Methodology/Technique-Maslaha-based VAS can improve VAS weaknesses in Baydoun and Willett's (2000) ICRs and be an alternative to the 1993 and 2010 AAOFI income statements. Findings-The use of the kharaj bi al dhaman, maslaha, and nafaqa concepts could direct the content and structure of financial reports from the "secular" one into sharia and humanistic. Novelty-The application of the concept of kharaj bi al dhaman substitutes for the matching concept; the idea of nafaqa substitutes for expenses; and the notion of maslaha makes the maslaha-based VAS more powerful, philosophical, conceptual, and practical than the VAS of Baydoun and Willett and the AAOIFI income statement Type of Paper: Review JEL Classification: M41, M42.
