The finding proves that only Gold can affect the Islamic Equity Index in the short term, then Bitcoin and Gold proved to contribute equally to the Islamic Equity Index in the long term. However, Bitcoin has the potential to provide positively correlated shocks and dominate the value of Islamic equity indices in the long term. The results demonstrate that government intervention is decisive in maintaining the stability of the Shariah Equity Index from future Bitcoin threats.
