Why Islamic Finance

Financial inclusions: To cater for the unbanked Muslims craving for Riba free facilities and in general Shari’ah compliant products and services. However, Islamic microfinance is not meant for Muslims only but all people regardless of their religious affiliations.

Principles of shariah Islamic Banking

Islamic Banking is a system of banking that operates in accordance with the rules of Shari’ah (Islamic Commercial Law).

One of the most important characteristics of Islamic financing is that it is an asset-backed financing.

Prohibition of Riba:

Riba in banking terms can be defined as “any stipulated additional amount over the principal in a transaction of loan or debt.” It is prohibited in Islam for a lender to impose an excess of what he has lent upon repayment.

Risk Sharing:

The provider of capital and the entrepreneur share business risks in return for a share of profits. The risks are associated with the profit and loss distribution of the asset/investment.

Prohibition of speculative (Gharar):

The system discourages hoarding and prohibits transactions featuring extreme uncertainty and risks.

Sanctity of contracts:

Islam upholds contractual obligations and the disclosure of information as a sacred duty. This feature is intended to reduce the risk of asymmetric information and moral hazards.

FCL Islamic Finance is about relationship as it is about enabling your business to succeed
