4. ISLAMIC BANKING AND FINANCE
Islamic banking (Arabic: ‫مصرفية‬‫إسالمية‬ ) is a banking or
banking activity that is consistent with the principles of
sharia (Islamic law) and its practical application through
the development of Islamic economics. As such, a more
correct term for Islamic banking is sharia compliant
finance.
Islamic finance is a financial system that operates
according to Islamic law (which is called sharia) and is,
therefore, sharia-compliant. Just like
conventional financial systems, Islamic finance features
banks, capital markets, fund managers, investment firms,
and insurance companies.

Step-up-Model
The Step-up Payment plan is introduced for customers who
intend to avail maximum financing facility with lower
installments. The step up model is based on Shariah-compliant
structure of Diminishing Musharakah. In this model, the
bank’s share is divided into Musharakah units and in the
initial half of the facility tenure, the customer purchases one
Musharakah unit from the bank every month and in the later
half of the facility tenure, the customer purchases two
Musharakah units from the bank every month. Thus the
monthly installment during initial years is comparatively
lower which is easily affordable. This model is a Shariah-
compliant alternative available to the customers who wish to
avail maximum financing facility from the Bank.

Profit Calculations
Meezan Bank's Profit margin is correlated to the
conventional market trends. At Meezan Bank, the profit
margin is directly correlated to market trends to provide a
competitive product to our customers. Shariah allows the use
of any conventional market factor as a benchmark to
determine the profit rate of a particular product. The simple
fact that the applied profit rate of our product is based on
similar factors used in determining the applied rate of interest
of a mortgage does not render the transaction or the contract
invalid from the Shariah perspective, and neither does it make
the transaction an interest-bearing one. On the other hand, it is
the underlying structure of the product that determines its
Shariah compliance.

of the property up to the extent of its share. In

owner of the property. It gives loan to
customer for purchase of property.

Islamic Housing Finance Conventional Housing Finance
In the event of any loss in the musharakah
property due to any natural disaster, an
Islamic bank shares the loss in the property.
Hence an Islamic Bank takes high risk.
Conventional bank does not share in the
losses in case of any type of damage to
property as it has given loan to the
customer.

33. DIMINISHING MUSHARAKAH FAQS
6. EARLY PAYMENTS PROFIT / PANELTY ON BALOON PAYMENTS
Islamic Housing Finance Conventional Housing Finance
The property is re-valuated at the time of
unit purchase to determine its current
market price. If the market price remains the
same than no additional payment is taken
from customer and the additional
musharakah units are sold at face value.
However, if the price of the property
increases, for example 20% or 30%, the
bank increases the unit price by minimal
amount say 3% or 5%. This additional
amount is the true profit of the bank for
selling the musharakah units from the
bank’s share in the property.
The conventional banks charges penalty
over the amount of balloon payment
irrespective of the fact that value of
property is appreciated or not.

34. DIMINISHING MUSHARAKAH FAQS

The profit rate used for Housing Finance is a combination of
fixed and floating rates. The rentals for Musharakah property are
calculated using a fixed rate applicable for the first year. These
rentals are recalculated annually for the next 12 months at the
first anniversary, using a floating rate formula based on the
average of 12-month KIBOR (Karachi Inter Bank Offer Rate)
announced before the start of each calendar quarter.

35. DIMINISHING MUSHARAKAH FAQS

Inter-bank Offer Rate) as a benchmark the rate may
vary.

36. DIMINISHING MUSHARAKAH FAQS
Does Islamic Banks allows its customers to sell the
property during the tenure of transaction?

the remaining Bank's share in the property. The option of financing
transfer to a new owner is not available. However, bank can judge
the new owner independently as per their policy for providing
housing facility.

best to implement diminishing musharakah partnership
for house financing can be leased out to agreed rental.

of Islamic jurisprudence since the financier sells its
shares to customer.
