| Summary: | As we know, Malaysia had introduced Islamic Banking System (IBS), with the establishment of
Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad (BIMB). The main factor of success is the collective efforts of all
Muslims in avoiding "riba", a common practice in conventional banking system. Although IBS
has offered more than 20 years of modem banking services, many Muslims community have
expressed their lack of understandings of the Islamic banking concepts. The study is to explore
how much the Muslim society in Malaysia understands IBS. This paperwork aims to measure the
level of understanding among Muslim in the East Coast of Malaysia. Based on the survey
analysis, the researcher finds the low level of understanding about IBS. Therefore, this
paperwork will give some suggestions on how to increase the level of awareness among
community especially Muslim towards IBS. The researcher believes that the government's
inspiration of IBS's growth to 20% in national banking system by 2020 will succeed through
consistent efforts in promoting IBS.
