Abstract: This study aims at investigating not only the impact of service quality (SQ) and religiosity on the satisfaction of Islamic banks' clients, but also the impact of satisfaction on electronic word of mouth (e-wom). Data have been collected from 120 customers of three Tunisian Islamic banks. The analysis of the data by the structural equations has allowed it to put the hypotheses through empirical evidence. The findings confirmed a relationship between dimensions of service quality and customer satisfaction. A positive relationship with the satisfaction of Islamic banks' customers and the electronic word-of-mouth has also been found. However, the paper has not found any significant relationship between the religiosity and the bank customers' satisfaction. This is a pioneering research effort bringing into play three concepts at the same time: service quality, customer satisfaction and e-wom within the context of Tunisia.
