Islamic finance is a system of financial activity that follows Sharia (Islamic law). Its two defining principles are: no charging or paying of riba (interest), and no investment in businesses that are considered haram (forbidden) — such as alcohol, gambling, or weapons.
Why Does It Matter?
For millions of Muslims in India, conventional loans that charge interest create a moral dilemma. Islamic finance resolves this by structuring deals as profit-and-loss sharing or cost-plus financing rather than an interest-bearing loan.
Common Islamic Finance Structures
- Murabaha — The financier buys an asset and sells it to the customer at a pre-agreed profit margin. No interest is charged; the profit is fixed upfront.
- Ijara — Similar to a lease. The financier purchases an asset and leases it to the customer for a defined period.
- Musharaka — A joint venture where both parties share profits and losses proportionate to their investment.
- Mudaraba — One party provides capital; the other provides expertise and labor. Profits are shared; losses fall on the capital provider.
