MENGAPA MEMILIH TAKAFUL?

APAKAH TAKAFUL?

Takaful adalah skim insurans berasaskan Syariah.

TAKAFUL adalah : “A scheme based on brotherhood, solidarity & mutual assistance which provides for mutual financial aids and assistance to the participants in case of need whereby the participants mutually agree to contribute for that purpose” (Seksyen 2 Akta Takaful Malaysia 1984)

MODEL TAKAFUL IKHLAS

In line with international and local developments in the practice of Islamic financial protection services, Takaful IKHLAS has adopted the Wakalah contract as our system and have modelled our operations accordingly. Wakalah is a form of representative relationship between Takaful IKHLAS and a participant (Principal/Customer).

Takaful IKHLAS employs the following contracts to govern our business:

  • Tabarru’ is a contract where the participant agrees to donate a pre-determined percentage of contribution to the Risk Fund to provide assistance to fellow participants.

  • Wakalah is a contract where the participant authorises Takaful IKHLAS to conduct the affairs of Takaful business i.e providing protection, investment etc. on his/her behalf.

  • Takaful IKHLAS Model allows the use of intermediaries as a medium to better serve the customers’ needs, payment of surpluses and profits, where applicable to participants and calculation of shared benefits on a monthly basis.

Note:
For GRIA, a portion of the contribution in the investment account is set aside for Tabarru’ at the onset which will be dripped to the Risk Fund (RF). Any investment income derived from this amount in the investment account shall be allocated to the Risk Fund (RF). In this instance, IKHLAS will not charge a fund management fee (%). Net surplus distribution will be allocated and administered on an annual basis.
