Introduction:

The guidelines of Islam are not only limited to acts of worship (Ibadaat) but they also cover
other aspects of life which include beliefs (Aqai’d), financial dealings (Muamlaat), social
relationships (Muaashrat) and moral character (Ikhlaqiyat). Accordingly, Islam requires
Muslims to adopt its teachings in a holistic manner encompassing both their individual and
communal spheres of life. In this booklet, we will discuss guidelines pertaining to banking and
financial dealings as Islam stresses upon the correctness and sanctity of financial dealings.
Therefore, as Muslims, it is imperative for us to have a basic understanding about this aspect of
our faith.

As Muslims, it is our responsibility that, in addition to practicing other aspects of our faith, we
follow the guidelines of Islam in our financial dealings as well. Negligence in financial dealings
also negatively impacts the acceptance of other acts of worship (Ibadaat). As per a Hadith,
any charity (sadqa) given from impermissible (haram) earnings is not accepted (Sunun Nasai,
Hadith no. 2526). According to another Hadith, supplication (dua) of that person is not accepted
who consumes from impermissible (haram) earnings (Sahih Muslim, Hadith no. 2346). It is evident
from these narrations that earning in a permissible (halal) manner plays a crucial role in the
acceptance of supplications.

The real success of a Muslim is success in the hereafter (Akhirat). In fact, it is the fear of
accountability in the hereafter that distinguishes a Muslim from other human beings. According to
a Hadith, a person would not be allowed to move from his/her position on the Day of Judgment
until he/she has been asked five questions – two of which pertain to earnings and expenditures
i.e. what was the source of earnings and where was it spent? (Sunan Darami, Hadith no. 556).
Therefore, only a cautious approach in earnings and expenditures can save a Muslim from
punishment in the hereafter.
Need for Islamic Banking

A fundamental question now arises about the reason of existence of Islamic banking i.e. when a
banking system already exists then why suggest a new mechanism? We have addressed this earlier
that, while it is a reality that banking has become a fundamental need for the society, its business
structure is based on the concept of borrowing and lending. Conventional banks fulfill the
financial needs of customers by earning and paying additional amounts on loans (qard) which is
tantamount to interest. On the other hand, when we study Islamic teachings we realize that earning
any additional amount on loan (qard) has been clearly prohibited by Allah Subhana wa Ta’ala in
the Holy Quran. This implies that it is not permissible from the Shariah perspective to fulfill the
banking needs by borrowing and lending on interest (riba). This leads to the need for Islamic
banking so that the banking services can be offered on the basis of Shariah principles.
History of Islamic Banking in Pakistan:

Pakistan got independence in 1947 and the Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, in his speech on
the occasion of inauguration of State Bank of Pakistan on 1st July 1948, aspired to build the
economic and financial system of country in line with injunctions of Islam. He said,

“I shall watch with keenness the work of your Research Organization in evolving banking practices
compatible with Islamic ideas of social and economic life…. The adoption of Western economic
theory and practice will not help us in achieving our goal of creating a happy and contented people.
We must work our destiny in our own way and present to the world an economic system based on
true Islamic concept of equality of manhood and social justice. We will thereby be fulfilling our
mission as Muslims and giving to humanity the message of peace which alone can save and secure
the welfare, happiness and prosperity of mankind. ”

Initially, the research on Islamic finance was undertaken by the eminent Shariah scholars both from
abroad and Pakistan. An Islamic Economic Division was created in the Research Department of SBP
in 1950s and was entrusted to undertake research on Islamic economic system and it also as a
secretariat to Council of Islamic Ideology (CII). Efforts for economy wide elimination of Riba
started in late 1970s and several noteworthy and practical steps were taken in 1980s. Numerous laws
were amended and new laws were enacted to facilitate Islamization of economy during this period in
which State Bank played a major role. In a technical sense it was the most advanced model
compared to any other model being practiced anywhere in the world at that time.

