Islamic banking aims to comply with sharia (Islamic law) which prohibits riba (usury or interest). It operates deposit accounts and provides financing through modes like joint ventures, profit-sharing, and leasing which are asset-backed. Islamic banks were spared from the Euro crisis as they do not engage in speculation, toxic assets, or debt trading and are based on profit/loss sharing and asset-backed financing. While initially a niche, Islamic finance is gaining mainstream acceptance globally as regulations develop and investors understand Islamic structures.
