Allah is the Sustainer



Allah, the Almighty God of universe, is the sustainer and provider.



Allah provides livelihood and subsistence to all of His creatures in the universe.



Every thing has been created by God for service of man.



Man should exploit these resources and things in lawful manner to earn his subsistence without violating the rights of others.

2.

God is real owner of every thing and man is merely a trustee



Everything in the universe belongs to Allah.



The rights given to man are very limited, the real position of man being that of a trustee and a beneficiary.

Every thing created for service and use of man



Many of the things created by God in the earth are of benefit to man directly or indirectly.



Animals, plants, minerals, metals, water, air, fire, land, river, mountains, sea, and even sun, moon, stars, day and night, etc. are all for service to man.

4.

Concept of Halal and Haram



Islam has introduced concept of Halal (lawful) and Haram (unlawful) in its economic system.



Certain means of earning livelihood and wealth have been declared unlawful such as interest, bribery, gambling and games of chance, speculation



Unlawful means of earning are strictly forbidden and a follower of Islam is permitted to earn through lawful and fair means.



In the field of consumption certain items of food are unlawful such as dead animals, blood, swine flesh and animals slaughtered in the name other than that of Allah.



Expenses on certain items such as drinks, narcotics, debauchery, prostitution, pornography, things that promote obscenity and vulgarity, lotteries and gambling are strictly inadmissible.

The system of sadaqat ensures equitable distribution of wealth in the Muslim community.

ISLAMIC ECONOMY AND INTEREST-FREE BANKING 







Basically islam gives key importance to justice benevolence and cooperation in mutual relations. It absolutely forbids to take advantage of the helpless circumstances of another person Islam prescribes important and practical steps to prevent concentration and promote circulation It orders its followers to extend interest-free loans to needy persons.

NEED FOR INTEREST-FREE BANKING A modern developed economy is unthinkable without today’s banking system. It is necessary to replace it with a new system.

REASONS 

A clear and direct answer is modern banking system is based on Riba(interest) and islam forbids interest.



Modern banking system gives rise to injustice oppression, waste of resources and inequitable distribution of wealth.

BASIS OF ISLAMIC BANKING

1) Profit and loss shirakah (partnership) In profit and loss partnership the rate of profit fluctuates and depends on efficiency. 

This shirakah(partnership) may be of many kinds.



Partnership between two persons or investment companies, banks and other institutions may carry on their business on profit and loss shirakah basis.

MODARBA In modarba there are two parties, 1)

Capital

2)

Labour



If modarba business earns profit both capital and labour share in profit.



If modarba business results in loss of money, the entire amount of loss shall be borne by the capitalist.

The success of interest free banking depends on a high level of integrity and honest dealing because without these the banking system will fail.

DEFINITION OF INTEREST

“Interest is the price which is paid other than the price of loan or capital.” Holy Quran uses the word RIBA to denote interest. Riba means increase, growth, addition, raise or excess. Allah says in Holy Quran: “Allah deprives interest of all blessings and develops charity.”
