Introduction:
The Islamic banking today has become most popular Financial system in the world. It appeared on the world as energetic player over three decades ago. Islamic Bank today exists in all the parts of the world and is looked upon as a realistic substitute system which has so much to suggest. It was firstly developed to accomplish the needs of Muslims, but now it is universally acceptable. Islam is a religion that undoubtedly prohibits the interest, so the basic principle of Islamic banking is the prohibition of Riba in our daily transactions. At first side, efforts are to cover the entire financial systems according to Islamic (Shariah). At the second side, full fledged Islamic banks are allowed to run there operations in similar and conservative banks that based on interest.
1.1.1) Islamic Banking Defined: Its a type of banking which are totally reliable on the (Shariah). Banking is passed out in satisfying with the Shariah, known as fiqh muaamalaat (dealings based on Islamic principals). It is clearly defined that the banking is with the viewpoint and value arrangement of Islam. It doesnt allows the giving and taking of riba and promote larger degree of evenhandedness & justice for everyone that carry out of banking system. Without Riba banking is a slender idea that denotes number of instrument or operation, which evade interest from Islamic-banking system not only restricts transactions in which interest is involved, which are strictly not permitted in Islam, but it moreover restricts the immoral practices, and thus aggressively participates to achieve the goals, mission and all the objectives which is a part of an Islamic Economic system. Rules and regulations of shariah come up to from two primary sources namely the Holy book Quran and the Sunnah and other secondary and truthful sources of Islamic law. All the operations of Islamic banking are in a number of contracts under fiqh muamalat. The broadly used concepts in Islamic banking include profit sharing that is known as Mudaraba, safekeeping known as Wadiah, joint venture known as Musharika, cost plus as Murabaha and leasing as Ijarah.
1.1.2) Why Islamic Banking? Islam is a absolute regulations of life that provides direction about each and every aspect of life. The chief objectives of Islamic financial System are as under. y Equivalent division of wealth y Societal fairness These objectives are never able to achieve in Interest based financial systems. Allahs instructions have made compulsory on us to attempt and discover the right banking system. One who gets to be familiar with the divergence between what is allowed and what is not allowed

will be the one with a very clear sense of right and wrong when he/she will appear in front of Allah Almighty. Allah has very undoubtedly intended the prohibition of interest in His splendid book.
In Islam, there is no room for interest. It gives origin to an unfair economy; one that nepotism the wealthy and exploits the poor. The plunder for attempt and entrepreneurship is not profit, rather the interest based financial system plunder capitalists. Banking that is based on Islamic point of view is an important and it is also valuable because it eliminates the barriers among those individuals who spend and save & carried them nearer to the genuine market. The financing of those banks are controlled by functional services and goods that avoid doing from financing ethically unpleasant services e.g pornography and casinos and also intoxicating drinks or that whether the supplies and services are lawful in the country. Every matchless and most important characteristic of Islamic Banking is assimilation of fair and moral values with its banking operations. The moral and proper considerations of Islam cant be without being seen and their ethical and moral activities must be reliable with moral and right principles followed by those rules and regulations which are based on islam.
1.1.3) Historical point of view of Islamic Banking: The beginning of Islamic economics starts at the time of Prophet (SAW). The examples of Quran set by Holy Prophet (SAW) provides undeviating behavioral channel to over millions of Muslims worldwide. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was a dealer for Khadija. The Prophetic example was a picture of fair business. Ensuring the clarity in transactions, abstaining from usury and total truthfulness and give a title of Al-Amin the honorable personality in Arab. In Muslim community, the banking actions refer the time of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). On the other hand, in anticipation of 40 years ago, Islamic Banking was not extremely wellknown. The initial example of Islamic banking came into existence in 1963 in Egypt. The ground-breaking hard work by Ahmad al Najjaar that gives origin to this bank, (non-interest based philosophy of Shariah) whose key principle was profit distribution. There were total Nine different banks in the country at the last year 1976. Those institutions didnt paid or charged Riba but their working were generally controlled to do business where those banks invested openly or as associates of depositors. So these institutions work more functionally then the other conventional banks. In Egypt Nazir social bank was the first ever commercial bank in 1971, despite the fact that this contract has no references to Islamic shariah. This bank was clearly according to the rules of Shariah and in 1974 islamic organization made this bank and the Islamic organization is called (IDB) in Jedah Saudi Arabia. Gradually during the 1970s more than a few Islamic banks came into being, including the Faysal bank of Sudan in 1977 and the Bahrain bank in 1979 and also the Dubai Islamic Bank in 1975. Others banks from Asia includes the (PAB) Philippine Amanat bank, that is established under president order. Pakistan also established a banking setup which do their operation according to

