Why $2 Trillion Is Kept In Banks That Can't Give Interest

[@halfasinteresting]

Welcome to the very cool, very wholesome comments section. So, what makes HAI possible (aside from unbridled capitalism and unrelenting unpaid student intern labor) is the topic suggestions of viewers like you. That's, of course, because I don't want to have to actually do my job, so I make you do it for me. However, being a benevolent tyrant, I reward any successful topic suggestion that we actually use with a free HAI t-shirt (although warning you: turnaround times are really slow on getting them out.) So, suggest your topic here, and maybe your parents will finally be proud of you for having played a part in a somewhat successful video on the internet: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfUdlvw6YgU44J8AnM2U_ZvRMyvh_CUM51LYSqF5nYJB9d1-w/viewform?usp=sf_link

@Steven Victor Neiman The ruling on stock market is very subjective. Islam is 1400 years old and it's rulings on things such as crypto and stock market subject to interpretation of Islamic jurists who gives Fatwah (Opinion) based on Quran and Hadis. To put it simply Islamic jurists can give different judgements which was also established during beginning of video. Some say Stock is Ok and some says it's not Ok. Yeah it's a mess! All we Muslims can do is follow what we feel right on such ambiguous matters and hope God forgives our sins if he exists.

If you see modern countery like iran and you dont see a lots of children you see a lots of adult man because of war that they have (iran iraq war ) but now in iraq and syria its war and they need those childern so i think you understand now. Muslim only can get 4 wife only to support the wido or in past secure the ties between 2 family to stop the war and if you dont know if you get wife they have right to get amount of money that both side agree before marrage anytime then if you dont support you wife with any mean they can sue in court

That's because, as briefly explained, the banks have limited access to many conventional things that banks can do to reduce risk, offset costs or generate income. It's genuinely more expensive to run a Sharia compliant bank than a conventional bank because of this.

[@lak1796]

It's a bit expensive because you know the price up front, no cover-up whatsoever. If you're doing business with conventional bank, the interest rate will float, meaning that you don't really know how much money you'll spend at the end of your loan contract period, so it's very uncertain and that's what shariah law trying to prevent. If the economy is on a dip in the future, or market is crashing for the worst of times, you'll get a lot of trouble because the interest rate will go up high, but any proper shariah bank will not be affected by this.

The Borrower is still indebted to the bank. In interest-free loans the bank is part owner. If the building is destroyed bank loses money. So as a partner, the bank will want to ensure the success of the business. This means insurance would be negotiated with a large bank rather than a small business owner. The bank's contacts can connect the business owner to a network to increase the small business, etc. Saying profit sharing is the same as interest is like saying active income is the same as passive income.

Charging interest is also a sin in the Catholic church, the banking families of Florence would instead charge a late payment fee (coincidentally a percentage of the amount due), and it was expected for people to pay loans back late. If they paid them on time or early, they were blacklisted from all the banks in Europe.

[@achmadramdhan3629]

Great content. Also, I recommend all of you to read this book: Haram Wealth in Contemporary Muamalah by Dr. Erwandi. This book cover almost everything about Islamic financial ruling.

[@Shakeel_._Ahmed]

Arms aren't haram, although many banks might avoid the arms industry for ethical reasons.

[@melvinmathew4171]

"Sharia" is juz the arabic word for law, so when u say "Sharia law", u r juz saying "law law", and yeah as mentioned in the vid, different regions and cultures have different Sharias although u managed to successfully capture the gist of Islmaic finance

[@VitalVampyr]

Think of it like they're saying "Sharia (law)" if that makes you feel better.

[@ahmadfrhan5265]

Islam has 1 sharia and all school of thoughts agree on Islamic law fully but differ in small matters for example is having pets in your house halal or haram but everything is 100% on point from criminal penalty to politics and economics. Do not speak on our behalf

[@reeven1721]

This... feels much more sustainable than interest banking.

[@Muhammet-Kuruoglu]

That is the point. Islamic Law has many overarching goals like protection of wealth or justice in the financial system. It achieves that with these subgoals: transparency, sharing of responsibility/liability/profits, Sustainability, risk resilliance, no exploitation, no predatory practices, etc. Since the point is to protect the wealth of people from unjust transactions, the system does not incentivice profit maximisation. It is beautiful in this way

That’s actually right “murabaha” is basically interest with extra steps the whole Islamic banking thing imho is pretty much financial products that cater to “Muslims” I say that cuz non-Muslims can participate too by in large they are pretty similar to conventional banks but depending on the specific products they offer some people could gain a slightly better advantage when compared to “traditional” banks....then again depends on where u are and what those”traditional” banks offer cuz no one country is exactly similar

I live in ireland and a Muslim friend of mine’s parents bought their house up front because they wouldn’t take out a mortgage, seems pretty crazy.

[@AO00720]

That's not crazy, paying interest on a loan is.

[@cageybee7221]

that is the opposite of crazy. they own their home, the next banking crash won't make them homeless and they aren't paying a massive chunk of their income just to keep their home.

[@Galladeguy21]

[@darius2640]

actually doesnt sound like a bad idea. But its not just Muslims, hundrets of years ago first European banks also had the same problem where Christianity also made it wrong to make interest from your fellow people, bankers quickly skirted around the rules by charging for late payment

[@gildedbear5355]

That's super interesting. I kinda like that setup better. Maybe I should look into an Islamic bank, despite not being a Muslim 8)

[@khappekhappe133]

yeah do you won't be disappointed

[@muhdajmel9473]

There's no need to be a Muslim to be a partner of Islamic banks. In Malaysia, many non-Muslims put their money in Islamic banks too. The whole idea of Islamic Finance is quite interesting such as takaful, khairat, musharakah, etc. Most layman Muslim like me don't study them in depth but I know many who do.

[@gildedbear5355]

@@muhdajmel9473 That's what I figured. I really do appreciate the conceptual difference of the partnership as opposed to just the lender. Though, of course, it likely doesn't make much difference financially 8D Still, I've looked into it a bit for purchasing a home. Not at that point at the moment, but it's definitely something I want to keep in mind.

[@muhdajmel9473]

@@gildedbear5355 It's great to know that you're looking into it. Islamic banks are human institutions that aim to execute their policies in the light of interpreting the Qur'an and the Sunnah. Thus, it is a system prone to weaknesses. So its great you're looking into things first.
