“Bank Islam believes that the world of banking is about more than just profit. The heart of our business lies in serving people and when this is achieved, symbiotic benefits are realized. By supporting our stakeholders in the environment where they run their business, impart their knowledge, live and work, Bank Islam helps realize a stable society upon which it can then build long‐run successes. As a pioneer Islamic bank which champions the tenets of Islam in particular wealth sharing and promotion of social justice, Bank Islam is committed to corporate responsibility (“CR”). Our goals are to embrace accountability for all our actions and impress a positive impact through CR activities for our employees, customers, communities and the environment. We encourage our employees to voluntarily participate in community projects, designed to build camaraderie & teamwork among the employees and create a sense of belonging.”

ISLAMIC BANKING ISLAMIC BANKING –– AN OVERVIEWAN OVERVIEW
Islamic Banking is based on Shariah Laws. The governing principles are:‐
The absence of interest‐based (riba’) transactions
Avoidance of speculations (gharar)
Avoidance of oppression (zulm)
Promotion of socio‐economic justice via Islamic tax (zakat)
Discouragement of the production of goods and services that are harmful to human kind (ethical business) and contradict the Islamic principles or value (“haram”)
Islamic banks have social obligations towards the community they serve (exist). Each bank has a Zakat (obligatory wealth tax based required by Islam) fund which offers financial assistance to the poor and needy.
Islamic financial institutions have dual accountability role – one to God (in the form of social accountability to society and stakeholders) and one to the contracted party.

SHARIAHSHARIAH
Shariah is the legal aspect of Islam and in the economy sphere, it aims to safeguard all the rights of man.
Men are entrusted to co‐operate with each other in establishing social justice. Hence, all forms of exploitative commerce such as monopoly, hoarding, black‐marketing and all other forms of individual and social aggrandizement have been prohibited.
All forms of crime and all games of chance, such as gambling, lottery and speculation have been prohibited. Besides these restrictions, Islam has provided positive ways whereby man can co‐operate with each other and contribute towards the welfare of the community.
In an Islamic economy, it also stresses equality and absence of bias. It encourages universal interaction of mankind regardless of nationality and languages. The implication of this principle is the emphasis on mutual cooperation and social responsibility of all members of society to one another.

APPRECIATING THE CONCEPTAPPRECIATING THE CONCEPT
Islamic banking is a banking system that performs the same functions as the conventional system but is constrained by the rules of Shariah. It is an interest‐free banking system that relies on profit and loss sharing basis between the bank and its customer.
Riba is sometimes defined as excessive interest, but most Muslim scholars today universally hold it to mean all interest. On the other hand, there are also some Muslim scholars who interpret riba as the increasing of a capital sum before payment — the predetermined return on the use of money. Based on the Quran, transactions based on riba are strictly prohibited. Therefore, the payment or receipt of interest is considered usury and one has committed the very grave sin of haram by accepting riba.
Riba is scorned and forbidden because of its pernicious effects. It is that riba is useless and a reward gained without any productive effort contributed. Its abolition is a consideration of equity — it was intended to protect the poor and weak against exploitation and at the same time to encourage investors and laborers to combine their resources in joint ventures.
For a Muslim, there must be a marriage between money and work, initiative and risk that is just and equal, so that both suppliers and user of capital should have a share in profits and losses. Capital should earn a profit if it is invested in productive enterprise or in the provision of tangible services involving human effort and an element of risk.

In the Qur’an Allah (swt) says:
“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)
“Those who devour usury will not stand except as stands one whom the evil one by his touch hath driven to madness. That is because they say: ‘Trade is like usury.’ But Allah hath permitted trade and forbidden usury. Those who after receiving direction from their Lord, desist, shall be pardoned for the past; their case is for Allah (to judge). But those who repeat (the offence) are
companions of the fire, they will abide therein (forever)” (2:275)
“O you who have attained faith! Remain conscious of God, and give up all outstanding gains from Usury, if you are (truly) believers” (2: 278)

