, “suffix” : “” }, { “dropping-particle” : “”, “family” : “Asghar”, “given” : “Nadia”, “non-dropping-particle” : “”, “parse-names” : false, “suffix” : “” } , “container-title” : “Interdisciplinary Journal of Contemporary Research Business”, “id” : “ITEM-1”, “issue” : “9”, “issued” : { “date-parts” : “2012” }, “page” : “359-366”, “title” : “Customer awareness and adoption of Islamic Banking in Pakistan”, “type” : “article-journal”, “volume” : “3” }, “uris” : “http://www.mendeley.com/documents/?uuid=30144e69-74dd-46c7-b5ff-681c166f8dc3” } , “mendeley” : { “formattedCitation” : “(Khan & Asghar, 2012)”, “plainTextFormattedCitation” : “(Khan & Asghar, 2012)”, “previouslyFormattedCitation” : “(Khan & Asghar, 2012)” }, “properties” : { }, “schema” : “https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json” }(Khan ; Asghar, 2012) investigated customer awareness and adoption of Islamic banking in Pakistan, the researchers used descriptive study by adopting 32 Questionnaire stuffs focusing on 5main variables which are financial service, service knowledge, sharia based, customer service, targeting demographic factors like age, gender and education, the study concluded that most of Pakistan people are positive attitude and enough awareness towards the Islamic banking this result can be satisfactory according to Pakistan the country is developing in Islamic banking and becoming a hub to Islamic banks which encouraged the investors in Pakistan to put their money in Islamic banks shifting from conventional banks which will have positive impact on Pakistan Financial sector coming future. This Study Is important to my research because, the researchers focused on same variables like my research is intended to do and secondly they applied the same methodology I would like to use but I think they found out that that Pakistan people are aware of Islamic banking which is the reason that Pakistan people have Islamic culture and long term of government in the result of peaceful transition of power which different from my study area Somalia which suffered from civil war and lack of strong government institutions since 1991 when the military rule was ousted by rebel groups.

In my opinion this study looks another dimension which is examining the level of satisfaction of Kuwait customers towards Islamic retail products which good part but this dimension comes after customer uses and adopts Islamic banking products provide by Islamic banks in Kuwait where the study is conducted.

The findings also disclosed that the level of advertisements and promotions done by the banks are still very low in terms of creating awareness and families and friends still play a major part which may not be very effective.

This study is conducted east Africa where my study location is more over Kenya and Somalia are neighbors so study showed that Kenyan consumers are not that aware of Islamic banking but according to culture and religion which is the country is different from each other, Kenya most of population is Christian but in Somalia 100% of the population are Muslim which can lead to different result if the study is conducted in Mogadishu.

(1983; 2003) Diffusion of Innovation. Specifically, the impact of perceived attributes and other variables (understanding, consumer innovativeness and bank personnel?s professionalism), on Islamic banking adoption is examined. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative approach using a sample of 200 working MBA students in a leading public University in Malaysia was employed. The instrument used was a self-administered questionnaire survey. Findings The level of understanding of various Islamic banking concepts is below average. A logistic regression reveals that the understanding of Islamic banking concepts and perceived advantage significantly influences the adoption of Islamic banking services.
Research limitations/implications The small sample size of 200 individuals may render the findings ungeneralizable. Future studies may employ a larger sample from across Malaysia and incorporate other independent variables such as religiosity and Islamic financial literacy. Practical implications The Malaysian government can provide tax incentives and conduct educational roadshows on Islamic banking. Educating prospective consumers on the advantages of Islamic banking as opposed to Conventional banking would provide more objective benefits that would boost the adoption of Islamic banking. Originality/value The results of this study will be useful for Islamic financial institutions to increase their marketing and promotional efforts to keep pace with stiff competition within the industry.”, “author” : { “dropping-particle” : “”, “family” : “Mahdzan”, “given” : “Nurul Shahnaz”, “non-dropping-particle” : “”, “parse-names” : false, “suffix” : “” }, { “dropping-particle” : “”, “family” : “Zainudin”, “given” : “Rozaimah”, “non-dropping-particle” : “”, “parse-names” : false, “suffix” : “” }, { “dropping-particle” : “”, “family” : “Au”, “given” : “Sook Fong”, “non-dropping-particle” : “”, “parse-names” : false, “suffix” : “” } , “container-title” : “Journal of Islamic Marketing”, “id” : “ITEM-1”, “issue” : “2”, “issued” : { “date-parts” : “2017” }, “page” : “264-288”, “title” : “The adoption of Islamic banking services in Malaysia”, “type” : “article-journal”, “volume” : “10” }, “uris” : “http://www.mendeley.com/documents/?uuid=0a5f2ed6-cc41-4ddd-961e-40a5cbe2accb” } , “mendeley” : { “formattedCitation” : “(Mahdzan, Zainudin, & Au, 2017)”, “plainTextFormattedCitation” : “(Mahdzan, Zainudin, & Au, 2017)”, “previouslyFormattedCitation” : “(Mahdzan, Zainudin, & Au, 2017)” }, “properties” : { }, “schema” : “https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json” }(Mahdzan, Zainudin, ; Au, 2017) researched the adoption of Islamic banking services in Malaysia to test the level of understand of Islamic banking and factors effecting the adoption if Islamic banking, the study used descriptive design by distributing Questionnaire to 200 MBA working student who have been selected in famous public university in Malaysia, the studied concluded that the level of understanding is below average and the Islamic banking concepts and perceived knowledge have significant effect on the adoption of Islamic banking The preliminary findings show that the respondents’ self-reported level of understanding on Riba and Shariah concepts is above average; however, their understanding on concepts such as ijarah,Mudharabah, musharakah, and Murabaha appears to be low.
This study focused factors that affect the adoption of Islamic banking in Malaysia and the level of understanding which are good dimension that needs the attention but I would recommend as further studies.
