Abstract
Islamic personal financing (IPF) is an emerging phenomenon though less investigated area in
Islamic finance. IPF, which the Islamic banks offer according to the needs of their customers, has
been overlooked especially using a comprehensive model(s) in most of the developing Islamic
countries. This study closes the gap and examines the factors (i.e., attitude, government
support, social influence, pricing, and awareness) that determine the acceptance of Islamic
personal financing in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province, Pakistan. Relying on the survey, the
study used a sample of Islamic banks’ customers who were studying or doing a job in higher
education institutions. The data were collected through a survey by distributing 600
questionnaires out of which 360 valid responses were used for further analysis. For analyzing
the data, the Smart-PLS was used with structural equation modeling to get results of the
hypothesized relationships. Results of the present study reveal that social influence, attitude,
government support, and awareness have positive and significant effects while pricing has a
negative but significant impact on the acceptance of IPF. The findings of this study can be used
as a tool for making better policies and right practices of Islamic banks thereby enhancing the
IPF in Pakistan.
