Modes Of Islamic Banking

MURABAHAMUSAWAMAHISTISNAMUDARABAHMUSHARAKAH

MURABAHA(mark-up sale) It comes from the Arabic word 'ribh'

means profit. Murabaha is selling a commodity as per the purchasing price with a defined and agreed profit mark-up. The bank shares in the risk of ownership. Rather than simply advancing money to a client, the bank itself buys the goods from a third party on request of a customer. The bank then sells it to the customer for a pre-agreed price through a deferred payment scheme, usually in the form of installments.

MUSAWAMAHAn Islamic finance term that describes

a sale in which the seller is not obligated to disclose the price paid to create or obtain the good or service. This defers from murabaha, where a buyer knows the cost of the underlying asset.

Musawamah usually occurs when it is difficult to determine what the cost of a particular good or service was, or when the good is comprised of a pool of products.

ISTISNALiterally istina means "request for

production". It is kind of sale where a commodity is

transacted before it comes into existence. It means to order a manufacturer to manufacture a specific commodity for the purchaser. If the manufacturer undertakes to manufacture the goods for him with material from the manufacturer, the transaction of istisna‘ comes into existence

MUDARABAHMudarabah is a special kind of

partnership where one partner providers the capital (rabb-ul-maal) to the other (mudarib) for investment in a commercial enterprise.

Generally, the investor will not participate in the everyday management of things in this type of agreement.

MUSHARAKAH(profits and loss sharing system)It is an agreement between two

persons or more (bank and customer)sharing both profits and losses. It is a joint enterprise where all the partners contribute capital and the client bring in know how. Profit/losses are shared on agreed ratios.

RIBAAll increases in wealth or benefits

accruing to a person without any labour, risk, or expertise.

One who wishes to earn profit on his monetary investment must bear the loss or damage accruing to the business where his money capital is to be used.

RIBA - UNANIMITYBanu Thaqif of Taif, not to forego

interest on their receivables; Banu Amr ibnal Moghirah refused to pay interest; Referred to the H Prophet, the Revalation came:

“O you who believe. Fear Allah, and give up the Riba that remains outstanding if you are (in truth) believer”. (11:278).

18

RIBA - UNANIMITY (CONTD)

“If you do not do so, then be sure of being at war with Allah and his Messenger. But, if you repent, then you have your principal”. (11:279)

19

And if you repent, then you have your principal. Wrong not, and you shall not be wronged ”. {without inflicting or receiving injustice}

20

And fear the day when you shall be brought back to Allah.

Then shall every soul be paid what it earned and none shall be dealt with unjustly.

CONCLUSION Islamic banking and finance are a part of Islamic

economic system, the basis of which revolves around justice and morality. It is a very young concept in modern times yet it is emerging as one of the fastest growing areas of international finance. It facilitates the uplifting of economic standards of its clients by providing various types of lending contracts. Above all it is Shari'ah compliant, hence protects a Muslim from dealing with Riba, thus avoiding Allah's wrath and war. Let us all support Islamic banking venture, which is being provided by the establishment of Gulf African Bank. We pray and believe that the bank will strictly stick to Islamic principles and Shari'ah and uplift the living standards of all those who endeavour to do so in a decent manner – Amin.
