Differentiate between the risk management in
conventional banking and Islamic banking
5. FUNDAMENTALS
• Shariah laws are the tenets of Islamic Banking. As such,
the comparison with that of the conventional are not
exactly like-to-like.
• Conventional banking was build upon the fundamentals
of debtor-creditor relationship with interest being the
price of credit and reflecting the opportunity cost of
money. Hence, money is a commodity somewhat.
• Financial relationship in Islam is generally participatory in
nature. E.g. the Financial relationship in Islam is generally
participatory in nature. E.g. the principles of Musharakah
and Mudharabah, or contractual transaction.
• In addition, risk and reward relationship is guided by the
socio-economic principles.
6. There are two major difference
between Islamic Banking and
Conventional Banking
• Conventional banking practices are concerned
with "elimination of risk" where as Islamic
banks "bear the risk" when involve in any
transaction.
7. • When Conventional banks involve in
transaction with consumer they do not take
the liability only get the benefit from
consumer in form of interest whereas Islamic
banks bear all the liability when involve in
transaction with consumer. Getting out any
benefit without bearing its liability is declared
Haram in Islam.
There are two major difference
between Islamic Banking and
Conventional Banking
8. Conventional Banking System Islamic Banking System
Depositors are paid interest Depositors are entitled to profit sharing
The customer has no say where banker
invest money
Under special investment account, the
customer can decide where banker invest
the money
Borrowers are charged interest Financing is done through purchase and
resale to the customer, thus earning
profit. If a loss is incurred under
Mudharabah, the capital provider will
bear the loss, whereas under
Musharakah, the loss will be shared
according to the financing ratio
Except for financing under leasing, margin
of financing will be less than 100%
Under Mudharabah or BBA concept,
100% financing can be availed
Repayment is not fixed Repayment price is fixed

11. ISLAMIC BANKING CONVENTIONAL BANKING
The functions and operating modes of
Islamic banks are based on the principles
of Islamic Shariah.
The functions and operating modes of
conventional banks are based on fully
manmade principles (largely capitalism
theory).
It promotes risk sharing between provider
of capital (investor) and the user of funds
(entrepreneur).
The investor/lender is guaranteed of a
predetermined rate of interest or returns.
It also aims at maximizing profit but
subject to Shariah restrictions.
Unrestricted profit maximisation
illustrated by derivatives trading.
In the modern Islamic banking system, it
has become one of the service-oriented
functions of the Islamic banks to be a
Zakat Collection Centre and them also pay
out their Zakat
It does not deal with Zakat.
12. ISLAMIC BANKING CONVENTIONAL BANKING
Participation in partnership business is
the fundamental function of the Islamic
banks. Understanding the venture is
therefore essential. Embedded know-
your-customer orientation.
Lending money and getting it back with
compounding interest is the fundamental
function of the conventional banks.
Money is a commodity and the
motivation.
Islamic banks have no provision to charge
any extra money from the defaulters
except for compensation (typically such
proceeds are given to charity). Rebates
early settlement at the Bank's discretion.
It can charge additional money (penalty
and compounded interest) in case of
defaulters
Due importance to the public interest/
maslahah. Its ultimate aim is to ensure
growth with equity.
Often, lenders/banks interest becoming
forefront. It makes no effort to ensure
growth with equity
For the Islamic banks, it must be based on
a Shariah approved underlying
transaction.
For interest-based commercial banks,
borrowing from the money market is
relatively easier.
13. ISLAMIC BANKING CONVENTIONAL BANKING
Since it shares profit and loss, the Islamic
banks pay greater attention to developing
project appraisal and evaluations.
Since income from the advances/loans is
fixed, it gives little importance to developing
expertise in project appraisal and
evaluations. Risks are transferable at a price
(and sometimes incremental).
Greater emphasis on the viability of the
projects.
The conventional banks give greater
emphasis on creditworthiness of the clients
where credit equals to ‘commodity pricing’.
The status of Islamic bank in relation to its
clients is that of partners, investors and
trader, buyer and seller.
Relationship is often defined as that of
creditor-debtor.
Islamic bank can only guarantee deposits for
deposit account, which is based on the
principle of al-wadiah, thus the depositors
are guaranteed repayment of their funds,
however if the account is based on the
mudharabah concept, client have to share in
a loss position.
A conventional bank has to guarantee all its
deposits.

