Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for a premium, and can be thought of as a guaranteed and known small loss to prevent a large, possibly devastating loss. An insurer is a company selling the insurance; an insured or policyholder is the person or entity buying the insurance.

Takaful
( التكافل) is an Islamic insurance concept which is grounded in Islamic muamalat (banking transactions), observing the rules and regulations of Islamic law. This concept has been practiced in various forms for over 1400 years. Muslim jurists acknowledge that the basis of shared responsibility in the system of aquila as practiced between Muslims of Mecca and Medina laid the foundation of mutual insurance.

The principles of Takaful are as follows:
►    Policyholders cooperate among themselves for their common goods.
►    Every policyholder pays his subscription to help those that need assistance.
►    Losses are divided and liabilities spread according to the community pooling system.
►    Uncertainty is eliminated in respect of subscription and compensation.
►    It does not derive advantage at the cost of others.
