-====== Islamic Finance ======
-~~NOTOC~~
-The key difference between conventional and Islamic financing is that, while the time value of money is not permissible in a pure 'cash now for more cash later' transaction, it is <wrap hi>allowed if the financing is an integral part of a real trade in goods</wrap>.
-So while the organisation is <wrap hi>not allowed to lend USD 100,000 in cash now in return for USD 110,000 payable in a year</wrap>, it is <wrap hi>allowed to sell an asset with a market price of USD 100,000 for USD 110,000 payable in a year</wrap>.
-Therefore often described as an <wrap hi>asset-based financing system</wrap>.
-==== Trade Finance ====
-The <wrap hi>key Shariah Contracts used for trade financing are murabaha and salam</wrap>.
-==== Prohibited Practices ====
-  * Riba: Interest or usury((Wucher)), which is strictly prohibited in Islamic finance.
-  * Gharar: Uncertainty or ambiguity in contracts, such as speculative transactions or contracts with unclear terms.
-  * Maisir: Gambling or speculative transactions, where gains are based purely on chance.
-  * Haram Investments: Investments in businesses involved in activities prohibited by Islamic law, such as alcohol, gambling, pork, and unethical industries.
