Takaful
Philosophy of Takaful
The philosophy of takaful is based on the spirit
of mutual responsibility, co-operation and cover in
social activities for the well-being of the people
and solidarity of the society.
The spirit of sharing coupled with a
sincere intention is strongly recommended in
Islam based on the following hadiths:“ The attitude of the believer and feeling of
brotherhood to one another is like that of a single
body. When one member of the body is hurt, it
will have an effect to the whole body”
“ Each one of you has a responsibility and each one
of you is responsible towards those under your
responsibility.”
(Reported by Bukhari and Muslim)
Differences Between Conventional insurance and
Takaful
First, insurance is a transfer technique whereby the insured
(customer) transfers the risk of financial loss to another
party which is the insurance company.
Second, it is a contract between the policyholder
and the insurer that states what the consequences of loss are
transferred and expresses the insurer’s promise to pay for those
consequences.
Differences Between Takaful & Conventional
insurance
Third, the contract of insurance involve uncertainty (gharar) as the
policy holder is paying premium for an event which is
unknown such as accident and death. These
events are also speculative (maisir)
Fourth, there is an element of usury (riba) in insurance as
money is being exchanged with money in a buying and selling contract.
Policy holder/beneficiary will obtained the
promised return (cash value) and the accumulated interest.
Premium collected is invested in riba based
transactions.
Tabarru’ differentiates takaful from insurance
Tabarru’ is an Arabic noun that means “ donation; gift; contribution”. Under
takaful, part of the contributions from every participants must be with
made with the intention of tabarru’ and not for
buying/selling. The existence of tabarru’ makes the
transaction permissible and valid according to the Shariah.
Mudharabah replaces interest
The contract of takaful uses Mudharabah (profit sharing) as its operating
principle and does not predetermined interest to be paid to the
policy holder/interest up front.
The takaful company acts as
mudharib and accepts the contributions from the participants. As the
entrepreneur, the takaful company will manage various takaful funds and
investment activities. The profit sharing ratio can be in any proportion (eg.
70:30 or 60:40) but must be agreed upon between the customer and takaful
company.
