“A conservative approach to risk and a close link between the financial sector and real assets has helped shield the sector from the worst of the credit crisis,” said. Brian Caplen, An editor of a London-based magazine

"Islamic banking isn't just for conservative or radical Muslims. It's mainstream business now, "That's why every bank wants a bigger piece of it." says Ross Mohamad Din, director of HSBC Amanah MalaysiaIslamic Banking: How we can move on to next phase?

How to move on?

Theory:


““O you who believe, Fear Allah and give up what remains of your O you who believe, Fear Allah and give up what remains of your demand for Interest, if you are indeed a believer. If you do not, then you demand for Interest, if you are indeed a believer. If you do not, then you are warned of the declaration of war from Allah and His Messenger; But are warned of the declaration of war from Allah and His Messenger; But if you turn back you shall have your principal: Deal not unjustly and you if you turn back you shall have your principal: Deal not unjustly and you shall not be dealt with unjustly.”shall not be dealt with unjustly.”

Al Baqarah 278 - 279 (Fourth Revelation)Al Baqarah 278 - 279 (Fourth Revelation)



1.1. From Hazrat Abu Hurayrah (RA), The Prophet, peace be on From Hazrat Abu Hurayrah (RA), The Prophet, peace be on him, said:him, said:

""Riba has seventy segments, the least serious being equivalent to a man committing adultery with his own mother.” (Ref: Ibn-e-Majah)

2. From Hazrat Jabir Ibn-e-Abdullah (RA): The Prophet may peace be on him, cursed the receiver and the payer of interest, the one who records it and the witnesses to the transaction and said; “They are all alike (in guilt).” Ref: (Muslim, Tirmidhi and Musnad Ahmed)

How to move on? Practice (Practical Steps):


Next Phase?:The minimum steps to go into next phase …

1. Perception Change: To build understanding in Islamic banking as Beyond Banking …various forums…more efficient socialization and educational program for public interest ….(all)

2. Businesses to take it in their TOP priorities list (Customer)

3. Feasible Regulatory Environment , addressing the IB challenges (Liquidity, Legal, Taxation, + ) on priority basis ..(Govt. /SBP)

4. Big banks to play role/think seriously… ..(Govt. /SBP)

5. Positioning, Differentiation and Branding, positioning the IB

as the most attractive one in country and abroad (IIFS) + Shariah +Customer

6. IB to be accessible for all kinds of people and all segments /PLS Based Products on assets side (IIFS +Customer)

7. HR Service quality: Professional +Religious touch (Staff)


Next Phase?...And….8. Unanimity of views of Religious

Scholars (RS)….for o the “products and services offered by

Islamic Banking”, o the prohibition of “Banking Interest” …

Shariah Doctor o the differences, if any, in terms Shariah

interpretation should remain within the circles of scholars….

9. CUSTOMERS’ total commitment for Islamic banking as

the only choice to bank with.. “Haq-ul-Yaqeen”


Unanimity of views…An example….The Question about MURABAHA


Murabaha ….The basic purpose of Murabahah Sale has been described in Fiqh books in these words: ال الذي الغبي الن البيع من النوع هذا الى ماسة والحاجةالذكي فعل يعتمد ان الى يحتاج التجارة في يهتدي

ربح وزيادة اشترى ما بمثل نفسه وتطيب المهتدي" the main purpose of (Murabahah) sale is to protect the innocent general consumer lacking expertise in the various items of trade from the wiles and stratagems of sharp traders.”

Usually there are three parties to a Murabahah transaction where the bank is involved:

1. The one who promise to buy (Customer)2. The Bank3. The vendor (supplier to the Bank)


3. Do we really want to move to next phase?
