Abstract: An intention is an individual's internal desire to predict behaviour.As an all-encompassing religion, Islam is a way of life that places priority on the intention of its believers that leads to their actions.In the field of entrepreneurship, previous researches have proven that entrepreneurial intention has a crucial role in predicting entrepreneurial behaviour.This topic of entrepreneurial intention has been attracting considerable attention and thus generating an abundance of literature.However, discussions on entrepreneurial intention from the Islamic perspective are still limited and lack the interest from researchers.Thus, the primary purpose of this conceptual paper is to explore entrepreneurial intention from the Islamic perspective.The discussion begins with an elaboration of the importance of religion in entrepreneurship.Then, it deliberates on the concept of intention in Islam and provides a review of the antecedents of entrepreneurial intention in Islamic practices.The literature review leads the researchers to imply a conceptual framework for the relationship between entrepreneurial knowledge, entrepreneurial motivation and entrepreneurial intention through religious belief as a moderator.
