Takaful (Insurance)

Takaful is 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 for over 1400 years. 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.

Islamic Capital Market (ICM)

The Islamic Capital Market (ICM) refers to the market where the activities are carried out in ways that do not conflict with the conscience of Muslims and the religion of Islam. In other words, the ICM represents an assertion of religious law in the capital market transactions where the market should be free from the involvement of prohibited activities by Islam as well as free from the elements such as usury (riba), gambling (maisir) and ambiguity (gharar).

Islamic Capital Market (ICM)

The ICM today is one of the components in the overall capital market in Malaysia. It plays similar important role as other capital market components in generating the economic growth of the country. The ICM has functioned as a parallel market to the conventional capital market for capital seekers and providers, and has played a complementary role to the Islamic banking system in broadening and deepening the Islamic financial markets in Malaysia.

Islamic Interbank Money Market (IIMM)

The Islamic money market is integral to the functioning of the Islamic banking system, firstly, in providing the Islamic financial institutions with the facility for funding and adjusting portfolios over the short-term, and secondly, serving as a channel for the transmission of monetary policy. Financial instruments and interbank investment would allow surplus banks to channel funds to deficit banks, thereby maintaining the funding and liquidity mechanism necessary to promote stability in the system.


The Islamic Inter bank Money Market (IIMM) was introduced on January 3, 1994 as a short-term intermediary to provide a ready source of short-term investment outlets based on Syariah principle. Through the IIMM, the Islamic banks and banks participating in the Islamic Banking Scheme (IBS) would be able to match the funding requirements effectively and efficiently. Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) issued the Guidelines on the IIMM on December 18, 1993 to facilitate proper implementation of the IIMM.
