- United arab republic
Egypt is a state which includes 94 % of MC and the staying 6 % includes Christian and other community. It was in Egypt where the first IB was introduced viz. Mit Ghamr.
Mit Ghamr was set in 1963 by Ahmed Al Najjar and subsequently stop its operations in 1973 as it was liquidated by the Egyptian authorities. The latter wanted to run IB in Egypt by following the German salvaging theoretical account. To do this undertaking successful, the German were besides ready to assist and eventually Ahmed Al Najjar acquire the official permission from the authorities of Egypt.
The latter did non take Islam as mention fearing that the undertaking will be refused. Therefore, the province and the populace of Egypt was non cognizant of the creative activity behind the bank which was an IB.
Harmonizing to Henry et, al. , 2004, neither the province nor the populace was cognizant that the purpose behind this set up of the bank was an IB but still Mit Ghamr Bank is known as the first IB which encouraged other Muslim states to set up Islamic system.
Henry continue to reason that there is a difference between the First IBs and the IBs of today. The purpose of the first IB is to make full spread in societal and economic life and to back up the hapless by increasing the population consciousness of salvaging and by mobilising their resource. The IBs of today seem to be based on the thought that all other Bankss that is CBs are illicit and to be replaced by IBs. ( Henry et al, 2004 )
Subsequently on, two other Bankss started runing in Egypt which was the International Bank for Investment and Development ( IIBID ) and the Egyptian Saudi Investment Bank ( ESIB ) . The two Bankss was known as the private IBs but the province played a major function in the creative activity and publicity of IB but this creates confusion on the traditional system which is the involvement system. ( Henry 2004 ) .
For Warde in 2000, Egypt is one of the few Islamic states where the top spiritual constitution has approved of involvement based loaning but still as many other states Egypt is one where the authorities doubts the IBS as the province fright that this new system can destabilise the province ( Warde,2000 ) .
Subsequently on CBs in Egypt introduced so called IB subdivisions. This techniques was adapted by 11 comercial bank in eqypt. Their purposes was to vie and weaken the IBs but harmonizing to Ray in 1995 this issue will travel an Islamisation of the banking system. Harmonizing to Henry, IB has non in prctice been the monopoly of the Islamic movemnt nor the monopoly of its laminitiss. Most of the people involved in IB concern are a politcal and some of them move back between IB and CB ( Henry et, al.. , 2004 )

Indonesia is another MC where the population size is 238 million and includes of different community 88 % of Muslim, 8 % of Christian, 2 % of Hindu, 1 % of Buddhist and 1 % belong to other community.
The bulk of the population was Muslim in Indonesia yet this state was non ready for IBS. Later on, this IBS was introduce in Indonesia and was used to equilibrate the delicate cultural, spiritual, political and economic state of affairs.
In 1990, the most powerful Muslim authorization in Indonesia set up the involvement loose based system across the state. After 2 old ages, and IB was introduced viz. the Bank Muamalat Indonesia ( BMI ) . The purpose of this bank is to assist the authorities in the procedure of the national economic state of affairs including the little and average graduated table entrepreneurship. It is besides to be noted that the bulk of the stockholders of BMI was belong to the Non MC. ( Warde,2000 )

Iran with a population of 69 million where 89 % belong to the Shia Muslim, 9 % to the Sunni Muslim and the staying 2 % to the other community.
The war between Iran and Iraq so had a negative impact on the economic system. The urban economic system was weakening since there was tricycle for months which slow down many undertakings like supplying natural stuff and deficit in intermediary trade goods. Therefore many proprietors and directors of big houses decided to go forth the state every bit good as private Bankss and insurance companies. The banking system of Iran was confronting many jobs in 1978 as there was a immense sum of backdown and this caused heavy debt owed by big houses to the Bankss.
In 1983 the jurisprudence of Interest free based banking system was approved by the parliament of Iran. Therefore, under this jurisprudence bank was allowed to run in the net income sharing understanding and can accept involvement free sedimentations and term investing sedimentations.
The term investings deposits that was available can either be short-run that is for three months or can be on long term footing that is for one twelvemonth. Thus bank use their resources in this undertakings and sharing the net income and loss from the depositors financess.
In 1979, Iran started using the Interest based System. To present this system, the state foremost was nationalized of the banking system where commercial Bankss and specialised Bankss were merged and all their operations was supervised by the authorities. In 1980, all foreign Bankss stopped all their activities in Iran and so go on to run subsequently with restricted activities. In add-on the Persian governments started to program set up jurisprudence for the banking system so as to avoid struggles between Bankss.
Between 1982 and 1986, statute law was set up in order to follow IB and so in 1983, the parliament approved of the IBS. Within 1 twelvemonth the authorization was successful to do the bank to change over their sedimentations harmonizing to SL.From 1986 boulder clay now the banking system form portion on the Muslim Government.

( Henry et. al. , 2004 ) .
The thought of IBS was non interested for the taking bank in Jordan but subsequently on Sami Hamoud a Jordonian economic expert was successful to demo that an Islamic is of import in Jordan since the latter was certain that that an involvement free system will execute more expeditiously than a CB.
In 1978, the first IB was set up in Jordan viz. the Jordan IB ( JIB ) and after old ages there was the debut of the Arab IB. But harmonizing to Henry the Arab IB was set up by a CB and is less Islamic than the first 1 that is the Jordan IB ( Henry et.al.,2004 ) .
Henrymentioned that the support of the Islamist was so really of import for the constitution of the JIB as they provide both fiscal aid and Islamic legitimacy But Islamists was afraid of deficiency of direction and invention which was called to be unprofessional. Henry continues to reason that the critic might be unjust and descend from unrealistic outlooks of Islamists ( Henry et. al. , 2004 ) .
