Required data is collected from bank scope database. The empirical results have found strong evidence that only internal factors have strong influence on the profitability on banking sector whereas external factors have no influence on the profitability. In spite of time constrain, I tried at my best level to find out current situation of the profitability of the top selected Islamic and conventional banks of the six countries of the GCC that will helps the readers definitely.
