Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) had introduced Value-Based Intermediation (VBI) initiatives to help Islamic banks implement a structuralised form of maqasid al-shariah (objectives of shariah (Islamic law)) in their banking operations. Thus, questions were raised by the public on whether or not Islamic banking institutions in Malaysia had been achieving maqasid al-shariah in their banking operations prior to VBI. This paper aims to discuss the real concept of maqasid al-shariah that should be realised in Islamic banks and investigate whether Islamic banks had truly been achieving maqasid al-shariah in their banking operations before the introduction of VBI. Library research is conducted to obtain information on maqasid al-shariah and the qualitative methodology is adopted to gain information from three bankers representing three Islamic banks in Malaysia via semi-structured interviews. The researchers found that the fundamental concept of maqasid al-shariah in Islamic banks includes the protection of religion, life, intellect, progeny and wealth in human life through the products and services offered by the banks. The Islamic banks were found to have developed their products and services to achieve maqasid al-shariah even before VBI was introduced by BNM. However, with VBI, a proper framework in achieving maqasid al-shariah has been developed.

This article review Islamic law quoted from jurists’ opinion and legal experts on the use of auction trading theory in the collateral sale. Every financial transaction in Islamic banking required a guarantee. It is intended to save bank funds if the customer defaults. Based on constitutional act Number 4 of 1996 of mortgage rights, Islamic banks have the right to confiscate the asset (guarantees) of a customer who has reached the due date without intention to pay. However, the bank cannot carry out unilateral execution to make direct sales. The formal procedures which banks must follow to disburse funds from customer guarantees are usually long and often meet various obstacles. This article analyzes normatively and empirically the bail auction guarantees implementation on Islamic banking in Aceh based on the Islamic law concept from the al Quran, Hadith, and the scholars’ Ijma’. Although conventional law is still used in the auction rules, the implementation of guarantees as applied to Islamic banking has adopted many Islamic laws. However, in the practice, there are still many problems that arise from the Islamic law scope which uphold the philosophy of maslahah and the concept of justice. The paper, therefore, employs qualitative approach and secondary date to investigate Shariah perspective against execution of collateral auctions on Islamic banking institutions in Aceh, Indonesia.

The foundation of Islamic banking and finance is based on the Islamic law of business transactions/ muamlat, which also confines to the moral and ethical codes of Islam. Also, the involvement of Shariah and Islamic ethics in the governance structure of Islamic banks gives rise to a special kind of disclosure issue called Shariah disclosure. The literature suggests, that stakeholders, including customers and shareholders, use Shariah disclose as core criteria to direct their transactions with Islamic Banking Institutions (IBIs). However, the available disclosure indices in the established literature are not insufficient for assessing Shariah disclosure of the IBIs. The present research study attempts to assess the level of Shariah disclosure of five full-fledged Islamic banks in Pakistan. For this purpose, the study developed Shariah Disclosure Index (ShDI). ShDI will be used as the basis upon the disclosure requirements of State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), Accounting and Auditing Organizations for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI), and Islamic business reporting literature. A survey design is used to collect the data for ShDI constructs by utilizing annual reports of the five full-fledged banks from the year of 2015 until 2017. The findings disclosed that the Shariah disclosure in Pakistani Islamic banks is satisfactory i.e., near 70% compared 30% Shariah disclosure of the foreign Islamic banks operating in Pakistan. It is appreciable that all the Islamic banks, particularly Pakistani Islamic banks, disclosing about 80%-90% of the SBP mandatory and AAOIFI recommended Shariah disclosure items. While, disclosure of the voluntary Shariah disclosure items are still very low i.e. 15%. It is also noted that the Shariah disclosure level was gradually improving which portrays in the increment of the average Shariah disclosure level in 2017 compared to2015. The research provides a benchmark and indicator for all stakeholders who are making their investment and business decisions In addition, the study is equally important for IBIs to comply with ShDI to ensure full Shariah disclosure in order to attract new investors, religiously excluded investors, and protect the ideological stance and religious commitments of the existing customers as well.

<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 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.
