Islamic Banking

Islamic banking is based on Islamic principles that prohibit the imposition of interest (Usury) on loans and stipulate that the returns on money employed by borrowers be based on profits derived from the commercial risks borne by the lender. Therefore, the financial institution is based on the financial success of the client instead of receiving the calculated flow of funds according to market rates and according to Islamic law, financing related to investments and projects can be provided only in a manner that does not contradict Islamic principles. Therefore, Islamic finance is not included for projects related to alcohol, gambling houses, pork and its products.

Its price exceeds its original price. The other method used in this field is Mudarabah, which is based on the principle that whoever has more has the necessary skill to employ it productively.
