This paper demonstrates that the current Risk Management framework in Islamic Banks (IBs) needs improvement. The current “value-free” framework can be improved since presently guided by a single worldview. This worldview shapes and influences the on-going realities of the global financial system including IBs. The paper’s approach is moderately abstract employing philosophical, religious, historical and socio-political analysis. The modified “value driven” framework must reflect goals that are tangible and measurable. The twin notions of “ijtihad” and “jihad” need to be employed; essentially it is knowledge and action working in concert. Stakeholders within IB remain the conduit shaping the current and future framework. This is seen as an industrial, institutional down to a leadership/managerial challenge. There is logic in using the risk management framework as the conduit for Shariah values. Bring this together with human resource development and the use of technology and we essentially have the foundation of knowledge in Islam namely reason, experience and revelation. A well-functioning Islamic financial system transcends the Muslim world leading to a “win-win” for humanity. Key terms: Risk Management, Shariah, Knowledge, Worldview, Ijtihad, Jihad, Values, Technology and Human Resource.