However, the financing procedure based on ‘mark-up’ practiced by banks was declared un-Islamic
by the Federal Shariat Court (FSC) in November 1991 but on appeal to the Shariat Appellate Bench
of Supreme Court the 1991 FSC ruling was suspended till orders of the court. The Supreme Court’s
Shariat Appellate Bench delivered its judgment in December 1999 with the directions that laws
involving interest would cease to have effect by June 30, 2001 and later the date was extended to
June 30, 2002. However, on a review petition filed by a bank, Shariat Bench of the Supreme Court
set aside the previous verdicts on Riba in June 2002 and remanded back the case to Federal Shariat
Court for hearing afresh.

In the mean time, the government decided to promote Islamic banking in a gradual manner as a
parallel and compatible system. The initiative to re-introduce Islamic Banking in Pakistan was
launched in early 2000 to shift to interest free economy through a market driven and flexible
approach, in a phased manner without causing any disruptions. Furthermore it aims at building a
broad based financial system in the country to enable all segments of the population to access
financial services. In this context SBP adopted a three pronged strategy for promotion of Islamic
Banking i.e.

• Permission to establish new full fledged Islamic banks in the private sector,

• Permission to the conventional banks to set up Islamic banking subsidiaries, and

• Permission to the existing conventional banks to open Stand-alone Islamic banking branches.

A comprehensive regulatory framework including Shariah Governance framework has been


introduced for the development of Islamic banking industry on sound footings. SBP has also been
collaborating with local and international financial regulators and infrastructure development
institutions to promote standardization and harmonization in regulatory framework in line with
international best practices, to facilitate the development of Islamic financial services industry
locally and globally.

This new initiative has witnessed a very encouraging response. As currently there are 5 full fledged
licensed Islamic banks (IBs) and 17 conventional banks have licenses to operate dedicated Islamic
banking branches (IBBs)/Islamic Banking Windows (IBWs). All of the five big banks in Pakistan
are providing Islamic banking services. The total assets of the Islamic banking industry are over Rs.
1250 billion as of 31 st December, 2014 which accounts for a market share of 10.4% of total banking
industry assets. The market share of deposits stands at 11.6%. Total branch network of the industry
comprises of more than 1500 branches with presence in over 80 cities & towns covering all the four
provinces of the country and AJK.

The industry over the years has managed to offer a wide array of products encompassing almost the
entire range of Islamic modes of financing that are able to cater to the needs of majority of the
sectors of the economy. The growth of Islamic banking industry has been remarkable.

What is Islamic Banking at MCB?

Islamic banking is defined as a banking system, which is in consonance with the spirit, ethos and
value system of Islam and governed by the principles laid down by the Shari’ah. Interest free
banking is a narrow concept denoting a number of banking instruments or operations which avoid
interest.

Islamic banking, the more general term, is based not only to avoid interest-based transactions
prohibited in Shari’ah but also to avoid unethical and un-social practices. In practical sense, Islamic
Banking is the transformation of conventional money lending into transactions based on tangible
assets and real services.

The model of Islamic banking system leads towards the achievement of a system which helps
achieve economic prosperity.

What is Meant by Riba?

The word “Riba” means excess, increase or addition, which correctly interpreted according to
Shari’ah terminology, implies any excess compensation without due consideration (consideration
does not include time value of money). This definition of Riba is derived from the Quran and is
unanimously accepted by all Islamic scholars.

The Status of Riba has been clarified in the following verses of Quran (Surah Al Baqarah 2:278-9)

“O those who believe; fear Allah and give up what still remains of the Riba if you are believers. But
if you do not do so, then be warned of war from Allah and His Messenger. If you repent even now,
you have the right of the return of your principal; neither will you do wrong nor will you be
wronged.”

What is the philosophy of Islamic banking?

