Easy Home - Islamic House Finance

Easy Home is a completely interest (Riba) free solution to your home financing needs. Unlike a conventional house loan, Meezan Bank’s Easy Home works through the Diminishing Musharakah where you participate with Meezan Bank in joint ownership of your property. The nature of the contract is co-ownership and not a loan. This is because the transaction is not based on lending and borrowing of money but on joint ownership of a house. Meezan Bank, thus shares the cost of the house being purchased. Creating joint ownership and then gradually transferring ownership to the consumer instead of simply lending money is the major factor that makes Easy Home Shariah-compliant.


With Easy Home you participate with Meezan Bank in joint ownership of your property, where the Bank will provide a certain amount of financing. You agree to a monthly payment to the Bank of which one component is rent for the home, and another for your equity share. In fact, the total monthly payment is reduced regularly as your share in the property grows. When you have made the full investment, which had been agreed upon, you become the sole owner with a clear title to the property.

Payment Plans

UMI Model

  • Easy Home is structured under the concept of Diminishing Musharakah where by Meezan Bank and Customer enter into a Musharakah Agreement and both the parties provide their investments to be utilized for the purposes of purchase/construction/renovation of the property.
  • The Joint ownership is created in the property between Bank & customer by virtue of the Musharakah agreement. (This is based on the principle of Shirkat ul Milk). Bank’s share is divided into units and is given to the customer on rent and customer promises to purchase Bank’s share (units) over the tenure of transaction. The customer purchases the units every month and eventually become the owner of the property.
  • Rental amount is adjusted according to the bank’s share (units) remaining in the property. In UMI , the Musharakah unit price remains constant through out the financing period.

Step-up Model

  • The Step-up Payment plan is introduced for customers who intend to avail maximum financing facility with lower installment. The step up model is based on Shariah-compliant structure of Diminishing Musharakah.
  • In this model, the bank’s share is divided into Musharakah units and in the initial half of the facility tenure, the customer purchases one Musharakah unit from the bank every month and in the later half of the facility tenure, the customer purchases two Musharakah units from the bank every month.
  • Thus the monthly installment during initial years is comparatively lower which is easily affordable. This model is a Shariah-compliant alternative available to the customers who wish to avail maximum financing facility from the Bank.

Profit Rate for Meezan Easy Home

At Meezan Bank, the profit margin is directly correlated to market trends to provide a competitive product to our customers. Shariah allows the use of any conventional market factor as a benchmark to determine the profit rate of a particular product. The mere fact that the applied profit rate of our product is based on similar factors used in determining the applied rate of interest of a mortgage does not render the transaction or the contract invalid from the Shariah perspective, and neither does it make the transaction an interest-bearing one. On the other hand, it is the underlying structure of the product that determines its Shariah compliance.
