Islamic banking  is practices are based on Islamic (Sharia) laws. Interest in completely prohibited in Islamic banking It is asset based financing, in which trade of elements prohibited by Islam are not allowed. For example, you cannot take a loan for a Wine Shop and the Conventional Banking is based on Man-Made Laws. It is profit-oriented and its purpose is to make money through interest.

Difference between Conventional and Islamic banking

 

 

Conventional Banking Islamic Banking

Money is a commodity besides medium of exchange and store of value. Therefore, it can be sold at a price higher than its face value and it can also be rented out.

Money is not a commodity though it is used as a medium of exchange and store of value. Therefore, it cannot be sold at a price higher than its face value or rented out.

Time value is the basis for charging interest on capital.

Profit on trade of goods or charging on providing service is the basis for earning profit.

Interest is charged even in case the organization suffers losses by using bank’s funds. Therefore, it is not based on profit and loss sharing.

Islamic bank operates on the basis of profit and loss sharing. In case, the businessman has suffered losses, the bank will share these losses based on the mode of finance used (Mudarabah, Musharakah).

While disbursing cash finance, running finance or working capital finance, no agreement for exchange of goods & services is made.

The execution of agreements for the exchange of goods & services is a must, while disbursing funds under Murabaha, Salam & Istisna contracts.

Conventional banks use money as a commodity which leads to inflation.

Islamic banking tends to create link with the real sectors of the economic system by using trade related activities. Since, the money is linked with the real assets therefore it contributes directly in the economic development.
