Takaful Islamic insurance was initiated as a substitute to conventional insurance companies, which contradict Islamic principles and are banned in Shariah law. Takaful is observed as mutual insurance, where members contribute to a collective fund pool, where the ultimate purpose is not for earning profits, but for collectively sharing the risk burden of the contributing Islamic community, in the event of any unforeseen circumstance.
