The term Islamic finance refers to a system of financing or financial activity that is consistent with Islamic rules and principles. The model outlined under Islamic finance is based on two main pillars: sharing profit and loss and the prohibition of charging interest. Several modes of financing are being used in Islamic finance practice, some of which could be considered similar to conventional banking products.
