Islamic Sukuk
This report is simply just a listing of ten different Islamic finance structures and a definition for each.
Terms Defined
Sukuk Al Ijara
This is broadly known to be "the transfer or the usufruct of an asset to another person in exchange for a rent claimed from him." In other words, this structure would be a lease and it is commonly used (Islamic Banker, 2015).
Sukuk Al Salam
This is the general principle that a person selling an item or property has to be in "constructive" possession of the property. A "usual" salam contract involves the purchase of assets by one party once there are agreed terms and delivery (Islamic Banker, 2015).
Sukuk Al Murabaha
This structure is not commonly used. However, it can serve a purpose when it is not possible to define a tangible asset for the purposes of quantifying the underlying investment. A seller sells goods to a customer with deferred payment arrangements (Islamic Banker, 2015).
Sukuk Al Musharaka
This term generally refers to a partnership due to the fact that the word for the arrangement is derived from shirkah. It is an agreement between one or more parties where all of the parties involved make some sort of capital contribution. Contributions can be cash or other assets (Islamic Banker, 2015).
Sukuk Al Mudaraba
Sukuk Al Istisna
Commonly referred to as an Islamic project bond. This structure has nto been widely used. It has certain structural drawbacks despite the fact that it is seemingly optimal for "greenfield" development (Islamic Banker, 2015).
Sukuk Al Wakala
This is the structure where one party is authorized to act on another's behalf. Basically the Islamic version of an employer agent (Islamic Banker, 2015).
Sukuk Al Istithmar
This structure is a broader framework that can include other structures mentioned elsewhere in this list. The word Istithmar means investment…and such arrangements can include underlying murabaha, ijara and other structures (Islamic Banker, 2015).
Sukuk Al Manafa'a
In this structure, the underlying asset is the capacity and/or rights regarding certain commercial activities. The granting of these rights can take on several different forms (JD Supra, 2015).
Hybrid Sukuk
This is simply when one pool of assets is under two or…
Sometimes there is lack of sufficient money available to fund important projects and the price of loanable funds is normally high, showing the paucity of savings. In low-income economies, it is hardly a surprise that savings rates are small, as most disposable income is needed to be used for making purchases of necessities of daily living, and a lot of families just cannot bear to make financial provisioning for
The groom is required to pay a dowry to the bride, as a form of consideration, and the amount is stipulated to within the marital contract. Interestingly, a man may marry up to four women so long as he can treat them all equally. However, a woman may only marry one man. Divorces are allowed, but are easier for a man to initiate than the female. Popular media portrays Islam
The display of the various religious artwork effectively served to reinforce the fact that such faith was the governing power in the land, which the church itself reflected merely in its principle usage as a house of worship. The Hagia Sophia served a similar purpose, as it was built during one of the periods of devastation inflicted upon the Hagia Irene and was also viewed as a symbol of
Islamic Fascism Following a series of terrorist attacks against the United States which culminated in the attacks of September 11th, 2011, the most pressing terrorist threat facing the country is that posed by Islamic Fascism, because it represents a diffuse, dedicated, and ongoing effort to attack the United States as frequently and destructively as possible, whether domestically or abroad. As a result, the United States government has dedicated substantial time and
Friedman considers insourcing to be flattener number eight, because it allows small companies to compete like major supply-chain companies. Insourcing refers to hiring another company to handle a company's supply chain. UPS is the major supplier for insourcing services in the United States. Friedman believes that insourcing flattens in three ways: by letting little companies compete in the global market; by dissolving barriers between companies; and by standardizing business
Dubai In November, 2013, Dubai won the rights to the World Expo 2020, setting into motion a major project that will make a substantial contribution to Dubai's economy and be a catalyst for what the emirate hopes will be the continuation of the economic boom that began two decades ago. Dubai expects that the Expo 2020 will attract 25 million visitors to the emirate over the six months that the Expo will
