We know, as a true Muslim you hold your beliefs close to your heart. By opting for Albait you can enlighten your soul by following the teachings of the Holy Quran and give faith a home in your heart.
How does Albait work?
Albait is based on the concept of Diminishing Musharaka. Under this concept you and EGIBL enter into a partnership where you and the Bank have joint ownership in the property. As part of the agreement, EGIBL will allow usage of the property to you and you in turn agree to make monthly payments for the use of the property. You also make regular scheduled investments in the partnership to increase your share in the property. Thus, with each payment your ownership in the property grows. Once you have entirely purchased the Bank’s share in the property, you become the free and clear title owner of the house of your dreams.
