Islamic Banking and Finance  
Musharaka :
It means partnership. It involves you placing your capital with another person and both
sharing the risk and reward. The difference between Musharaka arrangements
and normal banking is that you can set any kind of profit sharing ratio, but
losses must be proportionate to the amount invested.
Types of Musharaka :
Declining-Balance Shared Equity: Commonly used to finance a home purchase,
the declining balance method calls for the bank and the investor to purchase
the home jointly, with the institutional investor gradually transferring its
portion of the equity in the home to the individual homeowner, whose
payments constitute the homeowner's equity.
Permanent Musharaka:In this form of Musharaka an Islamic bank
participates in the equity of a project and receives a share of profit on a
pro rata basis. The period of contract is not specified. So it can continue
so long as the parties concerned wish it to continue.

Mudaraba :
Refers to an investment on your behalf by a more skilled person. It takes the form of a 

contract between two parties, one who provides the funds and the other who provides
the expertise and who agree to the division of any profits made in advance. In other
words, Islamic Bank would make Sharia’a compliant investments and share the profits
with the customer, in effect charging for the time and effort. If no profit is made, the loss
is borne by the customer and Islamic Bank.

(MurabahaMurabahah (cost-plus financing) :
Murabaha is a contract for purchase and resale and allows the customer to make
purchases without having to take out a loan and pay interest. Islamic Bank purchases the
goods for the customer, and re-sells them to the customer on a deferred basis, adding an
agreed profit margin. The customer then pays the sale price for the goods over
instalments, effectively obtaining credit without paying interest.


Islamic Leasing
Leasing or ijara is also frequently practiced by Islamic banks. Under this mode, the banks
would buy the equipment or machinery and lease it out to their clients who may opt to buy
the items eventually,(HirHire Purchase) in which case the monthly payments will consist of two
components, i.e., rental for the use of the equipment and installment towards the purchase
price.
The description given above, contains the following essential ingredients for
outlining the basic rules under Shari'ah:
That there has to be a valuable use of the asset and transferability of that usufruct.
That the ownership of the asset is retained by the transferor or lessor throughout the
lease period. Consumable cannot be leased.
That the risk and liabilities of ownership lie with the lessor. The leased asset shall
remain the risk of the lessor throughout the lease period. Any loss or harm caused by
factors beyond the control of the lessee shall be borne by the lessor
That the risk and liabilities associated with the use of the asset shall be borne by
the lessee
•Istisnaa (manufacturing)
Is a contract to acquire goods on behalf of a third party where the price is paid to the
manufacturer in advance and the goods produced and delivered at a later date .
Bai'salam ( prepaid purchase)
A contract in which advance payment is made for goods to be delivered later on. The seller
undertakes to supply some specific goods to the buyer at a future date in exchange of an
advance price fully paid at the time of contract. It is necessary that the quality of the
commodity intended to be purchased is fully specified leaving no ambiguity leading to
dispute.
SUMMARY:
An Islamic bank is a deposit-taking banking institution whose scope of activities
includes all currently known banking activities, excluding borrowing and lending
on the basis of interest. On the liabilities side, it mobilizes funds on the basis of a
Mudarabah or Wakalah (agent) contract. It can also accept demand deposits which
are treated as interest-free loans from the clients to the bank. and which are
guaranteed. On the assets side, it advances funds on a profit-and–loss sharing or a
debt-creating basis, in accordance with the principles of the Sharīah. It plays the
role of an investment manager for the owners of time deposits, usually called
investment deposits. In addition, equity holding as well as commodity and asset
trading constitute an integral part of Islamic banking operations. An Islamic bank
shares its net earnings with its depositors in a way that depends on the size and
date-to-maturity of each deposit. Depositors must be informed beforehand of the
formula used for sharing the net earnings with the bank.
