Critics of Islamic banking argue, that how could Islamic banking work when interest (riba) is prohibited? Those in favour argue that Islamic banks can operate without interest. This is the contention of the paper. Islamic bank is a banking which operates without the norm of interest. However, the Muslim scholars have never seriously discussed the three basic questions. Riba, interest, are riba and interest synonymous. The most common application of riba is on monetary transaction relating to “loans” and “credits”. A unique feature of Islamic banking is its profit-and-loss sharing (PLS) paradigm, which is predominantly based on the mudarabah (profit-sharing) and musharaka (joint venture) concepts of Islamic contracting. However, Islamic banks are also criticized for not applying the principle of mudaraba in an acceptable manner. Where banks are eager to take part in profit-sharing but they have little tolerance for risk. Jaiz bank plc, the first Islamic bank in Nigeria, is a quoted public company owned by over 26,000 shareholders. Based on recommendations from Islamic Development Bank (IDB), which is also a shareholder of the bank, Jaiz Bank PLC had partnered with Islamic Bank of Bangladesh (IBBL). However, the Islamic Banks, generally, seem to attract a fraction of the business of financial transactions in any country where conventional banks operate. The challenge facing Islamic banks is the diversity of opinion among the Sharia scholars. Whether the particular practice or product, is Sharia compliant. The paper therefore, concludes that, by prohibition of riba, Islam wishes to establish an economic system where all forms of exploitation are eliminated. The difficulty to understand the prohibition comes from lack of appreciation of the whole complex of Islamic values.  Thus, the future of Islamic banks depends not only upon investing in new products but also upon the satisfying the faith of the stakeholders.

There is a different characteristic between Islamic banks and conventional banks, so Islamic banks must have performance measures based on Islamic values in them. This study aims to measure the performance of Islamic banks in three countries - Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Pakistan - using the Sharia Maqashid Index. Also, this study examined whether there were differences in Sharia Maqashid Islamic bank indexes in the three countries using the one-way ANOVA test. The results of the study, in general, showed that the Al-Arafah Islamic Bank of Bangladesh received the highest score, followed by Bank of BNIS and Bank of BRIS. Besides, the results of the study also showed that there were differences in performance.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to ascertain whether Islamic bank profitability is driven by same forces as those driving conventional banking in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Distinguished by its principles in conformity with sharia, Islamic banking is different from conventional banking, which is likely to affect profitability. Design/methodology/approach The paper builds on a dynamic panel data model to identify the banks’ specific determinants and the macroeconomic factors influencing the profitability of a large sample of 51 Islamic banks operating in the MENA region from 1994 to 2012. The system-generalized method of moment estimators are applied. Findings The findings reveal that profitability is positively affected by banks’ cost-effectiveness, asset quality and level of capitalization. The results also indicate that non-financing activities allow Islamic banks to earn higher profits. Islamic banks perform better in environments where the gross domestic product and investment are high. There is evidence of several elements of similarities between determinants of the profitability for Islamic and conventional banks. The inflation rate, however, is negatively associated with Islamic bank profitability. Practical Implications The authors conclude that profitability determinants did not differ significantly between Islamic and conventional banks. Many factors are deemed the same in explaining the profitability of conventional as well as Islamic banks. The findings reported in the current paper might be of interest for policy makers. It is recommended to better implement non-financing activities to improve Islamic bank profitability. Originality/value Unlike the previous empirical research, this empirical investigation assesses the issue whether Islamic banks profitability is influenced by same factors as conventional model. It enriches the literature in this regard by considering the specificities of Islamic banking to identify the determinants of profitability. Moreover, this study considers a large sample (51 Islamic banks) through a different selection of countries/banks than previous studies. In addition, the period of study considers the subprime crisis insofar it ranges from 1994 to 2012. Hence, this broader study allows the authors to draw more consistent conclusions.

