10



The basic principles of Islamic financing are

derived from the axioms of justice and

harmony with reality on one hand and

human nature on the other.(Kahf,1992,2004)

11



The principles of justice are essential in all

forms of Islamic financing.The Principles of justice and fairness requires

that the actual result or profit of such

cooperation should be fairly distributed

between the two parties and nothing else.

12



Islamic banking provides means of payment in the form of producers’

principal in projects on the basis of sharing the actual, real-life outcome of a production process.

13



Both partiesshare in actual

outcome or netprofit/ loss of

productiveproject.

It is not throwing the risk burden

on one party.

There is no guarantee return

to the provider of money regardlessof whether the

project makes orloses money.

14



Is incapable of growing or increasing because it is purely conceptual : it is arelationship between a person andanother person.

How can a debt grow?

How it can increase?

Except by:

15



16



losses should be carried in proportion to financing advanced.

If a financier wants to have a claim on a partof the return of the project,

17



18



Financial intermediation means taking fundsfrom people who have more than they need

and providing those funds to persons whoneed them for their economic transactionsand activities.

This is done in conventional banks on thebasis of loan contracts .

19



Islamic banks are also Financial

intermediaries

It makes their financial intermediation on several

contracts that do not include lending andborrowing because interest is prohibited in Islamic

law .

20



Loan Contract.

SharingContract

Leasing Contract

Salecontract.

21



In the function of financial intermediation,

Islamic Banks contracts of investment and use of funds to theentrepreneurs and other users of fund.

The of getting goods that arepurchased for sale or lease and of establishing projects is left to the user of funds, and the Islamic Bank acts upon ordersfrom the users of funds.

22



Islamic banks use three major categories of

financing instruments or modes:

( None of them has any interest component)

23



Under the principle of sharing, IBs providefinancing to projects on the expectation of a share in the return.

If a project loses, all capital providers andfinancing contributors lose together andproportionately.

24



are only possible for

productive enterprises that involve real-life businesses that increase quantity orimprove quality or enhance usability of real goods and services.

By doing this, such businesses generate

a return that can distributed betweenentrepreneur and the financier.

25



are those that involveactual, physical exchange of commodities or

provision of services from one to anotherwhere by financing is measured only by thereal sale of commodities and can only beprovided to the extent of the real value of goods exchanged.

26



Islamic Banks buy goods and supplythem to users: producers and/or

consumers against future repayment.

27



1) The simplest is where the bank sells realgoods, equipment and machinery to theirusers at an agreed-upon marked-up price.

2) Construction/manufacturing contract.

3) Deferred delivery contract.

Sale-based modes can end up in one lump sum

deferred payment or in installments spread overa certain period of time.

28



Leasing modes can have a variety of forms:(As practiced in leasing companies and in many conventional banks)

Ø Fixed or Variable rents.

Ø Declining or Fixed ownership.Ø Operational or Financial.

With different conditions regarding thestatus of leased assets at the end of thelease period.