the Shariah but Pakistan is unlucky in this matter because this system did not stay alive for a long time. The factual stage of development of Islamic banking really happened in the 1980s. Previous initiative that tends towards the banking in which Riba is not involved, but the materialization of this type of system starts in 1980s. On the other hand, avoidance of riba is still the fundamental clause of Islamic banking , and the principals for example possession of rights and the regulations ofrisk of distribution also supported. OIC declared Islamic insurance as Shariah acquiescent. The new face of financing according to Islamic rules covers all the banking activities includes the place where assets formulate or is available for sale and purchase. The major change is done when an auditing and accounting firm gets a hold to take care the activities of Islamic banking all over the world. After some time in 2002 other organizations also gets right to take cares expansion of standards for example Islamic Financial Services Board present in Malaysia In view of the fact that this type of banking is thinning out everywhere in the world at a extraordinary speed from fundamental abstraction to become a commanding force in the world. Now the world is recognizing in Pakistan the meaning of Islamic banking that is addressed by the founder of great Pakistan.
1.1.4) Banking that is based on Islamic rules: In the later 70s Islamic banking coincides with the internationally revival. Pakistan is the country which tries to implement Islamic banking at a big level. This happens when president gave order on 29th September, 1977. This group includes bankers and panelists, who want to eliminate interest from the society. This statement indicates that the Islamic banking will be implemented in Pakistan. Islamic country Pakistan after twenty years gap now resolute and move in the direction of riba that is not present in economy without damaging the economy. The official announcement made by Governor of the state bank in the uppermost Court of Pakistan that reflects the future strategy. SBP issue the criteria detail in late Dec 2001 just because of establishing Islamic banks in all sectors of pakistan. Recently recognized banks must list in the Pakistan Stock Exchange that provides lowest/minimum amount of 50 % of the total shares that will be open for the local public. Only fifteen percent of the total assets must be taken individually by the supportive directors. Islamic Banks requires to keep a lowest capital amount that have ratio of 8 percent that depends on jeopardy Assets. Meeezan receives the title of becoming a first full fledged Islamic from State Bank of Pakistan in Jan 2002. Late 2003 Meezan bank ltd has a little set-up of approximately 10 different branches with the 130 million US $ total deposit. In Jan 2003 the SBP issues all the detailed directions setting-up to subsidiary and become only Islamic Bank by the offered profitable institution. Therefore 6 existed commercial Banks that includes 1 overseas bank were allowed to open a separate branch that is based on Islamic rules and regulations. Since June 2004 eight branches of 4 Banks had already started their all working. Islamic Banks were allowed to sustain legislative liquidity requirments and special cash
Page 6

reserves deposited in all accounts with the State bank to utmost degree 40percent of SLR and SCR for the other Banks just because of keeping away the transactions in which riba is involved. Some advancement is observed in the capital market which is considered relevant to Islamization. A large number of Companies issues the (TFC) Term Finance Certificates to elevate the capital that based on Musharikh. So the investor believe that the possibility of loss in proportion to their main amount in the case of operate loss in-curred by the organization. In Sep 2002 SECP also permitted the companies deals in Mudaraba to glide Musharika base TFCs.
Another momentous increase for the period of 2003 was the grant to set-up the SME Mudarba. 20 Mudaraba companies participated and undertook the (SME) business in the small towns and all remote areas. It motivates in resolving the major problems of the individual Mudaraba Companies which dont have wide networks of the branches to achieve the potential clients.
1.1.5) Industry Progress and Market Share: Despite prevailing fragile economic conditions in the country, the industry of Islamic Banking has sustained growth momentum. The economy further disrupt because of the recent Floods in the country. The assets deposts and the financing continue the growth powerfully during the quarter results increase in the total asset to 424 billion Rs from 411 billion Rs. In investments and financing side there is comparatively very less development analytic and hurdles that were in the way of (IBIs) to explore to the fresh investment and financing avenue that arrange the increasing deposit side.

Chapter 5: Conclusion & Recommendations
Page 44

5.1) Conclusion: As we know that there are a large number of Islamic banks present in different countires all over the world and very fewer in Non Muslim countries. In spite of, that it is successfully accepted and also implemented that there are still some problems. And mostly the problems belongs to the finance fields. If the Islamic banks bring only slight changes in all their operations, they will be free from their awkward & uncertain types of financing and they can present a very easy, clean & a very effective interest free banking. As it is a very young concept and ingredient were there, if Islamic banks modifies and utilized only two types of investment the loans with a service charge and Mudarabah, these two are accepted by all the Muslim scholars globally. By offering such modes, the banking system will be effective and will also be a powerful alternate to commercial banking, the world in which both the systems exist. Additionally, by applying a proper Shariah based Islamic system; the systems will have no problem in getting authorized to start functioning in Non Muslim countries. Islamic banking has a good reputation among people because it is growing very strongly from the past few years. The employee earnings is high which requires to be slash downward as number of well trained employees are being loosed due to the poor policies. Their approach and development of their product line, Islamic Banks are powerfully placed to meet up these hurdles and challenges. On the whole banks are doing well but there are some problems present that I have to recommend some suggestions that may help the banks to progress.
Page 45
5.2-Recommendations: Discussion and suggestions Customers have a never ending list of the wants. That is food, clothing, housing and machinery. Entrepreneurs are the only sources which develop means to fulfill these wants. By advertising their products and services, they raise people expectations and they become the customer of the entrepreneur. If the wants are being satisfied according to their expectations, they continue their full-fledge support to the business and hence the enterprise grows. Banks are also a business that fulfills the needs of people that are connected with money, capital and the transferring of funds. As they exist for centuries and they are prospering continually, it means that their methods are good and are also fulfilling customers wants and expectations. Commercial banking system as it functions today is accepted globally except the Islamic countries, as its methods are against Islamic Shariah. The reservation is on the fact that the bank operates on the basis of interest which is completely prohibited in ISLAM. Commercial banks have completely ignored the interest related concerns on the account of Muslims. And Muslims turned to another entrepreneur, which is the Islamic Banker. On the basis of this report, we hereby recommend some suggestions, if these suggestions are fulfilled; the Islamic Banking sector can flourish. Performance Appraisal: As the employees are main basis of an organization, their needs should be the first thing to be catered. The management should evaluate the performance of the employyes and increments and promotions should be recommended on merit basis. Customer relationship: If a person wants to expand his business, he should know the customers and his needs. By their attitude, the relationship with the customers can be improved. And by knowing that what the customer wants, fulfilling those wants in a Shariah based manner, Islamic Banks can flourish. Marketing strategies: Employees should be given proper training for marketing, and proper plans should be built for the promotion of their products and services so that the sale is increased and also the profit of the banks. With the experts guidance, the employees should be trained with the basic concept of marketing and the target market should be properly identified.
