<abstract displayLabel="Summary">While the concept of shari'a-compliant insurance has existed for several decades, it has gained momentum significantly in the past 15 years. Takaful companies have emerged in most Middle East and North Africa (MENA) markets, all seeking to take advantage of this niche and potentially profitable segment.
