2.1 INTRODUCTION TO ISLAMIC BANKING
2.1.1 Islamic FinanceIslamic finance was practiced predominantly in the Muslim world throughout the middle Ages, fostering trade and business activities with development of credit. In Spain and the Mediterranean and Baltic states , Islamic merchants became indispensable middleman for trading activities. In fact European financier and businessmen later adopted many concepts, techniques, and instruments of Islamic finance. The financial system is founded on the absolute prohibition of the payment or receipt of any predetermined. Granted rate of return .this closes the door to the concept of interest and precludes the use of debt- based instrument. The system encourages risk sharing promotes entrepreneurship, discourages speculative behavior, and emphasizes the sanctity of contracts.
2.1.2 The Islamic Economic System
One of the forms of capitalism, which has been flourishing in non Islamic societies, is the interest based investment. There are normally two participants in such transaction. One is the investor who provides capital on loan and other manager who run the business. The investor has no concern whether the business run in to profit or loss he automatically get interest.
2.1.3 Riba
Definition of Riba
The word Riba means excess, increase or addition, which correctly interpreted according to Shariah terminology, implies any excess compensation without due consideration . (This definition of Riba is derived from Quran and is unanimously accepted by all Islamic scholars)
2.1.3.1 TYPES OF RIBA
There are two types of Riba . 1. Riba An Nasiyah 2 .Riba Al Fadl
1. Riba An Nasiyah: Defined as excess, which result from predetermined interest which
a lender receives over and above the principle (Ras ul Maal).
2. Riba Al Fadl: Defined as excess compensation without any consideration resulting
from a sale of goods.
2.1.4 Commercial Interest And Usury:
In 17th century two new technical terms of interest emerged after the established of
banking system.
• Tijarti Sood :
Interest paid on loan taken for productive &profitable purposes.
• Sarfi Sood :
Interest paid on loan taken for personal need and expenses.
2.1.5 Islamic banking:
The interest free system envisages the gainful use of one’s saving with other on the basis of profit and loss sharing in a defined manner. Effective from Jan 01, 1981, the Nationalized commercial banks and now all other commercial banks in Pakistan have introduced the profit and loss sharing (PLS) Deposit Scheme features of which as under .
• PLS- Saving Accounts
• PLS Term Deposit Accounts
2.1.6 Modes of Islamic Banking
MURABAHALiterally it means a sale on mutually agreed profit. Technically, it is a contract of sale in which the seller declares his cost and profit. Islamic banks have adopted this as a mode of financing. As a financing technique, it involves a request by the client to the bank to purchase certain goods for him. The bank does that for a definite profit over the cost, which is stipulated in advance.
IJARAH
Ijarah is a contract of a known and proposed usufruct against a specified and lawful return or consideration for the service or return for the benefit proposed to be taken, or for the effort or work proposed to be expended. In other words, Ijarah or leasing is the transfer of usufruct for a consideration which is rent in case of hiring of assets or things and wage in case of hiring of persons.
IJARAH-WAL-IQTINA
A contract under which an Islamic bank provides equipment, building or other assets to the client against an agreed rental together with a unilateral undertaking by the bank or the client that at the end of the lease period, the ownership in the asset would be transferred to the lessee. The undertaking or the promise does not become an integral part of the lease contract to make it conditional. The rentals as well as the purchase price are fixed in such manner that the bank gets back its principal sum alongwith with profit over the period of lease.
MUSAWAMAH
Musawamah is a general and regular kind of sale in which price of the commodity to be traded is bargained between seller and the buyer without any reference to the price paid or cost incurred by the former. Thus, it is different from Murabaha in respect of pricing formula. Unlike Murabaha, seller in Musawamah is not obliged to reveal his cost. Both the parties negotiate on the price. All other conditions relevant to Murabaha are valid for Musawamah as well. Musawamah can be used where the seller is not in a position to ascertain precisely the costs of commodities that he is offering to sell.
ISTISNA_A
payment in advance and future delivery or a future payment and future delivery. Istisna’a can be used for providing the facility of financing the manufacture or construction of houses, plants, projects and building of bridges, roads and highways. BAI MUAJJAL
Literally it means a credit sale. Technically, it is a financing technique adopted by Islamic banks that takes the form of Murabaha Muajjal. It is a contract in which the bank earns a profit margin on his purchase price and allows the buyer to pay the price of the commodity at a future date in a lump sum or in installments. It has to expressly mention cost of the commodity and the margin of profit is mutually agreed. The price fixed for the commodity in such a transaction can be the same as the spot price or higher or lower than the spot price.
MUDARABAH
A form of partnership where one party provides the funds while the other provides expertise and management. The latter is referred to as the Mudarib. Any profits accrued are shared between the two parties on a pre-agreed basis, while loss is borne only by the provider of the capital.
MUSHARAKAH
Musharakah means a relationship established under a contract by the mutual consent of the parties for sharing of profits and losses in the joint business. It is an agreement under which the Islamic bank provides funds, which are mixed with the funds of the business enterprise and others. All providers of capital are entitled to participate in management, but not necessarily required to do so. The profit is distributed among the partners in pre-agreed ratios, while the loss is borne by each partner strictly in proportion to respective capital contributions.
BAI SALAM: Salam means 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. The objects of this sale are goods and cannot be gold, silver or currencies. Barring this, Bai?Salam covers almost everything, which is capable of being definitely described as to quantity, quality and workmanship.
