This chapter focuses on the murabaha structure, which is probably the most commonly used Islamic finance structure in modern Islamic banking. The simplicity of structure in its current application has promoted its use as a popular and flexible Islamic financing instrument. Indeed, the use of the murabaha has been extended beyond a widespread application as a standalone instrument to a composite component of Sukuk issuance in modern application. The murabaha contract is understood within the Islamic tradition to have a pre-Islamic origin evidenced in pre-Islamic literature and characterized as a fiduciary contract with the objective to assist less knowledgeable buyers in the determination of the fair price of unfamiliar goods. Today, murabaha is commonly used as a mode of finance, in its variant structures, for the acquisition of assets, commodities, and goods in the ordinary course of trade. The structure is also used as a corporate finance tool for working capital and liquidity management. The chapter then considers commodity murabaha (tawarruq) and its application.

<p><em>This article aims at explaining the theory of mudharabah in Islamic Sharia and its application in Islamic banking and the development of the Islamic economy in Indonesia. This study is based on field research. The method of analysis of the data used is the analysis of the content on the messages received from mudharabah in Islamic law and its application in Islamic banks and the development of the Islamic economy. The result of this research is that mudharabah is one of the most important and oldest forms of investment of funds in the Islamic Sharia. The fuqaha have agreed on the legality of mudharabah, and the evidence of legality, from the al-Qur’an, Sunnah, Ijma’, and Qiyas. The mudharabah formula in Islamic banks came as a legitimate alternative to traditional financing operations. It is one of the most important forms of Islamic finance and is thought to have been the cause of Islamic banks, which are said to be the Islamic financing formula. In Islamic banks, mudharabah is divided into absolute mudharabah and restricted mudharabah. The economic concept of mudharabah in the economic literature goes to the stock exchange and its predictions of market fluctuations. The investor may have to pay the price differentials in the case of lower prices. </em></p>

Islamic banking in their activity base on Islamic principles that is agreement regulation on Islamic Law between Bank and others to saving and or financing an activity or business which suit Islamic role. There are several forms of financing, such as financing on sharing profit principle (mudharabah), financing on participation principle (musyarakah), transaction goods principle which get profit (murabaha), financing capital goods on rent principle without choice (ijarah), or with transfer authority over the rent goods from bank to others (ijarah wa iqtina). Furthermore, development of Islamic banking either in Indonesia or Malaysia must be followed with new law and regulation from their government, especially for rules on taxation over transaction on Islamic banking. This is critical because there are different interpretation and argumentation between practitioners of Islamic banking and the government about the subject of Value Added Tax on murabaha transaction. This research used a qualitative approach, using literature study, which emphasizes books as an object and field study with collecting data by interviewing and also using secondary data. As a result, both Indonesia and Malaysia has undergone essential steps to provide Islamic finance with appropriate banking and tax regulations that have succeeded in supporting the Islamic financial system.

Islamic banking is a banking system that is based on the principles of sharia or Islamic law. The principles of Islamic finance forbid interest - this is commonly known as riba - charity (zakat), forbid high risk (gharar), forbid some transactions like gambling, and are based on PLS (Profit-Loss Share). The most important concept is that both charging and receiving interest are strictly forbidden; money may not generate profits. Islamic banks have largely survived the global economic crisis intact and they offer a safer operation than conventional banks. CAMEL analysis is a supervisory rating system to classify a bank's overall condition according to Capital (C), Assets (A), Management (M), Earnings (E) and Liquidity (L). In the analysis a variety of indicators were calculated based on data from the annual reports. The results of the four banks were averaged separately, then classified (1 = good, 2 = adequate, 3 = satisfactory, 4 = acceptable, 5 = unacceptable) according to the desired criteria, the changes over the years and the relative values of the four banks.

The problem of Islamic economics is also increasingly complex with the large number of banks. To meet the needs of transactions, banks have products that are offered to the public. In accordance with the function of the bank, namely collecting and distributing funds to the public. The purpose of channeling funds by Islamic banks is to support the implementation of development, improve justice, togetherness and equal distribution of people's welfare. This paper will answer what is the meaning of al-mashaqqah tajlib al-taysir and how do the Implications of al-mashaqqah tajlib al-taysir in the development of Islamic economy? The result of research shows that the meaning of the rule of al-mashaqqah tajlib al-taysir is the difficulty of bringing convenience. The point is that if implementing a provision of shara' mukallaf faces obstacles in the form of difficulties and limitations that exceed the limits of reasonable capabilities, then the difficulty automatically creates relief provisions. In other words, if we find difficulty in carrying out something that is to be sharia, then the difficulty becomes a justifiable cause to facilitate in carrying out something that is to be provision of sharia, so that we can continue to run the sharia of Allah easily. The implications raised by the rules of al-mashaqqah tajlib al-taysir are the determination of the law of Islamic financial institutions. This impact is seen when Islamic law allows transactions in Islamic banking financial institutions, so that the community will easily meet the needs by transacting with Islamic banking through contracts that have been agreed upon. Keywords: al-Mashaqqah Tajlib al-Taysir, Islamic Economic Development

