Takaful: What Is It?
In takaful Islamic insurance, members invest money in a pool system to insure one another against loss or harm. The foundation of takaful-branded insurance is sharia, or Islamic religious law, which outlines how people should cooperate and defend one another. Takaful policies cover health, life, and general insurance needs.
Since commercial insurance firms are thought to violate Islamic prohibitions —takaful insurance businesses were established as an alternative.
