Disclaimer: this article will explain some important things about halal car insurance for people in UAE, especially Muslims in UAE. This article does not specifically discuss halal car insurance companies in UAE.
Hi all readers! Are you looking for an explanation of halal car insurance in UAE? If your answer is “Yes”, congratulations! Now you are reading the right article. Why? Because that is what I will explain in this article. As Muslims, we must understand that. That's why I wrote this article. So, you should read it to the end!
One important thing I want to explain is that the discussion about halal car insurance in UAE in this article does not specifically discuss halal car insurance companies in UAE. In this article I will only explain some basic things about halal car insurance in UAE according to sharia principles and Islamic rules.
Specifically, there are three important things about halal car insurance in UAE which I will explain in this article. The three important things I mean are as follows:
What Is Halal Car Insurance in UAE?
The first important thing about halal car insurance in UAE that I will explain now is “what is halal car insurance in UAE?”. I want you to understand that first because it is one of the basic things that must be well understood.
There are two important things we must understand first:
Halal car insurance
If we read some Islamic literacy about halal car insurance, we will find an explanation that halal car insurance is an effort to protect and help each other among a number of people. This is done through investments that provide returns to meet certain risks through sharia-compliant agreements.
In halal car insurance there is a system. All halal car insurance participants will contribute if there are other participants who experience losses. In other words, the role of halal car insurance companies is only to take care of operational and investment matters from a number of insurance funds.
The purpose of halal car insurance is the welfare of Muslims, not getting very many benefits like the purpose of conventional insurance.
We can find an explanation that the welfare of Muslims is the main goal of halal car insurance if we understand the meaning of halal car insurance and the criteria of halal car insurance. I will explain the halal car insurance criteria at the end of this article.
In UAE
I guess we all know UAE. UAE is a country. I won't say much about it.
In simple terms, I want to say that what is meant by halal car insurance in UAE is a car insurance or car insurance company that uses sharia principles or Islamic rules as the principle of managing insurance companies and insurance funds.
That's a brief explanation of "what is halal car insurance in UAE?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
Is There Halal Car Insurance in UAE?
The second important thing about halal car insurance in UAE that I will explain now is “is there halal car insurance in UAE?”. I want you to understand that because it is one of the important questions for Muslims about car insurance in UAE that must be well understood.
In the previous few paragraphs, I have explained that halal car insurance is car insurance that uses sharia principles as insurance principles. Halal car insurance makes sharia principles the principles of managing insurance companies and managing insurance funds.
So, if you want to know whether a car insurance company is a halal car insurance company or a conventional car insurance company, you have to understand how they manage the car insurance company. If they make sharia principles the principles of managing insurance companies and insurance funds, then the insurance company is a halal car insurance company. If they do not use sharia principles as the principles for managing insurance companies and insurance funds, then the insurance company is not a halal car insurance company. That's the standard.
So, simply, if you ask me, "is there halal car insurance in UAE?", the answer is that if in UAE there are car insurance companies that make sharia principles or Islamic rules the principles of managing insurance companies and insurance funds, there is halal car insurance in UAE. If in UAE there is no car insurance company that uses sharia principles or Islamic rules as the principle of managing insurance companies and insurance funds, then, there is no halal car insurance in UAE.
That's a brief explanation of "is there halal car insurance in UAE?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
Seven Criteria of Halal Car Insurance in UAE
The third important thing about halal car insurance in UAE that I will explain now is seven criteria of halal car insurance in UAE. I want you to understand all of that because these are some of the important things about halal car insurance in UAE that must be well understood.
In general, there are seven criteria of halal car insurance in UAE:
Tawhid
Tawhid is the first halal car insurance principle in UAE. The point is that halal car insurance is not only aimed at obtaining financial benefits, but also other benefits according to Islamic teachings. Therefore, the main purpose of halal car insurance is the good for Muslims.
Fair
Fair is the second principle of halal car insurance in UAE. The point is that the management of halal car insurance funds in Islam is carried out fairly, not benefiting one party and harming the other party.
Justice is one of the principles of sharia. Muslims must be fair in all things. In the context of insurance, they are also required to be fair.
We can find an explanation that Muslims are required to be fair in all things, and in the context of insurance as a part of their lives, in the hadith below:
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ قُرَيْشًا أَهَمَّهُمْ شَأْنُ الْمَرْأَةِ الْمَخْزُومِيَّةِ الَّتِي سَرَقَتْ فَقَالُوا وَمَنْ يُكَلِّمُ فِيهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا وَمَنْ يَجْتَرِئُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حِبُّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَلَّمَهُ أُسَامَةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَشْفَعُ فِي حَدٍّ مِنْ حُدُودِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَاخْتَطَبَ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَهْلَكَ الَّذِينَ قَبْلَكُمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا سَرَقَ فِيهِمْ الشَّرِيفُ تَرَكُوهُ وَإِذَا سَرَقَ فِيهِمْ الضَّعِيفُ أَقَامُوا عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ وَايْمُ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ سَرَقَتْ لَقَطَعْتُ يَدَهَا
From Aisha, that Quraish were anxious about the Makhzumi woman who had committed theft, they said: Who will speak to the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam about her? Then they said: Who will be bold enough for it but Usamah bin Zaid, the prophet’s (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) friend! So Usamah spoke to him, and the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said: Are you interceding regarding one of the punishments prescribed by Allah? He then got up and gave an address, saying: What destroyed your predecessors was just that when a person of rank among them committed a theft, they left him alone, and when a weak one of them committed a theft, they inflicted the prescribed punishment on him. I swear by Allah that if Fatimah daughter of Muhammad should steal, I would have her hand cut off.
