Qard - Qard refers to a contract of lending money by a customer (lender) to a Bank (borrower) where the Bank has an obligation to repay an equivalent replacement amount to the customer. The Bank has the right to utilise the money for its banking activities and is entitled to the benefits or revenues gained from the money that was borrowed.

Tawarruq - Murabahah refers to a sale and purchase of an asset where the acquisition cost and the mark-up are disclosed to the purchaser. A tawarruq consists of two sale and purchase contracts. The first involves the sales of an asset by a seller to a purchaser on a deferred basis. Subsequently, the purchaser of the first sale will sell the same asset to third party on a cash and spot basis.

Murabahah via Tawarruq involves the sale and purchase of an asset (Shariah compliant commodities) with disclosure on the cost of the asset and the profit rate.