RESPONSIBLE/ETHICAL BANKINGRESPONSIBLE/ETHICAL BANKING
Islamic banking strives for a just, fair and balanced society as envisioned by Islamic economics.
For example, the prevailing practice of interest in the conventional banking system involves injustice to the borrowers since the interest on their loans have to be paid irrespective of the outcomes of their business. Similarly, interest contracts can be unjust to the lenders especially when their returns on deposits, which have been channeled by the banks to the entrepreneurs, do not commensurate the actual performance of the investment (Lewis and Algaud 2001; Iqbal and Molyneux 2005).
Islamic banking is constructed upon the principle of brotherhood and cooperation which stands for a system of equity‐sharing, risk‐sharing and stake‐taking. It promotes such sharing and cooperation between the provider of funds (investor) and the user of funds (entrepreneur).
Thirdly, as a system grounded on ethical and moral framework of the Shariah, Islamic banking is also characterised by ethical norms and social commitments (Ahmad 2000; Mirakhor 2000; Warde 2000). There is a moral filter based on the definition of halal (permissible) and haram (prohibited and undesirable) operating at different levels, carving the conscience of entrepreneur and firm, promoting a positive social climate for society, and providing an expedient legal framework (Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, INTAC 3 2006)
Page 9
RESPONSIBLE/ETHICAL BANKINGRESPONSIBLE/ETHICAL BANKING……contcont
Islamic banks cannot finance any project which conflicts with the moral value system of Islam such as financing a brewery factory, cigarette company, weapon manufacturer, a casino, a night club or any other activity which is prohibited by Islam or known to be detrimental to society.
Islamic banking system has an in‐built dimension that promotes social responsibility, as it resides within a financial trajectory underpinned by the forces of Shariah injunctions. These Shariah injunctions interweave Islamic financial transactions with genuine concern for ethically and socially responsible activities at the same time as prohibiting involvement in illegal activities or those which are detrimental to social and environmental well‐being. (Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, INTAC 3 2006)
Consumers are willing to patronize companies committed to CR related activities and initiatives, such as good ethical behaviors, environmental friendly practices, philanthropic contributions, community commitment and employees’ good and favorable treatments (Brown and Dacin 1997; Creyer and Ross 1997; Ellen, Mohr et al. 2000; Mason 2000; Dawkins and Lewis 2003; Dean 2004).
For Bank Islam, stakeholders expect us to behave socially responsible and become a true model of responsible/ethical banking based on the tenets of Islamic economics.

HONESTY IN TRADEHONESTY IN TRADE
The Quran states: "God has made business lawful for you"
“O my people! Give full measure and full weight in justice, and wrong not people in respect of their goods” (Quran 11:85)
The buyer and the seller have the option of canceling or confirming the bargain unless they separate, and if they spoke the truth and made clear the defects of the goods, then they would be blessed in their bargain, and if they told lies and hid some facts, their bargain would be deprived of Allah’s blessings”.( Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 34, Number 293)
“Woe to those who deal in fraud, those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure, but when they have to give by measure or weight to men give less than due. Do they not think that they will be called to account on a Mighty Day, a Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the Worlds (83:1‐6)
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “O people, Allah is good and He therefore, accepts only that which is good”

Generally, the services and products provided by Islamic banks can be classified into three main categories:
Transactions based on the profit‐loss sharing (PLS) principle. For example, Al‐Mudharabah and Al‐Musharakah;
Transactions based on profit margin or cost‐plus principle like Al¬Murabahah (cost‐plus financing) and Al‐Ijarah (leasing); and
Transactions based on service charges, for instance letters of credit and guarantee, domestic and international money transfer, travelers' cheques, spot foreign exchange deals, and investment management.
On the liability side of the balance sheet, there are three primary types of accounts that are provided for depositors by Islamic banks, namely current accounts, savings accounts and investment accounts.
However, the approach of managing deposit from customers is unique. For example, an Islamic bank operates a current account under the principle of the Al‐Wadiah Yad‐Dhamanah law. The unique feature of these accounts is that the bank should seek permission from the depositors to use the funds for particular projects as long as the money is kept with the bank.

ISLAMIC PRODUCT OFFERINGSISLAMIC PRODUCT OFFERINGS……contcont
Investment deposits are the major source of funds for Islamic banks. The bank accepts deposits from depositors who wish to invest through the bank in the form of investment accounts under the principle of Al‐Mudharabah law or Wakalah.
There are two types of investment accounts, namely General Investment Account and Special Investment Account.
Under the General Investment Account, the bank acts as a manager providing the skills and efforts to manage the funds while depositors provide the needed capital. Both parties will reach an agreement on the profit and loss ratio. If the bank’s investment faces a loss, the depositors will bear the loss – based on Al Mudharabah law.
As for the Special Investment Account, it allows the depositor to specify the manner in which the deposits are to be used by the bank. These special investment depositors are paid from the profit (or loss) of the specific activity in which their deposits were utilized. The Bank is obliged to disclose the performance of the assets.

Payment Holiday Scheme. Customers are entitled to skip instalments for the months of November and December every year until the maturity of the financing tenure i.e. 10 instalments in a year instead of 12. This would help ease the financial burden of customers towards year‐end when they are traditionally faced with higher‐than‐usual cash requirements for back‐to‐school spending, Zakat payment, annual holiday or any other festive season related expenses.
No Payment During Construction. Under this scheme, the repayment of the financing will commence only upon completion of the construction and after delivery of vacant possession by the developer. This would ease the financial burden of house‐buyers who are likely to be servicing monthly rental while the purchased house is under construction.
To reflect our commitment to helping retrenched customers ride out the economic woes, Bank Islam launched the EHSAN Programme. This 12‐month instalment deferment scheme offers special respite to our home financing‐i customers who have been retrenched from 1 July 2008 as a result of the current economic downturn.
Housing Credit Guarantee Scheme or more popularly known as “Skim Jaminan Kredit Perumahan” (“SJKP”): This is a joint community project with the Ministry of Finance (“MOF”) to assist creditworthy individuals who have difficulties to provide evidence to substantiate their income in home financing applications. The response to this scheme has been overwhelming so far with applications coming mainly from farmers, fishermen and sole proprietors of provision shops.

