Abstract

 
Abstract: This article analyzes the essence, key principles, and distinguishing 
features of the Takaful system, a form of insurance compliant with Sharia law. The 
Takaful  model  is  based  on  the  principles  of  mutual  assistance,  risk-sharing,  and 
fairness, and is characterized by its exclusion of elements prohibited in Islamic finance, 
such as interest (riba), gambling (maysir), and uncertainty (gharar). The article also 
examines the practical implementation of the Takaful system in countries like Malaysia 
and Saudi Arabia, and analyzes the opportunities and existing challenges of introducing 
it in Uzbekistan. In conclusion, Takaful is presented as a promising new direction in 
the insurance market, with suggestions for its gradual development in the country.
