Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to critically evaluate the practices of Islamic banks in the light of Islamic ethical values and philosophy of accountability to Allah and society. The paper’s structure comprises history and growth of Islamic banking, evaluation of non-compliance of Islamic banking with PLS modes of financing, emergence of earning management issues in Islamic banking, non-compliance with Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) standards, issue of diverse versions of Islamic rulings (fatwÄ), evaluation of practices against fundamental Islamic philosophy of “accountability to Allah and society†and discussions and concluding remarks for future development of Islamic banking. The findings show that Islamic banks defend their practices by taking Islamic rulings from Sharī‘ah  advisors in order to make them sharī‘ah  compliant not sharī‘ah  based. Profit maximization, availability of a vast range of Islamic rulings, market competition, lack of adequate risk management tools and trust on Islamic banking and meeting the general public expectations caused Islamic banks to comply with debt base modes of financing. Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) comply with International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS), US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), domestic accounting standard or mix of these but do not adopt the AAOIFI standard in their financial reporting. This paper is a value addition in the literature of Islamic finance which suggests what it ought to be. It also discusses the role of the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) and the governments of Islamic countries.