Bank Islam and Universiti Institut Teknologi MARA (UiTM) unveiled a co‐branded Platinum MasterCard known as “Kad Platinum MasterCard Bank Islam ‐ Alumni UiTM” with the objective of funding at least additional 5,000 poor rural students per semester, to study at UiTM.
The co‐branded Platinum MasterCard Card was initiated by Bank Islam as part of its CR programs in support of, and to raise funds for UiTM’s Scholarship Fund called “Tabung Mengubah Destini Anak Bangsa” (“MDAB”), which was mooted by Prime Minister YAB Dato’Sri Mohd Najib Tun Hj Abdul Razak.
The objective of the MDAB Fund is to help poor rural students realise their dreams of furthering their studies at a higher education institution. Through the MDAB Programme, these students would be given the opportunity to pursue their tertiary studies at UiTM.
Dato’ Sri Zukri Samat said at the launch: “This initiative will provide a permanent channel for the thousands of UiTM Alumni members who had benefited from their education at UiTM to give back to UiTM and the society by supporting their former alma mater.
Dato’ Sri Zukri said: “Bank Islam hope that this noble initiative would be supported by the alumni members of UiTM to provide unfortunate students with a life‐long gift of education, which will consequently enrich the quality of the country’s human capital.”

Some of the Islamic concepts that can be applied:Loan (Qard)
It is a loan agreement between a lender and a borrower.
The lender is forbidden to ask for extra payment but the borrower is encouraged to give a token of appreciation.
Trustworthiness (Wadiah Yad‐Amanah)
The borrower is required to produce a returnable collateral to ensure repayment of the loan.
The borrower will entrust the lender to look after his/her belongings during the loan period. If something happens to the collateral item but not due to the lender’s negligence, the lender is not required to replace the item.
The fee for safekeeping (Al‐Ujr)
The lender is allowed to charge a reasonable fee for keeping the pawned items safe and in good condition.
Safekeeping with guarantee (Wadiah Yadhomanah)
The lender will be responsible to replace the missing or stolen items to the owner if he/she fails to comply with the agreement.

Bank Islam’s CR encompasses four core pillars namely, workplace, marketplace, community and environment. Though there are structured programs for each pillar every year, intensive
focus was directed towards community enrichment via the Bank’s ongoing “Projek Bantuan Rumah”, Zakat contributions and the PINTAR program. These efforts were carried out by the Bank with immense support, participation and contribution from its management and employees. These events have drawn the employees closer to the needs of the community
within which we operate. ”
“At Bank Islam, CR goes beyond donations, sponsorships and charity works. Embedding CR practices into our overall business operations, products and services development is our
cultural dedication to leverage for business sustainability, putting forth impactful values for everyone. Intensifying the importance and awareness towards CR significantly drives the
Bank and its employees to greater inspirational heights.”

ABOUT ZAKATABOUT ZAKAT
Zakat (an Islamic religious tax), one of the five pillars of Islam, is giving a fixed portion of one’s wealth to charity, generally to the poor and needy.
Zakat promotes a more equitable redistribution of wealth, and fosters a sense of solidarity amongst members of the Ummah
Zakat is considered to be a religious duty, and is expected to be paid by all practicing Muslims who have the financial means (nisab)
Categories of people (asnaf) who qualify to receive zakat funds, according to the Qu'ran:Those living in absolute poverty (Al‐Fuqarā')
Those who cannot meet their basic needs (Al‐Masākīn)
The zakat collectors themselves (Al‐Āmilīna 'Alaihā)
People whom one is attempting to free from slavery or bondage. Also includes paying ransom or blood money (Diyah). (Fir‐Riqāb)
New brothers/sister of Islam (Muslim Convert), to show them the real spirit of Islam (Muallaf)

Home is where the heart is. Under this project, Bank Islam shows its heart in building and rehabilitating homes for marginalized Malaysians, especially the old and the handicapped. Progressing by phases, the project has already touched lives in Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah & Pahang in previous years.
Case studies of chosen beneficiaries are prepared and studied to ensure that aid is given to those genuinely in need. Some of the families helped in the said states included a handicapped lady with no permanent job to fend for her three children after her husband abandoned them, an orphan working to support his younger handicapped sister and elder sister who is a single mother with a child, and countless senior citizens who are infirm and yet still burdened with dependents.
Many of them scrape a living as rubber tappers, factory workers or odd job workers earning only between RM200 to RM500 monthly. The conditions of their existing homes were heart‐rending. Several were termite invested and falling to pieces when staff visited. Many were just shacks without rooms or toilets and badly damaged roofs and walls, yet still resorted to as a source of shelter.
By providing these abandoned individuals well‐built homes within a close‐knit community, the Bank and its people hope to uplift the quality of their lives by ensuring that they spend their remaining years enjoying independence and the support and friendship of similar comrades.
