also commonly called Riba in Islamic discourse. Islamic banking also finds its roots in Islamic finance and all type of transactions are interest free and of risk sharing. The interest is prohibited in Islamic ways of banking as it is also obvious from Quran. In Quran, in Sura Al-Imran, Allah said that; O you who believe! Do not devour Riba multiplying it over and keep your duty to Allah that you may prosper (3:130). Same kind of prohibition regard fixed interest is also lead in Sura Al-Rum(39) , Al-Nisa(160-161) and Al-Baqarah(275-281) of Quran.

Riba and Gharar are illegal under Islamic law. Riba refers to fixed rate of interest. Gharar refers to speculation. Islamic banking shows dramatic improvements and developments in Pakistan. Islamic banking is taken as national policy and it is supported but there exist dual banking structure in the Muslim countries. Mostly the banks of conventional system are also opening their separate Islamic banking divisions and branches.

Riba or Interest
Riba literally means increase, addition, expansion or growth. It is however not every increase or growth, which is prohibited by Islam. In shariah, Riba technically refers to the premium that must be paid without any consideration.

Types Of Riba
According to jurists of Islam Riba have two types.

The organization of term interest dates back to 17th century with the emergence of banking system at global level. Interest means giving and/or taking of any excess amount in exchange of a loan or on debt. Hence, it carries the same meaning/ value as that of Riba is defend in the previous question. Further, it is narrated that the loan draws interest is Riba.

Riba in Quran

In the Holy Quran, Allah (SWT) says in Sura Al-Baqarah (2-279): . And if you repent, yours is your principal And what ever Riba you give so that it may increase in the wealth of the people, it does not increase with Allah. ( Sura Al-Rum 30:39) And because of their charging Riba while they were prohibited from it. ( Sura An-Nisa 4:161)

O you who believe! Be mindful of God and give up what remains of al-riba if you are believers. If you do not do so, then receive a declaration of war from God and his Messenger. But if you repent, you shall have your capital sums (ru`us al-amwal). You do not deal unjustly and you are not dealt with unjustly (2:278279)

Profit sharing modes can be used for short, medium and long-term project, financing, import financing, pre-shipment export financing and working capital financing transactions.

Is Islamic Banking Viable

Prepared By: Muneeb Waseem Ansari

Islamic banking is still in the stage of evolution. No one can disputes that there is a definite desire amongst Muslims savers to invest their savings in the venues which are permitted by the Shariah. Nevertheless, they must be provides with Halal returns on their investments. Islamic scholars and practical bankers took up this challenge and have made commendable progress in the last few decades in providing a number of such instruments. However, the concepts of Islamic banking and finance are still in their early stages of development and Islamic banking is an evolving reality for continuously testing and refining those concepts.

ISLAMIC BANKING AS AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH

Prepared By: Muneeb Waseem Ansari

37

One might wonder whether Islamic banking and finance is an alternative approach to modern banking. In fact, the banking business is no more than a possible means to satisfy the needs of society according to the prevailing conditions and circumstances. Those needs should always govern the means, not be its subject. The most important development in modern banking is the art of mobilizing funds for investment. It happened to be that the method of both collecting and using of funds was based in the West on interest paid and charged. In contrast, Islamic banking is a system that provides financing and attracts savings on the basis of profit/loss sharing. One may have to think positively of such a scheme. By waiving the interest factor, we find an alternative Prepared By: Muneeb Waseem Ansari 38 vehicle to provide financing on a different basis

For Muslims, this system of profit/loss sharing coincides with their belief in the prohibition of interest, and helps in mobilizing unused funds for investment and creating new job opportunities. As for non-Muslims, the Islamic banking system does not contradict their faith, while it provides the society with alternative ideas for venture capital and other tools of investment.
Prepared By: Muneeb Waseem Ansari 39

Mudarabah as a contract of participation between the provider of capital and the managing entrepreneur responds to normal human needs. An enterprising engineer living in the West, as an example, would welcome any possibility that enables him to be provided by venture capital to establish a new factory. This could be the case with many individuals of the same spirit. The ultimate test of such alternative is whether it is successful or not. It can be safely said that the idea of Islamic banking has been successful. It is, therefore, not surprising to find several international banking institutions started the establishment of Islamic units or windows for some of their customers. Islamic banking was partially practiced by some of the Western banks and financial institutions in Muneeb Waseem Ansari 40 Switzerland, U.K. Prepared andBy: the United States.

The establishment of City Islamic Investment Bank in Bahrain is the latest example for the possible adoption of the Islamic banking system by traditional bankers. Economists have proven that the wider is the freedom of choice the higher is the level of social welfare. In addition, wider choice implies greater respect of human rights. When an alternative concept such as Islamic banking is introduced, a new choice is open to the market, with obvious economic and social benefits. Introducing Islamic banking as a new choice has also further benefits related to the advantages it provides to many fund users. Commodity and service producers would certainly appreciate equal opportunities for obtaining capital based on the merits of their businesses
Prepared By: Muneeb Waseem Ansari 41

rather than on their personal creditworthiness alone. Those entrepreneurs who prefer to be self employed need ways to obtain financing other than borrowing. Islamic banking gives those pioneers such an opportunity on the basis of profit/loss sharing. In general, Islamic finance places more weight on the merit of the business to be financed, rather than the wealth of the fund user. As a result under this new banking alternative, a better distribution of credit may be achieved. Therefore, I would like to recommend strongly to the Western World that all obstacles remaining in the way of establishing Islamic banks in their countries be removed.

CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS

Prepared By: Muneeb Waseem Ansari

43

Last but not least, I would like to conclude with a word about the challenges facing Islamic banks and what prospects they may have. The biggest challenge Islamic banks have faced from their very beginning is how to narrow the gap between the Islamic banking model and its application; in other words, between theory and practice. Difficulties arise in this respect come from being relatively small in a traditional banking environment, having to rely on bankers trained in traditional banking, and attempting to balance the unquenchable enthusiasm on the side of depositors, with a limited supply of investment opportunities.

Prepared By: Muneeb Waseem Ansari

44

Islamic banks have been trying hard to meet those challenges through several means. The first is to work for a better understanding of the concepts upon which their operations are based. This has been a success to the extent that now traditional bankers are mostly cooperative and accommodating. Central bankers have also come forward with new ideas of better methods for supervision and control, to suit the operations of Islamic banks. Another means is to train their staff in this new form of banking and to press for more banking and financial innovations which are necessary for the new modes of finance. Fortunately, financial engineering has come in handy with bold and new ideas in finance which made the Islamic model so much more applicable. Innovations in this regard did Ansari not come exclusively Prepared By: Muneeb Waseem 45

Islamic banks. Surprisingly, financial markets produced some useful innovations, perhaps indicating that Islamic banking is an idea whose time has come. Nonetheless, many challenges still remain, not the least to the predominance of Murabaha (sale mode) in the operations of some Islamic banks, as well as the relative scarcity of short-term Islamic financial instruments. The prospects of Islamic banking and finance will depend extensively on the ability of Islamic banks to continue facing challenges with resourcefulness and creativity, in addition to being worthy of trust and understanding. I believe that competition, if allowed and maintained, not only within Islamic banks, but also between all banks whether Islamic or traditional, would insure a promising future for the By:whole.
