Introduction
• The word ‘Takaful’ has been derived from the Arabic root word ‘ Kafala’ meaning ‘mutual guarantee’.
• It is risk-sharing instead of risk-transfer.
• Takaful is a practical manifestation of the Quranic injunction for mutual co-operation and assistance for the common good/benefit.
• It encompasses the predominant elements of social good, brotherhood and solidarity – founded on the core Shariah principles.
• By doing so, one gets benefited – from cradle to grave and even in the Hereafter!
Introduction
Micro-insurance defined:“Risk-pooling products that are designed to be appropriate for
the low-income market in relation to cost, terms, coverage, and delivery mechanisms”.
MicroTakaful refined:“A mechanism to provide Shariah-based protection to the blue
collared, under-privileged individuals at an affordable cost”.
