Islamic Finance Overview

Islamic Finance is governed by the Shariah (Islamic Law), sourced from the Quran and the Sunnah The Islamic law (Shariah) prohibits taking or giving interest (Riba) which is the most essential feature of Islamic banking.

The basic sources of Shariah principles are the ‘Quran’ and the ‘Sunnah’, which are followed by the consensus of the jurists and interpreters of Islamic law Introduction Profit sharing and fee-based financing approaches have developed in compliance with Shariah laws. These special modes of financing have emerged in retail, private and commercial banking for debt and capital markets, insurance, asset management, structured and project financing, derivates, etc.
