Islamic banking or Islamic finance or sharia-compliant finance is banking or financing activity that complies with sharia and its practical application through the development of Islamic economics. Some of the modes of Islamic banking/finance include Mudarabah(profit -sharing and loss-bearing), Wadiah (safe-keeping),Musharaka(joint venture),Murabahah(cost-plus) and ijara(leasing).Although Islamic finance contain many prohibitions-such as on consumption of alcohol, gambling, uncertainty, etc.-the belief that all forms of interest are riba and hence prohibited is the idea upon which it is based. Riba literally means, excess or addition, and has been translated as interest, usury, excess, increase or addition. The elimination of interest followed a gradual process in early Islam, culminating with a full-fledged Islamic economic system under caliph Umar.
In the twentieth century, Islamic revivalists/ Islamists/ activists worked to define all interest as riba, to enjoin Muslims to lend and borrow at Islamic banks that avoided fixed rates. By the 21st century this Islamic Banking movement had created institutions of interest free financial enterprise across the world. Loans are permitted in Islam if the interest that is paid is linked to the profit or loss obtained by the investment. The concept of profit acts as a symbol in Islam as equal sharing of profits, losses, and risks. The involvement of institutions, governments, and various conferences and studies on Islamic banking were instrumental in applying the application of theory to practice for the first interest-free banks. At the first international conference on Islamic Economics, “several hundred Muslim intellectuals, sharia scholars and economists unequivocally declared that all forms of interest were riba.
