Wealth is considered as a
bounty of God and thus not a

Allah says, "God is rich but you

B5L4 Introduction to Personal Finance

 ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE
 In Islam, financial planning is not
just merely a process of acquisition
and accumulating wealth but it has a
broad definition which relates to the
concept of vicegerent (kalifa).

Behold, thy Lord said to the angels:

"I will create a vicegerent on earth."
They said:” Wilt Thou place therein
one who will make mischief therein
and shed blood? - Whilst we do
celebrate Thy praises and glorify Thy
holy (name)?" He said: "I know what
ye know not."
(Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 30)

One of the important sources
of unjustified earnings is
receiving any monetary
advantage in a business
transaction without giving a
just countervalue.”
(Umar Chapra in, ‘Towards a
Just Monetary System’)

B5L4 Introduction to Personal Finance

 INSPIRATION
 Prophet Yusuf a.s persuades
King of Egypt and the citizens to
cultivate crops in 7 years in a
row, then save the efficacious.
Then it comes the difficult year
to the citizens and they can eat
the crops efficacious which they
save from the beginning. While
on the rainy years, they squeeze
grapes. From this situation, King
of Egypt finds out the specialty
of Prophet Yusuf and establishes
him to be finance minister.
Quran (surah Yusuf : 47-49).

B5L4 Introduction to Personal Finance

 CONVENTIONAL FINANCIAL
PLANNING
 conventional approach asks
households to specify how much
they want to spend

 It then determines the amounts of

saving and life insurance needed to
achieve these targets

 This operational level will be

translated in the personal budget in
every stage of creation,
accumulation, protection and
distribution of wealth

 Is not based on syariah

B5L4 Introduction to Personal Finance

 CONVENTIONAL PERSPECTIVE
appear consonant with such
consumption smoothing, the
actual practice of conventional
planning is anything
but consumption smoothing is
the notion that consumers will
spend on average 70 to 80
percent of their pre-retirement
income per year once in
retirement.

Setting spending targets that
are consistent with
consumption smoothing is
incredibly difficult, making
large targeting mistakes

Conventional planning’s use of
spending targets also distorts
its portfolio advice
