About Takaful
What is the Islamic concept of Takaful?
The word Takaful is derived from the Arabic verb Kafala, which means to guarantee; to help; to take care of one’s needs. Takaful is a system based on the principle of Ta’awun (mutual assistance) and Tabarru (voluntary contribution), where risk is covered by the term and conditions of Waqf fund against loss or damage to any one of the member of the fund. Takaful is based on shared responsibility, brotherhood, solidarity and mutual cooperation.
As a Takaful plan Participant, you may be eligible to receive a share of any declared surplus from the Individual Family Takaful Participants’ Fund. Distribution of the surplus is in accordance with the Takaful Operator’s surplus policy as approved by its Shari’ah Supervisory Board.
FAQs on Takaful
About Takaful
How Does the Takaful Membership Operate?
Takaful model is based on the Wakalah-Waqf principal. Individuals in the community come together for a common purpose and contribute into a Waqf Fund operated by a Takaful Operator to protect themselves against future financial losses.
What is Surplus Sharing?
Surplus sharing is a key concept in Takaful and differentiates Takaful from conventional insurance. In case of any surplus in the Individual Family Takaful Participants’ Fund, the excess funds are distributed among the Participants in proportion of their net contribution to the fund. This surplus amount is given to the Participant in the form of additional units being added to his/her investment account.
How does Takaful work?
Takaful offers two benefits – Savings and Protection. In a Takaful plan, a portion of your contribution (Tabarru’) that you wish to save goes into a waqf fund. Contributors to the fund agree to share defined financial losses to be paid out from waqf fund. This is for the common good of the people participating in the program with the aim of diminishing and spreading serious losses resulting from certain adverse events. The other portion which is the savings portion is invested in Sharia-compliant funds to offer you attractive returns. In short, Takaful provides you with a completely Halal alternative to conventional insurance, so you don’t have to compromise on your religious beliefs.
