Advantages of Islamic Finance (Profit & Loss)

  • 1.       It assists in financial inclusion

The conventional banking system is based on paying interest at a pre-determined rate on deposits of money. As both payment and receipt of interest is prohibited by the Shariah law, Muslims generally abstain from banking. Bu using Islamic banking, financial inclusion can be promoted and a larger pool of saving s can be brought into the economy.
  • 2.       It promotes the principle of financial justice

Financial justice is a basic requirement for the functioning of Islamic finance products. Western or conventional financing looks forward to profit through interest payments and makes the beneficiary completely liable for any risk. Contrary to this, Islamic financing paves way for the sharing of net profit/loss and the risk involved in a proportional manner between the lender and the beneficiary. Therefore, if a financier is expecting a claim on profits of a project, it is necessary that he/she should also carry a proportional share of the loss of that project.
  • 3.       Encouraging stability in investments

In Islamic finance, investments are approached with a slower, insightful decision-making process, when compared to conventional finance. Companies whose financial practices and operations are too risky are usually kept away by Islamic financing companies. By performing intensive audits and analyses, Islamic finance promotes the reduction of risk and creates the space for greater investment stability.
  • 4.       Accelerating economic development

Islamic finance companies certainly have profit creation and growth as their objectives. For which, they choose to invest in businesses based on their potential for growth and success. Thus in the Islamic banking industry, each bank will invest in promising business ventures and attempt to out-perform its competitors, in order to attract more funds from its depositors. This will eventually result in a high return on investments both for the bank and the depositors. This is unlikely in a conventional bank, where depositors redeem returns on their deposits based on a pre-determined interest rate.

Distribution of the Profit in Mudarabah and Musharakah

Image
    Distribution of the Profit in Mudarabah It is necessary for the validity of Mudharabah that the parties agree, right at the beginning, on a definite proportion of the actual profit to which each of them is entitled. No particular proportion has been prescribed by the Shari’ah; rather, it has been left to their mutual consent. They can share profit in equal proportions for the rabb-ul-mal and the mudarib. However, they cannot allocate lump sum amount of profit for any party, nor can they determine the share of any party at a specific rate tied up with the capital. For example, if the capital is RM10000, they cannot agree on a condition that RM10000 out of the profit shall be the share of the mudarib, nor can they say that 20% of the capital shall be given to rabb-ul-mal. However, thet can agree that 40% of the actual profit shall go to the mudarib and 60%to the rabb-ul-mal or vice versa.   It is also allowed that different proportions are agreed in different situations.
