Islamic finance, because of one of the Islamic doctrines. Compared with ordinary banks, Islamic does not accept or pay interest. Until today, there are many devout toasts who are more likely to keep their money at home. Islamic finance does not pursue the maximization of interests and will focus on social interests.
