What is Takaful?
Takaful or Islamic insurance is a pact among a group of participants who agree to contribute to a fund to assist each other in the event of misfortune, similar to the ’Aqilah system which was practised during the time of the Prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him (PBUH).
Is Takaful expensive?
Not everyone has Takaful protection, one of the factors that hinder people from participating in Takaful is they may assume it’s only for those who have the extra money to spend. However, Takaful coverages are made to suit individual’s needs and preference without blowing a hole in one’s wallet. For example,
| Product Takaful | Period | Annual Contribution |
| Comprehensive Home Package Takaful | One year | As low as $50 |
| Personal Accident for Active Life Takaful | One year | As low as $35 |
| Aman Takaful | One year | As low as $8 |
