TAKAFUL
Takaful is a co-operative system of reimbursement in case of loss, paid to people and companies concerned about hazards, compensated out of a fund to which they agree to donate small regular contributions managed on behalf by a Takaful Operator. It is defined as an Islamic insurance concept which is grounded in Islamic muamalat (Islamic banking), observing the rules and regulations of Islamic law. This concept has been practised in various forms since 622 CE. Muslim jurists acknowledge that the basis of shared responsibility (in the system of aquila as practised between Muslims of Mecca and Medina) laid the foundation of mutual insurance.

The Mudharabah model (profit-sharing)
According to this principle the al-Mudharib (takaful operator) accepts payment of the takaful installments or takaful contributions (premiums, known as ra 's-ul-mal) from investors or providers of capital or funds (takaful participants), acting as sahib-ul-mal. The contract specifies how the profits (or surplus) from the operations of the takaful is to be shared in accordance with the principle of al-mudharabah – between the participants (as providers of capital) and the takaful operator. The sharing of such profit may be in a ratio of 50:50, 60:40, 70:30 and so forth, as mutually agreed between the contracting parties.
In order to eliminate the element of uncertainty in the takaful contract, the concept of tabarru ("to donate, contribute, or give away") is incorporated. Relating to this concept, a participant agrees to relinquish (as tabarru) a certain proportion of his takaful installments (or contributions) that he agrees or undertakes to pay, should any of his fellow participants suffer a defined loss. This agreement enables him to fulfill his obligation of mutual help and joint guarantee.
In essence, tabarru enables participants to perform their deeds in assisting fellow participants who

So this is a lot earlier than the last response. So we have been in Taklimaken for three days and, well, it’s not fun. Crossing deserts is a painful thing to do. The best, or worst I guess, is that there are these strange bones every where that are leading us where we need to go. They are large and made of many things like camel, horse, and human.(Document C) So in order to keep my mind off of that and to stay alert, I am writing down what I has been happening. So far this is the worst place we have traveled, mostly because I hate sand, it is corse and rough, and it seems to get everywhere. Anyway what I hate most is the heat. It feels like over 100º. But getting to hang out more with Xin and Yul is fun. Oh and while I don’t really like Mongols,

Islam is more than a religion, it’s a culture, and as such has an effect on political, social, and economic aspects of life—this is especially true outside of the Western world.

After the researches, we had decided to choose the Islamic insurance, Takaful as our Islamic financial instrument and Conventional Insurance as the conventional product for comparison. The first fatwa that explicitly prohibited profitmaking insurance in its modern application and its related activities was made by Ibn Abdeen (a Syrian Scholar) in 1834. While opinions are vary among Muslim scholars, the overwhelming majority of them have concluded that conventional insurance contracts are unacceptable to Islam.

Deductibles, coinsurance, policy limits and exclusions are examples of contractual provisions that limit insurance coverage. Deductible, which consists of per occurrence deductible and aggregate deductible, is the expenses that the insured have to pay before the insurance company covers the remaining costs. Coinsurance, on the other hand, is a co-sharing agreement between the insured and the insurer in which the insured pays a share of the payment made against a claim. A policy limit, which is also one of the contractual provisions, is defined as the maximum amount that the insurer will pay. In deductible, insurer pays losses before the losses are reimbursed but in a self-insured retention (SIR), the insured pays the losses up to deductible. In commercial policies, if the SIR is relatively large, then the policy is called an excess policy and the SIR is called the attachment point. When an insured is

Both methods are acknowledged by Item 4 of Shari’ah Standard No. 41, AAOIFI 2010.
As all know, Insurance has existed for many decades and centuries. In the first place, it has existed as a business in the market and as a preparation for the human who are in need for them to face any loss. But, unfortunately, it does not comply with the rules and requirement of Shariah in Islam. Thus, Takaful or Islamic Insurance is introduced to help people in need as a counterpart of insurance. Besides, scholars have agreed that protections following to Shariah must be based on the concept of Islamic Takaful. Regards of Takaful, the word Takaful is derived from the Arabic word ‘kafala’ which means a guarantee, bail, warrant or an act of securing one’s need. In other words, it is a pact of guarantee in a group of individual to sustain any loss or damage they faced.
