To achieve our objectives we conducted a survey in two cities of Malaysia: Kuantan and Kuala Terengganu in the states of Pahang and Terengganu respectively. A sample of 128 users of Al-Rahnu services were used to collect data through distributing a semi-structured questionnaire. The results were analyzed via the cross tabulation using excel spreadsheets. The findings from this study revealed that the community, especially the Malay ethnicity found Al-Rahnu services effective in fulfilling their needs of getting access to small short term loans with fast and hassle freeway and hence making them loyal to Al-Rahnu services. This implies that the Al-Rahnu services are well accepted as a better mean to ease short term financial difficulties and hence able to empower socio-economic needs of the people. The fulfillment of needs are derived from two main components of Al-Rahnu survey questions i.e. the loan tenure and the loan sufficiency. 2015 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/48192/7/GRDS_Conference_Proceedings.pdf application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/48192/3/GRDS_Conference_Proceedings2.jpg application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/48192/8/2016_A_Study_on_the_Efficacy_of_Islamic_Pawnbroking.pdf Mohd Noar, Nor Zaihan and Islam, Mohd Aminul (2015) A study on the efficacy of Islamic pawn broking services in fulfilling socio–economic needs : a case of two cities Kuantan and Kuala Terengganu in Malaysia.
