Islamic banking

The term “Islamic banking” refers to a system of banking or banking activity that is consistent with Islamic laws (Shariah) principles and guided by Islamic economics. In particular, Islamic law prohibits usury, the collection and payment of interest, also commonly called Riba in Islamic discourse. In addition, Islamic law prohibits investing in businesses that are considered unlawful or Haraam (such as businesses that sell alcohol or pork or businesses that produce media such as gossip columns or pornography, which are contrary to Islamic values).
