What Is Islamic Banking?

Islamic Banking is a financial system that operates in accordance with Islamic law (Shariah). Unlike conventional banking, it prohibits interest (Riba), excessive uncertainty (Gharar), and investments in unethical businesses.

Instead of charging interest, Islamic banks engage in profit-sharing, leasing, and trade-based transactions, ensuring that all financial activities are fair, transparent, and beneficial to society.
