About Islamic Banking

Islamic banking is consistent with the principles of Sharia. A key factor is that it operates without applying interest, which is not permitted in Islam religion, as money by itself is not considered to be a commodity from which you can profit.

Islamic banks are based on an asset-backed system of finance and develop partnerships with their customers where risk and reward are shared. Unlike many conventional banks, Islamic banks only invest customers’ deposits in ethical activities which are consistent with the principles of Sharia.

Islamic banks are founded on faith-based, ethical principles that are derived from trade, entrepreneurship and risk-sharing. As money by itself is not considered to be a commodity from which you can profit, no interest is paid or received by Islamic banks. The ethics and values which underpin Islamic banking include inclusivity, transparency, integrity, respect and fairness.

Unlike the conventional bank-customer relationship, Islamic banks work with their customers in partnership, sharing risk and reward.

Islamic banks only use their customers’ deposits for investments which are permitted in Sharia. So, customers’ money will never be invested in gambling, alcohol, arms, tobacco, pornography or any interest bearing activities. The activities of UBA Bank are constantly monitored by UBA’s Sharia Adviser.

The source of the Islamic bank’s funding, profits and business investments cannot be in/from businesses that are considered unlawful under Sharia, such as gambling, alcohol, arms, tobacco, pornography or any interest bearing activities.

Under the principles of Sharia, the presence of interest creates an inequitable relationship between two parties favoring one over the other; this imbalance can ultimately lead to wider negative social and economic implications, as has been seen in recent years with several major global banks failing. This is why it is forbidden in the Qur’an as generating money from money is effortless and useless approach of making money, it instead encourages trade and investment.
