Khusan Khasanov, Shohsulton Mirzayev


This article highlights that insurance has become an integral part of the business and financial ecosystem today.

The article analyzes how takaful operates according to Shariah principles, its advantages compared to conventional insurance, and the development of the takaful and retakaful market globally, including its growth indicators and practices in countries like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Malaysia. The lack of legal documents regarding the takaful insurance system in Uzbekistan, bilateral insurance efforts, and the inclusion of mutual insurance development in the civil legislation reform concept approved by Presidential Decree No. F-5464 on April 5, 2019, are also discussed. The article concludes that reforms in Islamic finance and banking are essential for establishing takaful insurance and that the development of a successful Islamic insurance market would contribute to overall economic growth.

Wan Norhayate Wan Daod, Noor Mizan Arifin, Fakhrul Anwar Zainol, Fauzilah Salleh, Erwin Noekman


This article compares the takaful (Islamic insurance) regulations in Malaysia and Indonesia. The research was conducted in five phases, including the development of fundamental principles, industry discussion, and data analysis. Six general takaful companies (three from each country) were selected. The findings revealed that takaful regulations in Malaysia are comprehensively governed by IFSA 2013. In contrast, Indonesia’s UU40 covers both takaful and conventional insurance, with detailed explanations found in POJK. Practitioners suggested that comparing operational issues (such as TOF and POJK) reveals more significant differences. This research provides valuable insights for takaful operators across ASEAN countries.