17. Personal Loan vs Personal financing
• The main difference between Islamic
Banking and Conventional Banking arises on
the charging of interest on loans without the
lender taking a share of the risk involved in
the investment of the loan; something
traditionally known as usury.
• Usury is making money by lending money;
put in other words, it is making money from
absolutely nothing, and is exactly what is
happening around the globe today on an
absolutely massive scale.
18. CONVENTIONAL SIDE
• The charging of interest discourages people from
working to earn money, and the value of work is
undermined. Therefore money lies idle in banks
as people are earning money over their bank
deposits. This discourages investment, and risking
money in business. It also discourages the
borrower from borrowing money for investment,
because the risks involved in borrowing are not
shared by the bank so the borrower has to return
his loan to the bank with the interest whether his
business results in failure or success.
19. ISLAMIC SIDE
• Islamic banking on the other hand, is based on the
concept of risk sharing. The bank enjoys a share in
the profit of the company if it thrives, but also
provides extensions for loan repayment if
required, and shares the loss if the business fails,
and in extreme cases, it may forgive the loan
altogether.

23. Housing Loan vs Housing financing
• In the conventional loan, the base-lending
rate (BLR) stated above is subject to change
depending of the interest rate market. BLR in
is this country have reached over 10% during
the financial crisis. But now for the last few
years, the BLR has stayed around 6-7%. If the
BLR goes up, the borrower has to pay more
in interests. The user tends to gain, if the BLR
goes down. If in the long term the interest
rate remains low the user tends to gain.
24. Housing Loan vs Housing financing
• In the Islamic banking model, the profit rates are fixed
for the entire tenure of the loan. It is based on Islamic
principle that when we agree on a fixed loan and
repayment, it should remain the same. If at the time that
when the loan agreement is signed, the terms are say
BLR + 1.5%. and assuming that the existing BLR is 6.0%,
then the loan agreement is signed off as 8% flat for the
entire tenure. Normally interest rates for Islamic rates
are slightly higher if we were to look the rates now. The
advantage is the user gains to benefit if the interest rates
go up, as they are not affected by the increase. However
they would tend to lose of if the rates go down and they
would not benefit from the lower rates.

27. Islamic banks have changed the borrowing
relationship to various concepts that are
acknowledged in Islam such as partnership
(Musharakah or Mudharabah), or seller (bank) and
buyer/renter (customer). Changes in the relationship
are not only with the ‘aqad or contract, even asset
ownership has changed and is accepted by Malaysian
law. This means, from the legal point of view, the
trading or renting process does take place. However,
many customers of Islamic banks do not recognise
the efforts of Islamic banks in making changes as
they do not read the contracts they sign.

Hire Purchase

AITAB (Al Ijarah Thumma

30. Hire Purchase vs AITAB (Al Ijarah Thumma al
Bai)
Under common law, a hire-purchase transaction is a
contract whereby one party (called “the owner”)
leases goods on “hire” to “the hirer” and agrees
that the hirer may (at his own option) either return
the goods when he no longer needs them and
terminate the lease, or elect to purchase the goods
on completion of the necessary payments agreed in
the contract. In simple terms, a hire-purchase
transaction is hire, coupled with an option to buy,
provided that all the conditions are fulfilled until the
end of the hiring contract
31. The Islamic hire-purchase financing offered by
local Islamic banks is AITAB. AITAB is applied as
a modification of HPA with added emphasis
upon two elements, namely the “letter of aqad”
and without “overdue interest”. In the case of
defaulted payments, a repossession order is
executed without charge for overdue interest.
