The practice of banking was of great necessity in all ages, and the
invention of Islamic banking permits a Muslim to take the
advantages of a bank, and to adhere with the Islamic Shariah as
well. The main difference between Islamic and non-Islamic
banking is that an Islamic banking system is an interest free
banking system, which emphasizes the prohibition of Riba -
interest. It’s the basic difference between the both banking
systems.
In Bangladesh:
Bangladesh is one of the largest Muslim countries
in the world. The people of this country are deeply committed to
Islamic way of life as enshrined in the Holy Qur'an and the
Sunnah. Many people in Bangladesh are not interested to involve
in banking as they offer interest. To provide banking facilities to
these Islamic minded people, Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited was
established in March 13, 1983, which started functioning with
effect from March 30, 1983.
Principles
Islamic banking has the same purpose as conventional banking
except that it operates in accordance with the rules of Shariah,
known as Fiqh al-Muamalat (Islamic rules on transactions). The
basic principle of Islamic banking is the sharing of profit and loss
and the prohibition of riba (usury). Common terms used in Islamic
banking include profit sharing (Mudharabah), safekeeping
(Wadiah), joint venture (Musharakah), cost plus (Murabahah), and
leasing (Ijarah).
