MEEZAN FINANCE
What is Ijarah?
At Meezan Wealth, we are dedicated to providing Sharia-compliant Ijarah finance, an ethical leasing solution that aligns with Islamic principles. Our innovative ijarah financial solutions are designed to help individuals and businesses acquire essential assets without the burden of interest. Whether you are looking for financing for real estate or any other asset, our tailored solutions can meet your unique financial needs.
The Arabic term Ijara means “providing services and goods temporarily for a wage.” The ijara contract involves providing products or services on a lease or rental basis. In the ijara contract, a person or party is given the right to use the object (the usufruct) for a period of time; the owner retains the ownership of the assets.
In Islamic finance, al Ijarah does lead to purchase (Ijara wa Iqtina, or “rent and acquisition”) and usually refers to a leasing contract of property which is leased to a client for stream of rental and purchase payments. ending with a transfer of ownership to the lessee.
This contract conforms with the Australian National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 (NCCP).
The ijara contract is similar to a conventional lease in which the owner rents or leases his property or goods to a lessee for a specified number of periods for a fee. For example, the lessee is responsible for normal maintenance, and the lessor is responsible for major maintenance, just as with many conventional lease contracts. However, the following features of ijara differentiate it from a conventional lease:
The lessor must own the assets for the full lease period.
If the lessee defaults on payments or delays payments, the lessor can’t charge compound interest.
The leased asset’s use is specified in the contract.

Those who consume interest cannot stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity. That is because they say, “Trade is [just] like interest.” But Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interest. So whoever has received an admonition from his Lord and desists may have what is past, and his affair rests with Allah . But whoever returns to [dealing in interest or usury] — those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.
Surah Al-Baqarah [2:2751

How is Ijarah finance
different to banks?
The main difference between buying a property through a Conventional bank and through Meezan Finance is that no exchange of money is taking place and thus no interest is being charged or paid.
The Arabic term Ijarah means Leasing. Hence the property is purchased on behalf of the client and the client leases it from the financier by the mode of regular rental repayments, with the view of taking legal ownership of the property once the payment terms have been met.

- Shariah Compliance:

- Deferred Ownership: The lessee (customer) gains the right to use the asset for a specified period, but ownership remains with the lessor (financing institution).
- Transfer of Ownership: At the end of the lease term, the lessee may have the option to purchase the asset at a predetermined price, effectively transferring ownership.
- Fixed Payments:
- Ijarah contracts typically involve fixed lease payments, providing financial certainty and making budgeting easier.
