The study aims to investigate the relationships between Total Return (TR) on Islamic stock prices and key economic indicators such as GDP growth rate, interest rate, and Foreign Direct Investment. Data for the analysis is obtained from financial statements downloaded from Bursa Malaysia and The World Bank Data. The research seeks to shed light on how these economic factors influence the Total Return of Islamic stock markets, providing insights into the performance and behavior of Islamic stock markets in Malaysia. The findings emphasize the significant impact of GDP growth rate, interest rate, and Foreign Direct Investment on the performance of Islamic stock markets, offering valuable implications for investors and policymakers in the Islamic finance sector.
