Introduction

Risk exists in every course of life and people are interested to mitigate it. In 1985, the Grand Counsel of Islamic scholars (Majma Fiqh Al-Islami) in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, permitted takaful system as the substitute form of insurance written in conformity with Islamic Sharia. It is a concept of defense for the good of civilization. The Grand Counsel accepted this system as a system of cooperation and joint help but the accurate manner regarding operation of takaful was not discussed as this task was delegated to Islamic scholars and insurance practitioners to resolve the execution plan. Recommendations are given in this study pertaining to solution of enhancing the performance of takaful operators in the world
