Intellectual capital (I.C.) and other intangible assets have changed the modern economy, especially knowledge-intensive fields like banking. Utilizing the VAIC model, the study examines the correlation between financial performance and I.C. efficiency in Islamic institutions in Pakistan. This research fills a void in the literature regarding Islamic banking's role in improving financial performance by concentrating on Islamic banking's distinctive context governed via Shariah-compliant principles. The research sample includes 11 Islamic banks; more studies evaluate I.C. components and banks' financial performance through AMOS software. The findings suggest that greater I.C. efficiency, mainly through human and structural capital, positively impacts financial outcomes, offering insights into how Islamic banks optimize intangible assets to enhance financial performance. This research helps banks improve economic competitiveness and sustainability, centred on knowledge and recognition of Islamic banking I.C.'s strategic position.