The Relationship

<p><em>Islamic banking is based on profit and loss mechanism where the use of interest is prohibited.  Unlike conventional banks, these banks do not charge a specific rate of interest, rather provides financing in exchange for profit sharing.  However, there are studies claiming that, in practice, Islamic banking is same as conventional banking with regard to the use of interest. It is also claimed that, Islamic deposits are not interest-free, but are closely attached to conventional deposits.  On this background, the objective of this study is to examine the relationship between pricing in Islamic banks vis-à-vis conventional banks by taking the case of Bangladesh. We have used monthly data during the period of 2009-2013. The findings of the study showed that, there is no statistically significant difference between the monthly average lending rates of Islamic banks and conventional banks. However, there is significant difference between deposit rates. The existence of causal relationship was inconclusive, and requires further analysis.</em></p>

The Absolute

The central feature characterizing the financial Islamic system is the absolute prohibition of the payment and receipt of fixed interest in any transaction. Theoretically, Islamic Banking operates on the basis of Profit Loss Sharing (Mudaraba and Musharaka). In Lebanon the balance sheet of Islamic banks appear that, the percentage of PLS financing is very weak. The lack of profit and loss sharing (PLS) financing is an important problem affecting Islamic banks in Lebanon. The main objective of this research is to analyze problems faced by Islamic banks in Lebanon to use the PLS contract. The type of PLS contract raises a set of issues concerning the contractual relations between the Islamic bank and the clients. These issues may be addressed from the perspectives of Agency Theory, as we will do in this paper.

Rent Theory

Purpose – This paper aims to draw on the bank rent approach to evaluate the existing pattern of financing of Islamic banks and to propose a fairly new conceptualization of Islamic bank rent. Design/methodology/approach – The bank rent theory is adopted to generate the theoretical underpinnings of the issue. After that, empirical evidence from the banking sector of Bangladesh is used to support the arguments. Findings – Repeated transactions under murabaha are observed in the Islamic banking sector of Bangladesh. The asset-based financing gives the Bangladeshi Islamic banks relatively higher Islamic bank rent opportunity for protecting their “franchise value” as Shari’ah-compliant lenders, while responding to the periodic volatility in transaction costs of profit-and-loss sharing. Research limitations/implications – The bank rent approach suggests that the murabaha syndrome can be ironically justifiable. On the other hand, the current profit-and-loss sharing risk provides an idea of the difficulty in assuming the participatory financing with higher credit risk in practice. Islamic scholars and the regulatory authority need to design an appropriate financial architecture which can create different levels of rent opportunities for Islamic banks to avail the benefit from the variety of Islamic financing as declared by Islamic Shari’ah. Originality/value – This paper introduces a fairly new concept of “Islamic bank rent” to make sense of the murabaha syndrome. This approach also contributes to clarifying the unique risk and cost to be compensated with the spreads that Islamic banks are expected to earn. To draw empirical evidence, as far as it could be ascertained, the data of both Islamic banks and conventional banks with Islamic banking windows/branches are used for the first time.

At present Islamic banking is growing rapidly, along with these developments various types of Islamic Bank products are also growing, where product innovation is the key to Islamic banking to be more competitive and more rapidly developed in accordance with the needs of the community. Product development strategies are one aspect of a marketing strategy. Banking product development is an effort to increase customers by introducing new banking products. The strategy of developing banking products is an effort to increase the number of customers by developing or introducing new banking products. Innovation and creativity in product creation are one of the main keys in this strategy. In general, every Islamic bank in running its business has five operational principles, namely as follows: Principles of pure savings, the principle of profit sharing, the principle of buying and selling, the principle of rent, and the principle of service (fee). Product development strategies are part of a corporate strategy. Islamic banks provide many options for the community to obtain financing that does not only depend on one type of bank with its products, if Islamic banks are able to read the potential of the region and the needs of the population is owned by Islamic banking, the development of Islamic banking products is a necessity for Islamic banks those in the region to be able to answer the needs of the community. This condition can occur can not be separated from the support of DPS who must be active and innovative and be with each bank in the area. As well as product marketing strategies must be carried out by conducting strategic alliances with mass media (radio, television and print media) and event organizers in the form of exhibitions (expo), so that these products are widely known and directly felt by the public at large. In certain expos such as people can directly register for sharia credit cards or make financing requests for the purchase of sharia products that are on display. Through this strategy Islamic banks can get a lot of success, both in increasing portfolios and marketing new products. Keywords: Product Development Strategy, Indonesia Shariah Bank
