...ISLAMIC BANKING INDUSTRY Course Title Instructor Institution City and State Date Abstract Islamic banking is on a steep rise in western countries. The increase is due to the management and the demand of Islamic financial products from both the Muslim and the non-Muslim residents in the United Kingdom. Another contributor to the increase in Islamic financing is the fact that the opponents are slowly joining and investing in the Islamic financial products due to their high demand. The United Kingdom has emerged to be the core of Islamic banking for over thirty years now. The reason behind the tremendous performance in the Islamic banking industry is the fact the Islamic population is greatly increasing offering ready market for the financial products. The purpose of this paper is to examine in details the major contributors to the expanding Islamic banking industry as well as the major setbacks that face the Islamic banking industry mostly in the United Kingdom. The findings were collected from random questionnaires given and also interview conducted on four major groups which are; Islamic banking staff, the Islamic banking competitors, the clients and also the non-clients. Background The paper presents the general background of the Islamic banking industry in the United Kingdom as well as the challenges. The Islamic banking started as a result of the Egyptians’ Mit Shamir, who opted to share profits and losses back in the year 1963. After three years of operation...

...this research is to find out if Islamic Banking is a better alternative to the Western, Conventional Banking. The information provided will reveal various Islamic Banking principles that would have prevented previous major economic crises and if applied globally today could prevent a major economic collapse. Islamic Banking is banking system based on Shari'a (Islamic) Law on which it developed its unique characteristics that will be discussed in this paper. Shari'a Law does not allow the use of Interest (Riba), trading in financial risk, and investing in businesses that are considered unlawful according to the Quraan and Islamic scholars. Shari'a law in Islamic Banking is meant to promote economic and development through the means of disciplined investing, fair risk sharing, and profit or loss sharing (Warde, 2000). The literature that will be examined in this paper will show that Islamic Banking is a good alternative to the current global banking system, however, it will be near impossible to revamp the existing banking system and replace it with Islamic Banking because it goes against many of the core principles of conventional banking that the global economy is built on which has been around for decades. Brief History The main goal of Islamic banks was to promote social and economical welfare in society through guiding investors and offering financial assistance to businesses by engaging in profit sharing transactions (Warde, 2000). Islamic banks were thought of as more...

In general, the term Islamic banking is not only typically based on evading internet-based transactions that are strictly prohibited under the law of Shariah, but also discards any sort of unsocial or unethical practices (Ahmed, 2011). With this concern, it can be affirmed that Islamic banking is regarded as the procedure of transforming predictable money lending into transactions that are fundamentally based upon real as well as tangible services (El-Gamal, 2006). This banking system, if...

...ISLAMIC BANKING SYSTEM & PRODUCTS Name Course Instructor Institution Date Islamic banking Introduction Over the past decades, Islamic banking has expanded into a distinctive and fast growing competitive substitute to conventional banking in many countries. Despite the rapid expansion of the Islamic banking system in recent years, little is however understood of how it differs from conventional banking systems, especially in the non Muslim world. Although Islamic banking works in accordance with the Islamic laws (shariah), in other countries, they are allowed to operate incomparably with the conventional banks that are interest based. The desire of Muslim communities to reorganize their social economic activities, and revival of financial institutions such as Zakah on an interest free basis can be said to be the main drivers to the development of Islamic baking over the past (Wilson, 1994: 110). Nevertheless, Islamic banking is not a religious product as it may insinuate, but it can rather be understood as a series of growing financial products that are developed with the aim of meeting the requirements of Islamic culture and its people (Sole, J. A., 2007: 6). Thus theses systems have developed so as to enable Muslims to invest savings and equally raise finance without compromising their religious and ethical practices. In order to comprehend the fundamental principles of operation of the Islamic banking system, it is thus necessary to understand what it is. There is...

...I. History of Islamic Banking in Malaysia Malaysia started Islamic banking in early 1980’s. Islamic Banking is especially true for Muslim world where currently Islamic banking strides at two separate fronts. At one side, efforts are also underway to convert the entire financial systems in accordance to Islamic laws (Shariah). At the other side, separate Islamic banks are allowed to operate in parallel to conventional interest based banks. Malaysia opted for the alternative gradual way of developing and implementing Islamic banking system. 1.1 Origin of Islamic Banking in Malaysia The roots of Islamic Banking in Malaysia should go back to 1963 when the government established Tabung Haji or Pilgrims Management and Fund Board. The organisatio was established to invest the savings of the local Muslims in interest free places, who want to carry out pilgrim (Haji). Tabung Haji utilizes Mudarabah (profit and loss sharing), Musharikah (joint venture) and Ijara (leasing) modes of financing for investment under the guidance of National Fatawah Committee of Malaysia. The first call for separate Islamic bank was made in 1980, in a seminar held in the National University of Malaysia. The members who attend had passed a decision requesting the government to create a special law to setup an Islamic bank in the country. Thereafter, the government had set up a National Steering Committee in 1981 to study legal, religious and operational aspects of organized an Islamic bank. The committee...

...Introduction Corporate governance refers to the method by which a corporation is directed, administered or controlled. It includes the laws and customs affecting that direction, as well as the goals for which it is governed. Corporate governance mechanisms and controls are designed to reduce the inefficiencies that arise from moral hazard and adverse selection. Corporate governance is also viewed as a process of monitoring performance by applying appropriate counter-measures and dealing with concepts such as transparency, integrity and accountability. Corporate governance requires corporations to exercise immense accountability to shareholders and the public, and also monitors the management of organisations in running their businesses. Corporate governance is normally divided into two categories, that is, self and statutory. Self-regulation involves aspects of corporate governance that are difficult to legislate. The issues in this category involve the human element, ie the independence of the board of directors, the relationship with the management and appraisal of the director’s performance. Statutory regulation, on the other hand, is the framework of corporate governance that can be explained in legal terms. The legislative and regulatory rules include: 1. Duties, obligations, rights and liabilities of directors, controlling shareholders and company officers. 2. Disclosure and transparency. Today, good corporate governance is considered vital as it promotes morality...

...Journal of Islamic Banking and Finance Vol. 2, No. 1; March 2014 23 Islamic Banking Scenario of Bangladesh Salahuddin Yousuf1 Md. Ariful Islam2 Md. Rayhan Islam1 Abstract With an aim to explore the current Islamic banking scenario of Bangladesh, this study examines the key concepts of Islamic banking and its history in the world and in Bangladesh as well. This secondary data based research meets its objectives of reviewing relevant concepts, history and current performance of the Islamic banks of Bangladesh through both qualitative and quantitative approaches. From the establishment of first Islamic bank in 1983, this country has currently eight Islamic banks. Except one individual bank (ICBIBL), most of the Islamic banks show remarkable growth in their profitability in the last decade. One reason behind this consistent negative figure in profitability of this bank is the frequent change of ownership. But overall significant contribution of the Islamic banks in the banking industry is visible from the research. This paper provides up-to-date scenario of the Islamic banking in Bangladesh. Keywords: Islamic Banking, Riba, Performance, Banking Industry JEL-classification: E44 G10 G21 1. Introduction Islamic banking and finance is a creation of modern age.
