The Challenge<br />

It is well known that Islam rejects the<br />

<strong>in</strong>stitution of riba (<strong>in</strong>terest) and gharar<br />

(as <strong>in</strong> excessive uncerta<strong>in</strong>ty) and maysir<br />

(gambl<strong>in</strong>g) and considers these as unjust<br />

and exploitative. These have been abstract<br />

and highly profound concepts that are<br />

be<strong>in</strong>g translated <strong>in</strong>to concrete and operative<br />

<strong>in</strong>struments and laws offer<strong>in</strong>g an alternative<br />

f<strong>in</strong>ancial system. It is important to study all<br />

these concepts <strong>in</strong> depth and also implement<br />

them fully and ungrudg<strong>in</strong>gly <strong>in</strong> all f<strong>in</strong>ancial<br />

deal<strong>in</strong>gs.<br />

For your own sake, accept anyth<strong>in</strong>g good<br />

wherever you f<strong>in</strong>d it. Do not stick to<br />

stereotyped philosophies.<br />

Muazzam Ali, Founder & Chairman IIBI<br />

Islamic <strong>in</strong>surance, takaful, is emerg<strong>in</strong>g as a<br />

viable alternative to conventional <strong>in</strong>surance as<br />

it provides <strong>in</strong>surance coverage for commercial<br />

risks as well as a wide range of family and<br />

sav<strong>in</strong>gs products that are competitive and more<br />

importantly compliant with Shari’ah pr<strong>in</strong>ciples.<br />

It offers attraction to non-Muslim <strong>in</strong>vestors due to<br />

its ethical values. <strong>Takaful</strong> has greater potential<br />

to grow alongside Islamic bank<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

F<strong>in</strong>ally ……<br />

It goes without say<strong>in</strong>g that <strong>in</strong> any<br />

organisation, f<strong>in</strong>ancial or otherwise, the<br />

human factor is the most important by far.<br />

At IIBI we are very proud to be contribut<strong>in</strong>g<br />

to the cont<strong>in</strong>u<strong>in</strong>g development of staff to<br />

give them the very best understand<strong>in</strong>g and<br />

knowledge <strong>in</strong> key areas of operations <strong>in</strong><br />
