- Abstract
The current trend is the development of the Islamic business in the service sector for the Muslim population as the fastest growing segment of the global economy. In the Russian Federation, the development of this area is possible in the ethno-cultural cross-border micro-regions, such as the Republic of Tatarstan. The purpose of the study is (a) to describe the positioning of Islamic entrepreneurship and (b) to identify the socio-economic effects and limitations of its development. The methods of retrospective generalization and semi-formalized interview were used in our research. The research shows that the features of Islamic entrepreneurship, which is conditioned by the theological settings of the Muslim doctrine, describe its positioning in the priority direction of its development in trade. The paper also reveals certain limitations in the development of Islamic entrepreneurship. In particular, it notes the initial stage of formation and the vagueness of a meaningful understanding by businessmen of the essence of the Islamic economic model.
