PRESENTATION OUTLINE
▪ Danger
▪ Unexpected Occurrence
▪ Unpleasant Outcome
▪ Undesirable Consequences
▪ Negative Implications
▪ Death and/or Injury
▪ Opportunity
▪ Associated with Insurance/Takaful
• Risk & Uncertainty
• Concept of Risk
• Indeterminacy (at least 2 possible outcomes)
• Adversity (at least one of the outcomes is
undesirable)
• Uncertainty as Doubt
• The feeling of being uncertain/unsure of
potential outcome
• Probability Theory
• Probability – An area or study which
measures the chance of occurrence of a
particular event
• Decision Theory
• Risk decision under condition of uncertainty
Risk Measurement
▪ Using the probability of occurrence of a particular event
through:
▪ Priori probability – is determined when the total number of
outcomes is known. It is based on chance e.g. tossing of a
coin (50:50), rolling of dice (1:6).
▪ Empirical probability – is determined on the basis of
historical data. The more the data, the more realizable the
result. Example, Mortality Table.
▪ Judgmental probability – is determined based on the
judgment of the person predicting the outcome.

Subjective Risk
• Refers to the mental state of an individual who experiences
doubt or worry as to the outcome of a give event.
• Psychological uncertainty that arises from an individual’s mental
attitude or state of mind.
Objective Risk
• More precisely observable-and measureable.
• Probable variation of actual from expected experience
Risk
• Uncertainty, probability or possibility of loss.
• Exposure to danger.
Peril
• Causes or sources of loss e.g. fire, flood, collision, etc.
Hazard
• Condition that increase the chance of loss.
▪ Physical hazard – condition stemming from the material
characteristics of an object e.g. poor mechanical condition of
a car.
▪ Moral hazard – stems from an individual’s mental attitude e.g.
dishonesty
▪ Morale hazard e.g. carelessness

Methods of Dealing with Risk
• Risk Avoidance
• Risk Retention
• Risk Reduction
• Risk Transfer
Risk Avoidance
• Meaning: “Those of you who die and leave widows should bequeath for them a
year’s maintenance without causing them to leave their homes; but if they leave the
Risk residence on their own, there is no blame on you for what they chose for themselves in
a fair way. Allah is Mighty, Wise. Reasonable provisions must also be made for
divorced women. That is an obligation upon those who fear Allah. That’s how Allah
Manageme makes His Revelations clear to you so that you may understand.”
Islamic • Meaning: ”and help each other in righteousness and piety, and help not one another
in sin and transgression….”
• Meaning: “O my sons, do not enter from one door; enter through separate doors.
However, I cannot save you from anything that is predetermined by Allah. To Allah
belongs all judgment. I trust in Him, and in Him shall all the trusting put their trust.”
Protection from Islamic Perspective Lessons of the Hadith
• Meaning: Narrated Abu Musa, The Prophet said, "When the people of Ash'ari tribe ran short of food during
the holy battles, or the food of their families in Medina ran short, they would collect all their remaining food in
one sheet and then distribute it among themselves equally by measuring it with a bowl. So, these people are
from me, and I am from them."
• صلى هللا عليه وسلم قال النبي: )متفق عليه \عن عبادة بن الصامت (رحم هللا امرأ اكتسب طيبا وانفق قصدا قصدا وقدم فضال ليوم فقره وحاجته
Story of Prophet Yusof
Surah Yusuf : 43
Meaning: One day the king said: "I have seen a dream that there are
seven fat cows, whom seven lean cows are eating, and there are
seven green ears of corn and other seven are dry. O people of the
court, tell me the interpretation of this dream if you understand the
meanings of dreams."
Story of Prophet Yusof
Meaning :
Yûsuf said:"You people will keep doing cultivation for seven
consecutive years. During this period whatever you harvest from it only
take that much which is sufficient for your food, and leave the rest in
ears of corn. Then seven very hard years will come. In that period all
this grain will be eaten-up which you will store for that time. If
anything would be saved that will be only what you have reserved (left
in ears of corn).
Communal and Commercial
Approach of Risk Sharing
• Traditional Approaches
• Practices of al-Aqilah by ancient Arab tribes – A pool of
money to pay blood money on behalf of killer to
compensate the heirs of the victim. The contribution to
the pool is made by tribe members.
• Practices of Khairat Kematian by Malaysian Muslims – A
pool of money to pay burial expenses, etc on behalf of
the deceased. The contribution to the pool is made by
the deceased during his lifetime. Usually contributors
belong to a common surau in a residential area.
• Problems with Traditional Approaches
• The fund is not managed by professionals.
• Record keeping is not properly maintained.
• The amount collected is minimal, enough for burial
expenses.
• The participants are limited and restricted – cannot
achieve economy of scale.
• Communal approaches do not satisfy the many needs of
society e.g. loss of income of breadwinner, loss of
property, etc.
• Commercial Approaches
• Arising from shortcomings of traditional communal
approaches, society has come up with commercially
driven approaches known as Takaful scheme.
• Takaful schemes are run by Takaful operators.
• Some Takaful operators run the scheme by way of
Mudharabah, Wakalah or hybrid.
•Commercial companies are better manager
of Takaful scheme because:
• Commercial companies can attract
professional managers with availability
of profit. Continuity of the manager
running the Takaful schemes is more
assured since companies have infinite
life.
• Economies of scale can be achieved as
locality restrictions are overcome. Risks
are better spread with more
participants.
•Takaful operators manage the Takaful schemes. What are the
differences between the operators?
• Overview of Takaful
• The Principles of Takaful
• Applicable Contracts in Takaful
• Takaful Models in Malaysia
Overview of Takaful
• Definition of Takaful
• “If any one does not have compassion toward others then he does
not get any compassion from Allah.” (Bukhari & Muslim)
Mutual help/Solidarity
(Ukhuwah)

➢ “Verily a believer is one who can give security and protection to the life
and property of mankind (Ibn Majah)
➢ “By Allah in Whose power I am under, one will not enter paradise
unless he provides protection to a neighbor in difficulty” (Ahmad)
• This principle comes into play if and when there are two or more
insurance coverage on one risk. It is actually a corollary to the
principle of indemnity whereby the insured should not get more
than what is lost. When the total amount of claim form two or
more insurers exceeds the amount of loss, the insurers will pay
proportionate to their liability.

• Contractual Differences
Shariah Resolution on Insurance
Imam Sayyid Muhammad Amin ibn Sayyid Umar (Ibn Abidin)
Ibn Abidin, Islamic scholar of Hanafi School of Taught issued a Fatwa in 1836 that the
Contract of Exchange applied in conventional insurance does not comply with the contract
of exchange (Muawadhah) as required by the Shariah.
• Insurance is based on buy and sell contract which has created the following
prohibited elements for Takaful:
Riba
Riba Nasi’ah The exchange of ribawi item between insured
(premium) and insurance company (claim
benefits) at different time.
Riba Fadhl The exchange of ribawi item between insured
(premium) and insurance company (claim benefits) at
different quantity.
