Murabaha: Murabaha is a cost-plus-profit financing arrangement where the company purchases goods and sells them to the customer at an agreed-upon profit margin. This mode of financing is commonly used for the purchase of raw materials, machinery, and equipment.
Istisna: Istisna is a contractual agreement for manufacturing goods and commodities. The company uses Istisna for financing construction projects and manufacturing goods.
Diminishing Musharakah: Diminishing Musharakah is a partnership where the company and the customer jointly own an asset. The customer gradually buys out the company's share in the asset, eventually becoming the sole owner. This mode of financing is typically used for home financing and vehicle financing.
Import Murabaha: Import Murabaha is a specific type of Murabaha used for financing imports. The company purchases the imported goods and sells them to the customer. This mode is particularly useful for businesses involved in international trade.
Salam: Salam is a forward contract where the company pays in advance for goods that are to be delivered at a future date. This mode of financing is used for agricultural products and other commodities that are not immediately available.
Musawamah: Musawamah is a general sale contract where the price of the goods is negotiated between the buyer and the seller without disclosing the cost price. This mode is used for general trade financing.
Running Musharaka (Shirkat-ul-Aqd): Running Musharaka is a partnership where both the company and the customer contribute capital to a joint venture. This mode is used for working capital financing and business expansion.
Ijarah: Ijarah is a leasing agreement where the company leases an asset to the customer for a fixed period and rental payments. The ownership of the asset remains with the company, and the customer has the right to use the asset. This mode is commonly used for vehicle leasing, equipment leasing, and real estate leasing.
