Takaful is an Arabic word that means
“Guaranteeing each other”.ƒ
It is a system of Islamic Insurance based on the
principle of TA‟AWUN (mutual assistance) and
TABARRU‟ (Gift, Give away, donation) where
the risk is shared collectively by the group
VOLUNTARILY.
This is a pact among a group of members or
participants who agree to jointly guarantee
among themselves against loss or damage to any
of them as defined in the pact.
15. Models Of Takaful
Mudarabah Model
Wakalah Model (hybrid of Wakalah &
Mudarabah)
Wakalah based on Waqf Model.
16. Mudarabah Model
ƒ The participant and the operator enter into a
Mudarabah contract from the beginning of the
relation, for indemnification and share of the
underwriting results.
ƒ The Surplus is shared between the participants
and the takaful operator in an agreed ratio.
ƒ This model allows the takaful operator to
share in the underwriting results from operations
as well as the favorable performance returns on
invested premiums
17. Mudarabah Model
Shariah Concerns.
The relation between the participants is that of
tabarru‟ and not Mudarabah, “Profit Sharing”
can‟t be applied here. Donation cannot be
Mudarabah capital
at the same time.
ƒ In a Mudarabah contract, a profit is to be
generated to be distributed. Profit is not the same
as „Surplus‟ (excess pf premiums over
claims, reserves and expenses) and in the
insurance context no definition can be generated
by definition.
18. Mudarabah Model
Shariah Concerns
The sharing in underwriting surplus itself is
something which is similar to making this
into a commercial business venture and not a
mutual contract for assistance and protection.
The requirement to provide Qard Hasanah
(in case of a deficit) in a Mudarabah contract
by definition is against the concept of
Mudarabah which is a profit sharing contract
and a Mudarib cannot be a guarantor.
20. Wakalah Model
Islamic Transaction System is a dynamic system
and in line with current needs of the ummah
(people).
Although the concept and basic principles
outlined by Islam in its Transaction (Muamalat)
system seemed more 'traditional', it can be
processed in a very practical and able means to
meet the financial needs of modern and complex
community.
This is the best part of Islam which holds no
boundaries not only in time but also geography.

of Islamic Transaction system that has been
popularized and its application tailored in
various facilities in the contemporary Islamic

word which means representative.
The fuqaha (jurists' representatives Islamic
scholars) have agreed that the deed must be
in accordance with syara' and must be based
on is permissible according to syara‟ and has
been proved by the Holy Quran.
22. Wakalah Model
The Wakalah contract is made into
Islamic laws shows evidence that
human behavior is weak, cannot live
alone and require one another to
manage the affairs of life. Islam
promotes the use of Wakalah
principles in various fields of activities
as long as they do not conflict with
Islamic laws.
Wakalah contract is divided into
General Wakalah, Special
Wakalah, Paid Wakalah and Unpaid

A Special Wakalah is a representative devoted to
matters such as sale and purchase of homes or
cars, or rental properties such as land, houses and
buildings. Special Wakalah is bound by the matter
or affair devoted to him.
Paid Wakalah is required permissible by Syara'.
Unpaid Wakalah is a representative who works
voluntarily without any form of payment.
24. Wakalah Model
The Wakalah concept is practiced by most of
the takaful operators in Malaysia and this is a
necessary tool to market the takaful products
to the society.
Under the Wakalah system, the
representative is necessarily associated with
four characteristics, Siddiq
(Honesty), Amanah (Trust), Tabligh (Passing
Preaching) and Fatanah (Wise Wisdom).
26. Waqf Model
ƒ In order to eliminate the element of
“Mayser”, the concept of „Waqf‟ and
„Tabarru‟ is incorporated. In relation to this

contributions paid as Tabarru, will be further
