Islam allows freedom in economic activities with certain limitations to differentiate between Halaal & Haraam. Islamic finance is based on the principles and rules laid down by Islamic Shariah. In Islamic financing system there is greater return because there is a greater risk. Islamic financial institute invest and get the profit not the interest.
Introduction
Being a complete code of life Islam realizes importance of justice, equity and human welfare in society, It is not mere a relationship between believer and Allah, restricted to worship only but it deals and guides every aspect of human life. Justice and equity require a set of laws or ethical values, which everyone accepts with heart & soul and complies with loyally. The Islamic financial system promotes justice in a manner that on the one hand the financier has to share in the risk so as not to transfer the entire burden of losses (if any) to the entrepreneur/user of funds and the other is that an equitable share of financial resources mobilized by financial institutions should become available to the poor to eliminate /reduce poverty, inequalities of income and wealth by providing equal opportunities to active participation in economic activity.
