It is important to understand the basic contracts inIslamic banking in terms of the characteristics based on
the terms and conditions.
In the profit and loss sharing agreements, there are two
main types of contracts which are Musharakah (jointventure profit sharing) and Mudharabah (trustee profit
sharing).
For the contract of sales, exchange goods for money such
as bay‟ al muajjal (example bai‟ al murabahah, bai‟ bithaman ajil, bai‟ al istina, bai‟ al salam,bai‟ as-sarf),
and exchange of services for money such as qard-hassan
(al-ijarah and al-ju‟alah).

The word riba has been used in the Holy Qur’an on several
occasions.
Riba has been extracted from Raba. (increase).
In the Shari’ah, “riba” technically refers to the premium that must
be paid by the borrower to the lender along with the principal
amount as a condition for the loan or for an extension in its
maturity.
In this sense riba has the same meaning as interest in accordance
with the consensus of all jurists without any exception.
So the Holy Qur’an and the Hadith do not make any such difference
between usury and interest.

Riba al-nasi‟ah,
Riba al-fadl.

Islam, however, wishes to eliminate not merely the exploitation
that is intrinsic in the institution of interest, but also that which is
inherent in all forms of unjust exchange in business transactions.
Riba al-fadl is the excess over and above the loan paid in kind. It
lies in the payment of an addition by the debtor to the creditor in
exchange of commodities of the same kind. The following tradition
of the Prophet Muhammad (saw) is cited as evidence. It is related
that Abu Said al-Khurdi said: “the Prophet Muhammad (saw) has
said that gold in return for gold, silver for silver, wheat for wheat,
barley for barley, dates for dates and salt for salt, can be traded if
and only if they are in the same quantity and that is should be hand
to hand. If someone gives more or takes, then he is engaged in riba
and accordingly has committed a sin.”

Riba is prohibited in Islam as it appears explicitly in the Holy Qur’an.There is complete unanimity among all Islamic schools of thoughtregarding the prohibition of riba. Since the Qur’an is the undisputedsource of guidance in Islam for all Muslims, there is unanimousagreement on the fact that Islam has forbidden the practice of riba.The debate on whether interest is riba or not has been settled. The
ulama have made crystal clear that interest is riba. The modernbanking system is organized on the basis of a fixed payment calledinterest. That is why the practices of the modern banking system arein conflict with the principles of Islam which strictly prohibit riba.Islam is opposed to exploitation in every form and stands for fair and
equitable dealings among all men. To charge interest from someonewho is constrained to borrow to meet his essential consumptionrequirement is considered an exploitative practice in Islam. Chargingof interest on loans taken for productive purposes is also prohibitedbecause it is not an equitable form of transaction. Now let’s have a
look on the prohibition of interest in the light of the Qur’an and theSunnah (tradition of Prophet Muhammad (saw).

“ That which ye lay out for increase through the property of
(other) people, will have no increase with Allah: But that which
ye lay out for charity, seeking the countenance of Allah (will
increase): it is these who will get a recompense multiplied” .(30:39)
“That they took riba (usury), through they were forbidden and
that they devoured men’s substance wrongfully – We have
prepared for those among men who reject faith a grievous
punishment. ” (4:161)
“O ye who believe! Devour not usury doubled and multiplied;
but fear Allah, that ye may (really) prosper. ” 3:140)

Jabir reported: The Prophet (saw) cursed the
receiver and the payer of interest, the one who
records it (the contract) and the two witnesses
to the transaction and said, “They are all alike (inguilt). ”
Jabir ibn Abdullah, giving a report on the
Prophet’s farewell pilgrimage, said: The Prophet
(saw), addressed the people and said, “All the
riba al-jahiliyyah is annulled, the first riba that I
annulled is our riba, accruing to al-Abbas ibn
Abdul Mutalib (the Prophet’s uncle). ”

Despite the fact that interest occupies a central position in modern
economic system and that it became the very life blood of the existing
financial institutions, Islam considers that the principle of charging interest
is quite opposite of that of business in the spirit of sharing and cooperation
and that lending on interest is not as a business in the real sense.
In legalizing trade and condemning interest, Islam considers that there are
fundamental differences between the nature of profit resulting from
interest charges and that earned by trade. In interest-based transactions,
there may be no equitable division of profit between the buyer who makes a
profit on the sale of good purchased, and the seller who derives a profit inconsideration of the labour and time spent in procuring the goods.
Moreover, there could be no end for an interest-based transaction, since
there could always be interests of unpaid interests as long as the principle
amount loaned is not fully returned. This could, in extreme cases, create
un-repayable debt for generations.
