The most commonly used is where the Sukuk relates to a partial ownership of an asset (Sukuk al-ijarah). Other types of these bonds relate to partial ownership in in a debt (Sukuk murabaha), project (sukuk al-istisna), business (Sukuk al-musharaka), or investment (Sukuk al-istithmar).<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: &quot;Calibri Light&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: &quot;Calibri Light&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><b style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: &quot;Calibri Light&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\">There are five important differences between Sukuk and traditional bonds:<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: &quot;Calibri Light&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\">1.

The assets that back Sukuk are compliant with Shariah. Assets backing bonds may include products or services that are against Islam.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: &quot;Calibri Light&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\">3.

Sukuk can increase in value when the assets increase in value. Profits from bonds correspond to fixed interest, making them Riba.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: &quot;Calibri Light&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\">5. When you sell Sukuk, you are selling ownership in the assets backing them. The sale of bonds is the sale of debt.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><b style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: &quot;Calibri Light&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\">The main advantage of Sukuk over traditional bonds<\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: &quot;Calibri Light&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\">is that their value increases in relationship to the assets backing the Sukuk certificate. If the asset raises in value, then the value of the ownership of that asset, backed by the Sukuk, increases. Bonds do not have this characteristic. It is not possible to raise the main debt in a bond and increase in revenue from a bond is the direct result of the fixed interest rather than in any kind of tangible increase in value or productivity.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><b style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: &quot;Calibri Light&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\"><br \/><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><b style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: &quot;Calibri Light&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\">Osun Sukuk for Education <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: &quot;Calibri Light&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\">Osun issued the first Islamic bond in Nigeria. Osun is one of the largest sub Saharan Africa\u2019s largest economy and cocoa producing state in the South West of Nigeria. Osun received N11.4bsubscrition in November 2013 for seven years.
