The research applied the questionnaire survey methodology where data was collected from five full-fledged Islamic banks of Pakistan. A total of 100 respondents were selected to complete the self- administered questionnaire and the response rate was 50 percent. Three of the sample banks were selected from Islamabad and two banks from Lahore because of the well-established banks in these two cities of Pakistan. The findings are divided into four sections: (1) The function of Islamic microfinance in poverty alleviation; (2) Islamic microfinance’s contribution to the community; (3) Islamic bank’s approach towards Islamic microfinance; and (4) Challenges for Islamic microfinance.
