The importance of the Financial Reports has been clearly emphasized from the Quranic Verse as follows: “…Never get bored with recording it, however small and large, up to its maturity date, for this is seen by Allah as closer to justice, more supportive to testimony and more resolving to doubt…” [Al-Baqara: 2, 82].

The inconsistency of financial reporting of CIMB Islamic Bank Bhd arises from BBA transactions - absence of the financial records of the “property buying” by the bank from the customer. It violates the Hadith “One must not sell what one does not own”. It makes buy-sell (bay al-enah) procedures only fictitious since no transaction recorded for asset buying HISHAMUDDIN ABDUL WAHAB 19 19 Objectives Contract (‘Aqd) Legal Documentation FINANCIAL REPORTING Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah Journal Entry for BBA (or Murabaha) (Shahul Hameed, 2009) No Transactions/ Events Dr Cr 1 Purchase of Asset by bank Equipment Cash/Creditor Murabaha 2 Murabaha (BBA) sale financing (cost + profit) 3 4 Installment receipt Recognition of profit as each installment received Equipment at cost of deferred profit with profit Cash Murabaha Financing Deferred profit Profit n Loss 5 Termination of contract A/c receivable Murabaha Financing 6 Rebate for early payment Deferred profit Murabaha Financing HISHAMUDDIN ABDUL WAHAB 20 20 Objectives Contract (‘Aqd) Legal Documentation FINANCIAL REPORTING Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah General Presentation and Disclosure Relating to BBA Standard General Presentation and Disclosure In Balance sheet, on the asset side, BBA financing is pooled together with other types of financing into category of Financing, advances and other loans.