Basic Calculus

The history of Islam is inextricably connected to a celebrated history of trade and commerce which distinguishes it amongst monotheistic faiths. The modern incarnation of Islamic trade finance, however, bears only rudimentary similarity to the trade practices of old. Modern Islamic trade finance is devised to replicate conventional trade practices so that the barter-like immediacy of the Islamic contract of sale has been replaced with promissory attributes (wa’d). Yet Islamic law (sharia) has shown itself to be fully capable of adapting to modern trade practices so long as its major principles remain intact. The introduction of blockchain and smart contracts for Islamic trade finance does not change this basic calculus and yet these technologies promise to revolutionise Islamic trade practices in a way that compels the industry to operate in closer keeping with its commercial principles. Paradoxically, these technologies require substantive changes in the way in which Islamic trade finance is practiced, helping the industry to overcome its attachment to legal artifice (hiyal). Using comparative law methodology, this chapter briefly examines a short history of trade and commerce in the Islamic tradition, followed by the development of modern Islamic finance. It addresses the principles of Islamic commercial law as the basis for understanding the murabaha contract for trade finance, followed by an analysis of the legal and sharia-related issues that English courts have dealt with in the practice of Islamic trade finance. Finally, the chapter considers the transformative capacity of blockchain and smart contracts for Islamic trade finance, highlighting prominent legal and sharia-related issues that compel the industry to transform its trade practices markedly.

Model Determination

Islamic banking and conventional banking has same aim in the financial activity which is to gain profit. Profit of Islamic finance/banking in Malaysia is based on the profit rate, while for conventional banking based on interest rate. However, both profit rate and interest rate are determined based on the same reference rate, namely base rate (BR). The determination of the components contained in the BR such as benchmark cost of funds and the statutory reserve requirement (SRR) found that there is non-compliance with the Shariah perspective because this components directly proportional to the overnight policy rate (OPR). Therefore, an alternative formula for the profit rate was built which is known as the base profit rate (BPR). Form BPR model, determination of the profit based on compounding theory. Thus, construction of BPR formula is based on the principles that are much more Shariah compliant.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the practice of bay’ ‘inah contract in personal and home financing products by some Islamic Finance Institutions (IFIs) and examine the differences in the selection of contracts in banking products amongst IFIs mainly involving personal financing. The study will also propose a solution to the problem of differences and simultaneously standardise personal financing contracts in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach The methodology of this study is qualitative, in which the data are collected through library research and field studies. The library research is done by examining books of usul al-fiqh (principles of Islamic jurisprudence), mura’aht al-khilaf, maqasid shariah (objectives of Islamic law) articles, statutes and related circulars, while field studies are conducted in an unstructured interview method with some members of Shariah Advisory Council (SAC) and academicians from Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), IFIs and public university. Findings The findings show that there is a difference in views amongst SAC members in IFIs on bay’ ‘inah contract that effects the differences in the execution of such contract in banking applications. The study found that the bay’ ‘inah contract was non Shariah (Islamic law) compliant based on Shariah’s arguments and the opinion of the majority of past and present Islamic scholars. The study found that the BNM’s SAC did not allow the bay’ ‘inah contract to be practiced in personal and home financing products. Hence, this study proposes standardisation steps based on differences in the problems studied. The study also suggested that the SAC of BNM make improvements and updates on its solution regarding the bay’ ‘inah contract so that it is not misunderstood especially amongst IFIs. Research limitations/implications The study is only looking at one case study, which is the bay’ ‘inah contract practiced by the IFIs in Malaysia. Practical implications This study proposes the standardisation of personal financing products practiced by the IFIs. The results of this study can reduce Sharīʿah non-compliance products in the market. The results of this study have gained a deep understanding of the solution of bay’ ‘inah contract made by the SAC of BNM. The findings also reduce the conflict between Shariah scholars locally and internationally and can restore the image of Islamic banking in Malaysia from engaging with controversy products or contracts. Social implications The confidence of the public in Islamic banking is increasing as there is no contractual engagement with serious controversial issues and contracts similar to the concept of riba and hilah (trick) that is prohibited by Islamic law in IFIs. Originality/value This study analyses the differences of fatwa (a ruling on the point of Islamic law) about bay’ ‘inah contract decided by some SACs of IFI based on the discipline of usul al-fiqh. The study found that the bay’ ‘inah contract is not allowed by Islamic law. The study has proposed the standardisation of the fatwa differences based on the concept of mura’aht al-khilaf and the concept of standardisation in Islamic finance and to standardise personal financing products amongst IFIs in Malaysia.
