    Muhammad Zubair Mughal said that though Takaful industry is prospering in the recent times; however it's

    also facing certain challenges which include: issues regarding re-Takaful, regulatory challenges, competition

    and lack of human capital. These issues can be resolved by employing effective strategies and through

    proper planning. Unfortunately, there is not a single institution in the world which can provide guidance to

    Takaful industry on the above mentioned issues. Hence, to overcome all these challenges and issues of

    Takaful industry, AlHuda CIBE established a Takaful Consultancy Wing. Its principle consultant will be

    Captain Jamil Akhtar Khan who is a renowned and notable personality of Takaful industry. He has theexpertise on Takaful regulatory issues, establishment of Takaful companies and other related departments.

    Captain Jamil Akhtar Khan said that Takaful Consultancy Wing will be an independent institution which will

    provide its services to other organizations for the establishment of new Takaful companies, research,

    advisory, training, re-Takaful, Shariah guidance and other Takaful related matters. It will be a distinguished

    institution because of its services. Justice (r) Khalil Ur Rehman said that Takaful industry was in need of such

    institution from a long time, so that services related to Takaful industry can be provided internationally in an

    efficacious way. He also said that Islamic banking and Takaful are interdependent; hence in order to strength

    the Islamic banking industry, Takaful industry has to be strengthened as well. He was confident that AlHuda
