Islamic banking is defined as banking system which is in consonance with the spirit, ethos and value system of Islam and governed by the principles laid down by Islamic Shariah. Interest free banking is a narrow concept denoting a number of banking instruments or operations which avoid interest. Islamic banking, the more general term, is based not only to avoid interest-based transactions prohibited in Islamic Shariah but also to avoid unethical and un-social practices.
In practical sense, Islamic Banking is the
transformation of conventional money lending into transactions based on
tangible assets and real services. The model of Islamic banking system leads
towards the achievement of a system which helps achieve economic prosperity.
