Al Baraka Bank (Pakistan) limited offers a wide range of Shariah compliant products and services to cater the different needs of your business. If you need to purchase raw materials for your business or trade in your goods then the followings are the suitable products to meet your business demand.

Murabaha:

Murabaha is a sale of goods/commodities to a customer on a deferred price basis. In Murabaha, Al Baraka purchases a raw material/commodity on behalf of a customer and subsequently sells it to him on an agreed cost and profit basis. Both cost and profit are disclosed and agreed upon with the customer at the time of the sale of goods.

Musawamah Spot:

Musawamah Spot is a transaction where the bank procures the goods from the market through its agent and holds them under the supervision of the bank’s approved Mucaddam. After that, those goods are sold to the customer in tranches or in full as per the requirement against cash/ spot payments, unlike Murabaha where inventory is sold at once on a deferred payment basis and profit is fixed for the tenure. This results in non fixing of the profit for the entire tenure and customer has to pay the profit only from the day of disbursement of financing till the day of sale of goods.

Tijarah:

Tijarah is a short-term financing facility suitable for Exporters/ Corporates who need to generate liquidity by trading in their finished/ manufactured goods. In Tijarah, Bank purchases the finished/manufactured goods from the customer and sells them to the market or exports them. In most cases, the customer is made Bank’s agent to sell the goods in the market or export them.

Istisna:

Istisna is a specific type of sale transaction whereby a commodity is transacted before it is manufactured. It is the contract for manufacturing goods as per particular specifications. Istisna Finance is used to cater the working capital requirements of customers involved in the manufacturing of goods. It is ideally suited for exporters and manufacturers who have export orders.

Ijarah:

The concept of Ijarah is similar to Leasing in conventional Banking. Ijarah is a contract whereby the owner (Bank) of assets transfers its benefits (usufruct) to the customer for an agreed period, at an agreed consideration. In Ijarah, the corpus of the leased asset remains in the ownership of the lessor (Bank) and only its usufruct is transferred to the Lessee (Customer). During the entire term of Ijarah, the Bank being the owner of the assets retains the title of ownership and also, bears all risks and rewards pertaining to ownership. All the risks related to the usage of the assets are borne by the lessee (customer). Ijarah can be availed for the financing of plants, machinery, buildings and all the other fixed assets.

Diminishing Musharaka

Diminishing Musharakah is a commonly used mode of financing for the acquisition of fixed assets. It is a type of Musharakah where the Bank and Customer jointly purchase the asset in defined ratio of ownership. The Bank’s ownership of the asset is divided into a number of units and the customer periodically purchases these units from the bank over a specified period. Over time, the customer purchases all units owned by the bank and becomes the sole owner of the asset.
