Conclusion

Islamic banking is a very young concept. Yet it has already been implemented as theonly system in two Muslim countries; there are Islamic banks in many Muslimcountries and a few innon-Muslim countries as well. Despite the successfulacceptance there are problems. These problems are mainly in the area of financing.

With only minor changes in their practices, Islamic banks can get rid of all theircumbersome, burdensome and sometimes doubtful forms of financing and offer aclean and efficient interest-free banking. All the necessary ingredients are already

there. The modified system will make use of only two forms of financing loans with aservice charge and Mudaraba participatory financing both of which are fully acceptedby all Muslim writers on the subject.

Such a system will offer an effective banking system where Islamic banking isobligatory and a powerful alternative to conventional banking where both co-exist.

Additionally, such a system will have no problem in obtaining authorization to operateinnon-Muslim countries.

Participatory financing is a unique feature ofIslamic banking, and can offer

responsible financing to socially and economically relevant development projects.This is an additional service Islamic banks offer over and above the traditionalservices provided by conventional commercial banks.
