This paper builds on a chapter by the speaker in the recent book 'Loving the Planet' (ed. Paul S. Fiddes, 2023), examining the Islamic financial industry through the lens of the Love of God. It argues that the notion of love lies at the core of the Islamic financial theory and that it, consequently, has bearings on the practical applications of the industry. The foundation for this discussion, it is urged, lies in a reading of the Holy Qur'an through the hermeneutical tool of love of God and neighbour. The paper then connects love in Islamic finance with the 'Green Economy', suggesting that an authentic vision for Islamic finance is one which aims at establishing a green economy founded upon the love of God.
