United Kingdom Takaful organizations
United Kingdom Takaful organizations are Islamic financial institutions that offer insurance based on sharia principles. Unlike conventional insurance, Takaful operates on a cooperation model where members contribute to a shared fund to support those in need, emphasizing mutual responsibility and ethical practices. These organizations avoid interest (riba), gambling (maysir), and uncertainty (gharar). They serve primarily Muslim communities seeking compliant financial solutions, but are open to others who value ethical, participatory, and socially responsible insurance options. Takaful firms in the UK are regulated to ensure transparency, fairness, and adherence to Islamic principles.
