• Modern banking system was introduced into
the Muslim countries at a time when they
were politically and economically at a low ebb,
in the late 19th century. The main banks in the
home countries of the imperial powers
established local branches in the capitals of
the subject countries and they catered mainlyto the import export requirements of the
foreign businesses.

• The banks were generally confined to the capitalcities and the local population remained largelyuntouched by the banking system. The localtrading community avoided the “foreign” banks
both for nationalistic as well as religious reasons.However, as time went on it became difficult toengage in trade and other activities withoutmaking use of commercial banks. Even then many
confined their involvement to transactionactivities such as current accounts and moneytransfers.

• Borrowing from the banks and depositing theirsavings with the bank were strictly avoided in orderto keep away from dealing in interest which isprohibited by religion.
• With the passage of time, however, and other socio-economic forces demanding more involvement innational economic and financial activities, avoidingthe interaction with the banks became impossible.Local banks were established on the same lines asthe interest-based foreign banks for want of anothersystem and they began to expand within the countrybringing the banking system to more local people.

• As countries became independent the need toengage in banking activities became unavoidableand urgent. Governments, businesses andindividuals began to transact business with the
banks, with or without liking it. This state of affairs drew the attention and concern of Muslimintellectuals. The story of interest-free or Islamicbanking begins here. In the following paragraphs
we will trace this story to date and examine howfar and how successfully their concerns havebeen addressed

• Historical development
It seems that the history of interest-free
banking could be divided into two parts. First,
when it still remained an idea; second, when it
became a reality -- by private initiative in
some countries and by law in others.
We will discuss the two periods separately

• The last decade has seen a marked decline in
the establishment of new Islamic banks and
the established banks seem to have failed to
live up to the expectations. The literature of
the period begins with evaluations and ends
with attempts at finding ways and means of
correcting and overcoming the problemsencountered by the existing banks

• What is Islamic Banking?
Islamic banking is the conduct of banking
based on Shariah principles (Islamic rules on
transactions) and does not allow the paying
and receiving of interest while promoting
profit sharing.
8/2/2019 Islamic Banking Services

• It has exactly the same purpose as
conventional banking except that it operates
under the rules of Shariah, the law of Islam
that covers every aspect of life, based on the
holy Quran.
8/2/2019 Islamic Banking Services

• Islamic banks and financial institutions that
offer Islamic banking products are required to
establish a Shariah advisory committee to
advise them on the rules of the Shariah and to
ensure that they operate in accordance with
the Shariah principles

This is done in the following modes :
• A. Musharaka where a bank may join another
entity to set up a joint venture, both parties
participating in the various aspects of the projectin varying degrees. Profit and loss are shared in a
pre-arranged fashion. This is not very different
from the joint venture concept The venture is anindependent legal entity and the bank may
withdraw gradually after an initial period

B : Mudarabha where the bank contributes the
finance and the client provides the expertise,
management and labour. Profits are shared by
both the partners in a pre-arrangedproportion, but when a loss occurs the total
loss is borne by the bank.

• D: Financing on the basis of an estimated rate of
return.
• Under this scheme, the bank estimates the expectedrate of return on the specific project it is asked tofinance and provides financing on the understandingthat at least that rate is payable to the bank. (Perhapsthis rate is negotiable.) If the project ends up in a profitmore than the estimated rate the excess goes to the
client. If the profit is less than the estimate the bankwill accept the lower rate. In case a loss is suffered thebank will take a share in it.

• This is also done in several ways. The mainones are: a) Mark-up where the bank buys anitem for a client and the client agrees to repay
the bank the price and an agreed profit lateron. b) Leasing where the bank buys an itemfor a client and leases it to him for an agreedperiod and at the end of that period the
lessee pays the balance on the price agreed atthe beginning an becomes the owner of theitem. c) Hire-purchase

• where the bank buys an item for the client andhires it to him for an agreed rent and period, andat the end of that period the client automaticallybecomes the owner of the item. d) Sell-and-buy-
back where a client sells one of his properties tothe bank for an agreed price payable now oncondition that he will buy the property back aftercertain time for an agreed price. e) Letters of
credit where the bank guarantees the import of an item using its own funds for a client, on thebasis of sharing the profit from the sale of thisitem or on a mark-up basis.

• Main forms of Lending are:
A) Loans with a service charge where the bank lendsmoney without interest but they cover their expensesby levying a service charge. This charge may be subjectto a maximum set by the authorities.
B) No-cost loans where each bank is expected to setaside a part of their funds to grant no-cost loans toneedy persons such as small farmers, entrepreneurs,
producers, etc. and to needy consumers. c) Overdraftsalso are to be provided, subject to a certain maximum,free of charge.

According to this concept, a financier and his clientparticipate either in the joint ownership of aproperty or an equipment, or in a jointcommercial enterprise. The share of the financier
is further divided into a number of units and it isunderstood that the client will purchase the unitsof the share of the financier one by oneperiodically, thus increasing his own share till all
the units of the financier are purchased by him soas to make him the sole owner of the property, orthe commercial enterprise, as the case may be.

• In the previous section we listed the current
practices under three categories: deposits,
modes of financing (or acquiring assets) and
services. There seems to be no problems asfar as banking services are concerned
8/2/2019 Islamic Banking Services

• Islamic banks are able to provide nearly all the
services that are available in the conventional
banks. The only exception seems to be in the
case of letters of credit where there is apossibility for interest involvement. However
some solutions have been found for this
problem -- mainly by having excess liquiditywith the foreign bank.

• On the deposit side, judging by the volume of
deposits both in the countries where both
systems are available and in countries where
law prohibits any dealing in interest, the non-payment of interest on deposit accounts
seems to be no serious problem. Customers
still seem to deposit their money withinterest-free banks.
8/2/2019 Islamic Banking Services

• That leaves us with investment financing and
trade financing. Islamic banks are expected to
engage in these activities only on a profit and
loss sharing (PLS) basis. This is where thebanks’ main income is to come from and this
is also from where the investment account
holders are expected to derive their profitsfrom.

• And the latter is supposed to be the incentive
for people to deposit their money with the
Islamic banks. And it is precisely in this PLS
scheme that the main problems of the Islamicbanks lie. Therefore we will look at this system
more carefully in the following section.

• This body (AAOIFI )was established after an agreementsigned by various Islamic financial institutions on 26February 1990 and was registered in Bahrain as aninternational autonomous non-profit making corporatebody on 27 March 1991. At that time local countryaccounting standards were not well established in theMiddle East and a need was clearly felt for theestablishment of accounting standards for Islamicfinancial institutions that would be harmonized across
countries. AAOIFI has also established a Shariah Boardwhich is highly respected, and is probably the leadingglobal setter of Islamic finance Shariah standards.However the organization's name clearly indicates
