Shariah is a set of laws based on Islamic principles. It governs thepublic and private aspects of people living in an Islamic system.The regulations of the Shariah are derived primarily from theQuran (Holy Book of Muslims) and Sunnah (Dealings andTeachings of Prophet Mohammad - Peace be upon him).

The very objective of the Shariah is to promote the welfare of thepeople, which lies in safeguarding their faith, their life, theirintellect, their posterity and their wealth. It can be divided intotwo groups:

1. Regulations on faith, worship and ritual duties.2. Regulations on dealings with people, financial transactions

and contracts.

Shariah Compliance

We will restrict our focus to the matters related to financial management and in specific complying with Shariah regulations in terms of theIslamic financial transactions.

The very core of Islamic finance is to avoid Riba or interest. In layman terms, a loan that derives any kind of benefit is termed as Riba. TheIslamic financial system is an alternate of conventional banking system based on transactions such as a sale, lease or partnership, having itsown specific operational procedures and risks.

To ensure an Islamic bank is operating within the prescribed Shariah framework, almost every Islamic financial institution has an in-houseShariah scholar or a board comprising of two to three Shariah scholars who advise the management and guide them to ensure the operationsremain within the parameters of Shariah. In certain countries, banks have a dedicated Shariah Audit and Compliance department whichmonitors the day-to-day operations of the bank.

Importance of Shariah Compliance

One of the major risks an Islamic financial institution carries is reputational risk. Customers place their trust in the institution expecting thereturns are being generated in a Shariah-compliant manner.

From an institution’s perspective, any noncompliance identified results in loss of profit since income generated from a transaction violating thecore of Shariah once identified is given away as a charity, a minor mistake in execution of the contract can make the transaction completelyimpermissible.

Every geographical area has its own set of regulations which guide Islamic financial institutions, although some practices may di!er in certainregions, but each practice has to be approved by the respective Shariah scholars.

In this regard, standardization of processes is already under development. AAOIFI has emerged as a global entity which has issued Shariah andaccounting standards a"er a rigorous process of evaluation of each standard by multiple scholars.

Recent AAOIFI Developments

Over the years, the Islamic product development has evolved tocater to the demand of new and advanced products for itsexpanding customer base. AAOIFI is keeping up with the pace ofthese new developments and has recently issued 12 newstandards related to Shariah, Accounting, Governance and Code ofEthics. Apart from working on new standards, AAOIFI is alsorevising its existing standards which will give further clarity to theindustry.

For example, the treatment of Ijarah which was originally issued in1995 is now being revised to give clarity on the accountingtreatment for lessee, while the previous version’s focus wastowards the requirements of the lessor. Another importantrevision was made in the Murabaha accounting treatment to bringclarity on recording inventories, COGS (cost of goods sold) and thetreatment of discounts.

AAOIFI is currently discussing the Shariah Compliance andFiduciary Ratings for Islamic financial institutions, WaqfGovernance, Internal Shariah Audit, and Sukuk Governancestandards with the major players in the industry.

The Future

At the current pace of growth the Islamic finance industry would not be able to cope up with Shariah compliance requirements keeping in viewthe shortage of qualified resources and the associated costs. The operational costs of running an Islamic financial institution are high due to thetransactional nature where a contract has to be executed at the right event and the right sequence. With the growth of an institution the needfor human resources also increases and it will become inevitable for a bank to automate its operations to reduce its dependency on humaninvolvement and interventions.

The system should be capable enough to support the Islamic contracts from inception till payo! and profit distribution. A key challenge aShariah team faces is validating the correct execution sequence of a contract. The standard conventional banking systems are designed to lendmoney and are unable to capture the transactional sequence of an Islamic contract, therefore the Compliance department has to rely solely onthe supporting documents which being entirely manual can be manipulated. For example, to avoid making e!ort a sta! can get both the o!erand acceptance of a Murabaha contract signed o! simultaneously by the customer and later on he can mention the dates. Such practices maynot get detected by the Compliance department and they may need additional validations to ensure full compliance. However, if the sametransaction is executed within the system with the proper sequence of events, it would become virtually impossible to manipulate the record.On the other hand, the Shariah Compliance department will also save its resources with online access to the executed transaction, thusreducing the overall costs and mainly the cost of travelling and branch visits.

iMAL Solution

iMAL has been designed specifically for the Islamic financeindustry and is not built over a conventional banking system.Hence, the structure of the entire system is completely di!erent.The transactions carried out in the system are based on asequence of events which are designed keeping in view theIslamic modes of finance. This Islamic core banking platform givesthe financial institution the flexibility to build new solutions, andscaling up without compromising on Shariah principles.

