COURSE OVERVIEW
Takaful (Arabic: التكافل, sometimes translated as “solidarity” or mutual guarantee) is a cooperative system of reimbursement or repayment in case of loss, organized as an Islamic or sharia-compliant alternative to conventional insurance, which contains riba (usury) and gharar (excessive uncertainty)

Under takaful, people and companies concerned about hazards make regular contributions (“donations”) to be reimbursed or repaid to members in the event of loss, and managed on their behalf by a takaful operator. Like other Islamic finance products, Takaful is grounded in Islamic Muamalat (commercial and civil acts or dealings branch of Islamic law).

The takaful industry had grown to a size of $27.7 billion of “contributions” (from a 2011 figure of $12 billion). The movement has been praised as providing “superior alternatives” to insurance that “reinvigorate human capital, emphasize personal dignity, community self-help, and economic self-development”; but also criticized as having “dwindled” in scope to an industry of “conventional insurance with Arabic terminology and language of contract”.