Mutual help
Mutual help is the third principle of halal car insurance in UAE. The point is that the purpose of halal car insurance in Islam is mutual help. In fact, Muslims are required to help each other in all aspects of car.
We can find an explanation that Muslims must help each other in all things, and in the context of insurance as a part of their lives, in the following Quranic verse:
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تُحِلُّوْا شَعَاۤىِٕرَ اللّٰهِ وَلَا الشَّهْرَ الْحَرَامَ وَلَا الْهَدْيَ وَلَا الْقَلَاۤىِٕدَ وَلَآ اٰۤمِّيْنَ الْبَيْتَ الْحَرَامَ يَبْتَغُوْنَ فَضْلًا مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمْ وَرِضْوَانًا ۗوَاِذَا حَلَلْتُمْ فَاصْطَادُوْا ۗوَلَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَاٰنُ قَوْمٍ اَنْ صَدُّوْكُمْ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ اَنْ تَعْتَدُوْاۘ وَتَعَاوَنُوْا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوٰىۖ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوْا عَلَى الْاِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ ۖوَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِيْدُ الْعِقَابِ
O you who have believed, do not violate the rites of Allah or [the sanctity of] the sacred month or [neglect the marking of] the sacrificial animals and garlanding [them] or [violate the safety of] those coming to the Sacred House seeking bounty from their Lord and [His] approval. But when you come out of ihram, then [you may] hunt. And do not let the hatred of a people for having obstructed you from al-Masjid al-Haram lead you to transgress. And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty. (Al-Maidah [5]; 2).
Cooperation
Cooperation is the fourth principle of halal car insurance in UAE. The point is that each party must carry out their respective obligations according to the agreement. So, there is no party that does not fulfill its obligations.
We can find an explanation that Muslims are required to cooperate in all things, and in the context of insurance as a part of their car, in the above verse of the Quran and the hadith below:
عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : الْمُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ كَالْبُنْيَانِ يَشُدُّ بَعْضُهُ بَعْضًا . وَشَبَّكَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ
From Abu Musa radliyallahu anhu, from Prophet (Muhammad), he said, "A believer to another believer is like a building whose different parts enforce each other." The Prophet then clasped his hands with the fingers interlaced (while saying that).
Trust
Trust is the fifth principle of halal car insurance in UAE. The point is that each party trusts the other party to carry out their respective obligations. For example, insurance owners trust insurance companies to manage halal car insurance funds according to Islamic principles.
We can find an explanation that Muslims are required to be trusted or keep their promises, in the context of insurance as a part of their lives in this discussion, in the hadith below:
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْه ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : قَالَ : آيَةُ الْمُنَافِقِ ثَلاَثٌ إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ ، وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ ، وَإِذَا اؤْتُمِنَ خَانَ
From Abu Hurairah radliyallahu anhu, from the Prophet (Muhammad), he said, "The signs of a hypocrite are three: (one) if he speaks, he lies, (two) if he promises, he breaks his promise, (three), if he is trusted, he betrays."
Volunteering
Volunteering is the sixth principle of halal car insurance in UAE. The point is that neither party compels the other party. So, the owner of the halal car insurance must not force the halal car insurance company, and the insurance company must not force the owner of the insurance. Everything must be on a voluntary basis.
We can find an explanation that Muslims should not impose their wishes on others, and in the context of insurance as a part of their lives in this discussion, so that all can volunteer when they do whatever they want in the hadith below:
عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِيْ سُفْيَانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لاَ تُلْحِفُوا فِي الْمَسْأَلَةِ فَوَاللَّهِ لاَ يَسْأَلُنِي أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ شَيْئًا فَتُخْرِجَ لَهُ مَسْأَلَتُهُ مِنِّي شَيْئًا وَأَنَا لَهُ كَارِهٌ فَيُبَارَكَ لَهُ فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتُهُ
From Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan radliyallahu anhuma, he said, "The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, "Do not be importunate in asking (for something), for by Allah, if one of you asked me for something and I gave it to him while I am reluctant, there will be no blessing in what I gave him."
Managing halal car insurance funds according to sharia principles and Islamic rules
Managing halal car insurance funds according to sharia principles and Islamic rules is the seventh principle of halal car insurance in UAE. All funds must be managed in the right way according to Islamic teachings.
We can find an explanation that Muslims must do everything according to Islamic rules, and in the context of insurance as a part of their lives, in the following Quranic verse:
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اَطِيْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِيْعُوا الرَّسُوْلَ وَاُولِى الْاَمْرِ مِنْكُمْۚ فَاِنْ تَنَازَعْتُمْ فِيْ شَيْءٍ فَرُدُّوْهُ اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَالرَّسُوْلِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِۗ ذٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَّاَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيْلًا
O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is the best [way] and best in result. (An-Nisa’ [4]; 59).
That is a brief explanation of halal car insurance criteria in UAE. As Muslims, we must understand that.