Shariah is a set of laws based on Islamic principles. It governs thepublic and private aspects of people living in an Islamic system.The regulations of the Shariah are derived primarily from theQuran (Holy Book of Muslims) and Sunnah (Dealings andTeachings of Prophet Mohammad - Peace be upon him).

The very objective of the Shariah is to promote the welfare of thepeople, which lies in safeguarding their faith, their life, theirintellect, their posterity and their wealth. It can be divided intotwo groups:

1. Regulations on faith, worship and ritual duties.2. Regulations on dealings with people, financial transactions

and contracts.

Nauman Ul. HassanProduct Manager - Shariah ComplianceProduct ManagementPath Solutions

Shariah Compliance

We will restrict our focus to the matters related to financial management and in specific complying with Shariah regulations in terms of theIslamic financial transactions.

The very core of Islamic finance is to avoid Riba or interest. In layman terms, a loan that derives any kind of benefit is termed as Riba. TheIslamic financial system is an alternate of conventional banking system based on transactions such as a sale, lease or partnership, having itsown specific operational procedures and risks.

To ensure an Islamic bank is operating within the prescribed Shariah framework, almost every Islamic financial institution has an in-houseShariah scholar or a board comprising of two to three Shariah scholars who advise the management and guide them to ensure the operationsremain within the parameters of Shariah. In certain countries, banks have a dedicated Shariah Audit and Compliance department whichmonitors the day-to-day operations of the bank.

Importance of Shariah Compliance

One of the major risks an Islamic financial institution carries is reputational risk. Customers place their trust in the institution expecting thereturns are being generated in a Shariah-compliant manner.

From an institution’s perspective, any noncompliance identified results in loss of profit since income generated from a transaction violating thecore of Shariah once identified is given away as a charity, a minor mistake in execution of the contract can make the transaction completelyimpermissible.

Every geographical area has its own set of regulations which guide Islamic financial institutions, although some practices may di!er in certainregions, but each practice has to be approved by the respective Shariah scholars.

In this regard, standardization of processes is already under development. AAOIFI has emerged as a global entity which has issued Shariah andaccounting standards a"er a rigorous process of evaluation of each standard by multiple scholars.

Recent AAOIFI Developments

Over the years, the Islamic product development has evolved tocater to the demand of new and advanced products for itsexpanding customer base. AAOIFI is keeping up with the pace ofthese new developments and has recently issued 12 newstandards related to Shariah, Accounting, Governance and Code ofEthics. Apart from working on new standards, AAOIFI is alsorevising its existing standards which will give further clarity to theindustry.

For example, the treatment of Ijarah which was originally issued in1995 is now being revised to give clarity on the accountingtreatment for lessee, while the previous version’s focus wastowards the requirements of the lessor. Another importantrevision was made in the Murabaha accounting treatment to bringclarity on recording inventories, COGS (cost of goods sold) and thetreatment of discounts.

AAOIFI is currently discussing the Shariah Compliance andFiduciary Ratings for Islamic financial institutions, WaqfGovernance, Internal Shariah Audit, and Sukuk Governancestandards with the major players in the industry.

The Future

At the current pace of growth the Islamic finance industry would not be able to cope up with Shariah compliance requirements keeping in viewthe shortage of qualified resources and the associated costs. The operational costs of running an Islamic financial institution are high due to thetransactional nature where a contract has to be executed at the right event and the right sequence. With the growth of an institution the needfor human resources also increases and it will become inevitable for a bank to automate its operations to reduce its dependency on humaninvolvement and interventions.

The system should be capable enough to support the Islamic contracts from inception till payo! and profit distribution. A key challenge aShariah team faces is validating the correct execution sequence of a contract. The standard conventional banking systems are designed to lendmoney and are unable to capture the transactional sequence of an Islamic contract, therefore the Compliance department has to rely solely onthe supporting documents which being entirely manual can be manipulated. For example, to avoid making e!ort a sta! can get both the o!erand acceptance of a Murabaha contract signed o! simultaneously by the customer and later on he can mention the dates. Such practices maynot get detected by the Compliance department and they may need additional validations to ensure full compliance. However, if the sametransaction is executed within the system with the proper sequence of events, it would become virtually impossible to manipulate the record.On the other hand, the Shariah Compliance department will also save its resources with online access to the executed transaction, thusreducing the overall costs and mainly the cost of travelling and branch visits.

iMAL Solution

iMAL has been designed specifically for the Islamic financeindustry and is not built over a conventional banking system.Hence, the structure of the entire system is completely di!erent.The transactions carried out in the system are based on asequence of events which are designed keeping in view theIslamic modes of finance. This Islamic core banking platform givesthe financial institution the flexibility to build new solutions, andscaling up without compromising on Shariah principles.
