Risk Mitigation Since the beginning, people have tried to protect themselves from risks and resulting losses What is Risk? – Risk is the potential danger that threatens to harm or destroy an object, an event or a person
10
Risk Mitigation Tools Available Risk Mitigation Tools? – Avoid Risk Mitigation: A concept generally misunderstood as Tawwakul. Tawakkaul by definition however is employment of all Halal available means/resources and entrusting Allah SWT with the outcome – Self-Insurance or setting aside contingency money for the rainy day – Conventional Insurance: A commercially viable system but inherently flawed with Shari’ah defined ills such as Riba, Gharar, and Qimar/Maysir – Takaful: A Halal and Ethical alternate to conventional insurance
11
Risk Mitigation in Islam Is the concept of risk mitigation permissible in Islam? – This very concept is not only lawful/permissible in Islam but is in fact encouraged Islamic history is replete with examples featuring activities involving risk mitigation: – Hadith: “Tie the Camel and then Submit to the Will of Allah” – Dhaman Khatr al-Tareeq: A person would undertake another person’s risks without any consideration/fee in return – Dhaman Al-d’ark: A person would influence a sale by promising to compensate for the loss if the subject-matter proved faulty – Aqila: A risk sharing mechanism in which community members pooled their share of Diyat (blood money) The underlying theme in all these examples is the concept of brotherhood and mutual solidarity

Definition of Takaful The word “Takaful” originates from Arabic language. Its root word is “kafala” which means “to guarantee”. Through inflection it changed to “takafala” which means “to help each other” or to “jointly guarantee each other.”
21
The Concept of Takaful Takaful is a community-pooling system in which participants contribute their savings into the common fund to help those who need it most in times of financial difficulty It is based on the concept of brotherhood and mutual solidarity. EXAMPLES: The concept of Takaful is manifested in the system of Baitul Maal, the cooperative societies and the joint-family set ups etc…
