Webinar: An Introduction to Takaful Insurance

This session will provide an introduction to Takaful Insurance, often referred to as “Islamic Insurance” which is based on sharia or Islamic religious law. An understanding of this subject is seen by many observers not only as technically desirable, but also as a key element of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in the UK insurance market.

The event will appeal to anyone who works in roles concerning underwriting, claims, business development, product development and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.

• An understanding of what Takaful is
• How it emerged and why it was needed.
• The differences between Takaful and conventional insurance arrangements
• An overview of the different types of Takaful operating models
