Ultimate Purpose

The ultimate purpose of Sharia law is to protect the welfare of humans by bringing benefits for them and preventing harms from them. The jurists agree that the evidence of maslahah is the basis on which the provisions of financial and banking transactions are based regardless of their difference of opinions in terms of its conditions. The reality of Islamic banking transactions and the complexity of many of its issues make the existence of clear evidence from the Quran and Sunnah difficult, which necessitates for the researchers to make additional efforts in this field, and conduct ijtihad to use the evidence of maslahah with its legal conditions as a way to reveal the Shari`ah rulings by following the Companions and righteous scholars during their time. Therefore, the research will deal with the concept of maslahah and some issues related to considering it in financing with al-Qarḍ al-Ḥasan in the Islamic banks, and opinions of scholars about it. In addition, it explains the procedures of granting al-Qarḍ al-Ḥasan at Al Baraka Islamic Bank in Algeria and highlights the need of the Algerian youth to obtain al-Qarḍ al-Ḥasan which will be investigated through the distribution of questionnaires among them. The research follows the inductive approach to extrapolate the scholars' opinions, and analytic approach to analyze their views, and analyze the results of the questionnaires about al-Qarḍ al-Ḥasan. The research concludes that the Shari`ah ruling of some issues of al-Qarḍ al-Ḥasan is based on evidence of maslahah including all of its types which are considered, canceled and silenced ones.

This article describes how e-marketing is increasingly gaining interest within Islamic businesses. It is important to consider the extent to which it fits comfortably within principle notions of Islam and Sharia law. An Islamic business should ensure that its e-marketing strategy must be devoid of any contentious or exaggerated claims and there must be no excessive risk. As marketing practices include accentuating the benefits and features of products and services, and downplaying the negative attributes which potentially could lead to a consumer making an informed decision based on this unbalanced presentation. Arguably, this presents a form of risk that may be at odds with the fundamental tenets of Islam. This article presents a case-study of a large bank in Kuwait to identify how e-Marketing can be implemented more effectively to attract new customers and retain the existing ones by critically evaluating the viability of e-marketing strategies for promoting Islamic banking. A set of recommendations are also provided to support all Islamic Banks in the development of an e-marketing strategy.

Even though Islamic banking through its programs has socialized sharia products to the general public, there are still some people who do not understand a number of sharia products, even though when examined about the benefits, all Islamic products certainly have their respective functions and roles in the economic life of the people. In connection with it, the products of the Islamic bank does not escape the problems. In practice, there are findings that might reduce the level of public interest if allowed to continue without the actions of Islamic banks. In addition, even in a sharia perspective, it is necessary to review how the contract should be implemented so that it does not harm both parties, both the bank and the customer. The article intends to examine more deeply about one of the sharia products, namely wadi>’ah (safekeeping services). This product is a deposit fund service where depositors can take the funds at any time, where the bank is not obliged but is allowed to give bonuses to customers. In this paper, the author tries to trace the wadi>’ah contract and its application in Islamic banking and tries to analyze the basis agreed upon by the National Sharia Board (DSN). Based on the literature review and the application of wadi>’ah in Islamic banking, the authors conclude for a while that there is nothing that shows a discrepancy with Islamic principles. However, in practice, it is still very necessary to develop. Keywords: Wadi>’ah, Islamic Bank, National Sharia Board

This paper’s primary objective is to identify the relative importance of various Islamic financial products, in theory and in practice, by examining the financing records of the Bank Islam Malaysia (Berhad) and the Bahrain Islamic Bank. Currently, seven available Islamic financing products are considered viable alternatives to interest-based conventional contracts: mudarabah (trust financing), musharakah (equity financing), ijarah (lease financing), murabahah (trade financing), qard al-hassan (welfare loan), bay` bi al-thaman al-ajil (deferred payment financing), and istisna` (progressive payments). Among these financial products, mudarabah and musharakah are the most distinct. Their unique characteristics (at least in theory) make Islamic banks and Islamic financing viable alternatives to the conventional interest-based financial system. The question before us is to determine the extent of mudarabah and musharakah in Islamic financing in practice. The data are as follows: the average mudarabah is 5% of total financing, and the average musharakah is less than 3%. The combined average of mudarabah and musharakah for the two Islamic banks is less than 4% of the total finance and advances. The average qard al- hassan is about 4%, while istisna` does not yet exist in practice. Murabahah is the most popular and dominates all other modes of Islamic financing. The average use of murabahah is over 54%. When the bay` bi al-thaman al-ajil is added to the murabahah, the percentage of total financing is shown to be 2.68%. This paper also explores some possible reasons why these two Islamic banks appear to prefer murabahah to mudarabah and musharakah.

Purpose This paper aims to integrate and examine three loyalty routes (i.e. service quality, emotional attachment and religiosity) in developing customer loyalty towards Islamic banking. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 412 Islamic bank customers from Indonesia. Variance-based structural equation modelling was applied to evaluate the association between service quality, emotional attachment, religiosity and customer loyalty. Findings This study reveals that customer loyalty is more driven by emotional attachment and religiosity rather than by perceived service quality. Although not directly affecting customer loyalty, service quality strengthens customer satisfaction towards Islamic banks. Practical implications This study provides an opportunity for Islamic bank managers to increase their customer loyalty through the development of emotional attachment and religiosity. To improve customer loyalty, this study suggests that Islamic banks have to provide prompt, accurate and non-personal service. It is also important for Islamic bank managers to keep the bank operation compliant with the Sharia law. Originality/value This study is the first attempt to assess the three loyalty routes simultaneously in influencing customer loyalty.

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.
