Wakalah Model:

This Plan is designed using a Wakalah Model as a basis for operating the Tabarru' Fund and the Personal Investment Account (PIA). SALAMA acts as an agent (Wakeel) for the Plan Holders. The role of SALAMA is to manage the Tabarru' Fund in return for a fee. Contributions paid by Plan Holders are invested in a chosen Fund or recorded in their PIA. All the fees, charges and Takaful Donation (Tabarru') are deducted from the PIA using the Unit Price. Your donation (Tabarru'), which is taken monthly from the PIA by Unit deduction, is credited to the Tabarru' Fund. The function of the Tabarru' Fund is to provide protection benefits to Plan Holders or their beneficiaries when a covered event arises. On a yearly basis, any Surplus (any amount left in the Tabarru' Fund after payment of claims and expenses to manage the Tabarru' Fund) may be distributed to Plan Holders and credited to the PIA as additional Units.
