Historical Origins of Sukuk as a Popular Instrument in Modern Islamic Finance

Abstract

Since the 1980s, a very rapid development has been observed in financing methods called interest-free finance or Islamic finance. sukūk, also called interest-free or Islamic bonds, is undoubtedly one of the leading factors of this development. The main subject of this study is to find out the origins of sukūk in Islamic history. The first examples of sukūk as used in modern Islamic finance appeared in the markets in the late 1970s. For this reason, using the end of the 1970s as a turning point, our study sought an answer to the question of whether there were financial instruments similar to sukūk in the history of Islam before the 1970s, based on the similarities to the functioning of the sukūk types after the 1970s. In our study, although there are differences in various aspects in the history of Islam, it has been seen that there are instruments that are similar to the functioning of sukūk in the modern period in some other respects. Accordingly, it can be said that sukūk is an instrument that has its origins in Islamic history, but has been developed with a new understanding in the modern period.
