Financing Overview

Under Diminishing Musharaka, Ghazanfar Bank and the customer jointly own the asset, each contributing an agreed share of its value. The customer pays rent (Ijarah) for using the bank's portion and, alongside the rent, periodically purchases units of the bank's share. As the customer's ownership grows, the bank's share - and the rent payable - diminishes, until the customer owns the asset outright. This makes it a fully Shariah-compliant alternative to a conventional mortgage.

    02

    Diminishing Musharaka Principle

    Diminishing Musharaka is structured according to Islamic banking principles. The bank and the customer enter a joint-ownership partnership in the asset; the customer pays rent on the bank's share and gradually purchases that share, ensuring complete Shariah compliance in all operations.

    The rental rate applies only to the bank's share and is reviewed periodically as ownership shifts to the customer. All operations are conducted in accordance with Shariah principles as certified by our Shariah Board.

    • The bank and the customer jointly purchase and own the asset
    • The customer periodically buys the bank's units, increasing their ownership share
    • The customer pays rent (Ijarah) on the bank's remaining share
    • The rent reduces as the bank's share diminishes
    • Full ownership transfers to the customer once all units are purchased