The philosophy of Islamic banking takes the lead from Islamic Shari’ah. According to Islamic
Shari’ah, Islamic banking cannot deal in transactions involving interest/riba (an increase stipulated
or sought over the principal of a loan or debt). Further, they cannot deal in the transactions having
the element of Gharar1 or Maiser2. Moreover, they cannot deal in any transaction, the subject matter
of which is invalid (haram in the eyes of Islam). Islamic banks focus on generating returns through
investment tools which are Shari’ah compliant as well. Islamic Shari’ah links the gain on capital
with its performance.
Operating within the ambit of Shari’ah, the operations of Islamic banking are based on sharing the
risk which may arise through trading and investment activities using contracts of various Islamic
modes of finance. The prohibition of a risk free return and permission of trading, as enshrined in the
Verse 2:275 of the Holy Quran, makes the financial activities asset-backed in an Islamic set-up with
ability to cause ‘value

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

CONCLUSION:

I spent six weeks of my internship in MBL main sadder Hyderabad Branch. During these six
weeks, I felt myself to be a part of bank. Even, this was my first experience of working in a bank,
but I learned a lot from this experience. Based on my experience & observation regarding the
operations and policies of Meezan Bank, I have tried to show some problems and
recommendations for further improvement.

1. The employee turnover is very high which they have to cut down as they are losing a
number of good trained employees due to its poor policy.
2. The year 2010 is expected to offer increased competition in the secured assets business as
more Islamic banks are in the market.
3. Lack of awareness of Islamic banking in general public.
4. The employees usually face work over loaded problems.
5. Lack of job training program for employees.
6. Branches increases but business of Meezan bank may not increase with same speed.
7. Financial information of Meezan bank are not clearly disclose on any media.
8. Work activities among employees were not distributed equally. Some of the employees
are overburdened while some sections are overstaffed.
9. Lack of job rotation that is one of the ways to increase employee job skills.
10. Meezan bank does not provide job security to the employees. Mostly are hired on
contractual basis
11. Congested waiting room for customers.
12. Lack of market (competitors) research.
13. Lack of team work.
14. Lack of new and attractive schemes.
15. Non effective marketing strategy.

SUGGESTIONS:

1. First of all, I would I like to suggest that the bank must pursue a very aggressive
marketing and advertising strategy so that it can create awareness in the general public
about its Islamic products and services
2. Secondly, there is a need for creating satisfaction among employees. They do not feel any
attachment to the organization. There is a requirement for building up their loyalties so
that the bank can curtail the dissatisfaction and turnover among employees.
3. The personnel in the bank should not be overstressed with workload. The workload is of
a destructive level. At that level of load the employees loose all the comfort in their work
and remain tense and frustrated.
4. Job training is a very important aspect that MBL is lacking in. New employees are
recruited directly without any prior training or orientation. The result is that they do not
understand the organizational structure and culture and become frustrated in their start.
This reduces their productivity and efficiency. If such a training programmed is started,
then the new employees would feel more comfortable and adapt easily to the
environment.
5. Meezan Bank Limited should continue to expand its business, by increasing its deposit
portfolio through aggressive market penetration strategies.
6. Meezan Bank Limited needs to improve its website. More information relating to
financial performance of the bank should be available on the website.
7. Management should distribute work equally among different employees.
8. Related jobs should be assigned to the employees so that they can work more efficiently.
9. It is suggested that the employees signed jobs for specific period and than they should
shifted to other department so that they gain knowledge of other jobs.
10. Increase the Size of waiting room.

11. RIBA FREE COMMERCIAL BANKING to be set up in all countries of the world/
Muslims & non-Muslims. This will greatly facilitate international export import trade
without the fear of being involved in any riba dealing.
12. More people must be employed on permanent basis/ providing job security and
satisfaction.
13. MBL should become very specific about its competitors, so that it can understand
whose its competitor is in the first degree and who is in the second degree A research
cell should continuously try to gather information about the present action so its
competitors and expected future actions. So in this way more effective strategies can be
formulated.
14. The worker should be given sense of teamwork and the managers should be trained to
manage the team as a good leader
15. New schemes should be introduced and maximum privileges should be given to
customer, so that to win money market.
16. New marketing strategies should be developed to attract new customers.
