lends from the source of it profit. A bank, thus, is a profit
earning institution.

Debt ratio basically shows that, how much assets are

financed by the debt. It shows that how much an investor is
protected in case of default.

debt financing as compared to previous year.

This ratio is an alternative to the debt ratio. One of

these ratios can be used by the investor. It shows the basic
ratio between debt and equity. This ratio is very high, as we
know that, banks are totally depend on the debt. However
equity also make a part pf its total financing but its very little
as compared to total debt. Due to this reason this ratio is
very high in case of banks.
As this ratio increased gradually, it shows increase in
debt financing as compared to equity.

OVERALL CONCLUSION
Islamic banking is a very young concept. Yet it has already

been implemented as the only system in two Muslim
countries; there are Islamic banks in many Muslim countries
and a few in non-Muslim countries as well. Despite the
successful acceptance there are problems. These problems
are mainly in the area of financing.
With only minor changes in their practices, Islamic banks can

get rid of all their cumbersome, burdensome and sometimes
doubtful forms of financing and offer a clean and efficient
interest-free banking. All the necessary ingredients are
already there. The modified system will make use of only
two forms of financing loans with a service charge and
Mudaraba participatory financing both of which are fully
accepted by all Muslim writers on the subject.
Such a system will offer an effective banking system where

Islamic banking is obligatory and a powerful alternative to
conventional banking where both co-exist. Additionally, such

a system will have no problem in obtaining authorization to
operate in non-Muslim countries.
Participatory financing is a unique feature of Islamic banking,

and can offer responsible financing to socially and
economically relevant development projects. This is an
additional service Islamic banks offer over and above the
traditional services provided by conventional commercial
banks.
