Takaful and Insurance Twins but not identical?
Insurance in Islam • Providing protection is encouraged • Elements of uncertainty (gharar) in the contract and usury (riba) in its operations made it not in line with Islamic law
Islamic Insurance • Collectively providing protection • Modus operandi within the parameters of Islamic law
Insurance in Islam • Islam is not only a religion, it is also a belief • In Islam, law and religion, law and morals, and law and so-called “church” are inseparable (Gibb, Modern Trends in Islamic Law, p.87)
Commercial Insurance isprohibited • International Islamic Fiqh Academy’s resolution 9 (2/9)
Takaful The difference with Insurance is only visible from Islamic perspective.
Takaful The risks that Takaful companies managed are no different from those risks taken by conventional insurance companies.
Takaful • It is the duty, responsibility and accountability of Takaful operators to ensure that their entire business operations (including Retakaful arrangements) are Shariah compliant • Takaful operators must refrain from invoking the doctrine of necessity so easily
Insure the Insurer It can be liken as the suspensions of a car; the road remains bumpy but the jerks experienced by the driver is reduced.
