Islamic Finance
Islamic banking, Islamic finance ( ar, مصرفية إسلامية), or Sharia-compliant finance is banking or financing activity that complies with Sharia (Islamic law) and its practical application through the development of Islamic economics. Some of the modes of Islamic banking/finance include '' Mudarabah'' (profit-sharing and loss-bearing), ''Wadiah'' (safekeeping), '' Musharaka'' (joint venture), '' Murabahah'' (cost-plus), and ''Ijara'' (leasing).

These prohibitions have been applied historically in varying degrees in Muslim countries/communities to prevent un-Islamic practices. In the late 20th century, as part of the re ...
