What is the difference in HSBC's Amanah Current account and a Conventional Natwest Current account that doesent incur any interest ???

Money from your conventional NATWEST Account can be invested into anything (Halal or Haram), bank then keeps the profit and doesn’t give you. In other accounts you can choose to turn down the Interest (earned) but that doesn’t take the fact away that the primary investment can be in Haram. Money from AMANAH Account CANNOT be invested into anything Haram (as deemed by the scholars of Shariah Panel).
Brother

What about Islamic Bank of Britain?
http://www.islamic-bank.com/islamicb...ome/1/Home.jsp
even if you money is invested in a halal way, your money still makes money for HSBC which is a haram organisation as it deals with interest. Islamic Bank of Britain means your money supports muslims rather than kuffar. Also you can earn "profit" on your savings in Islamic of Britain because they have made it for teh intention of muslims (HSBC and others were worried so rushed out an interest free account which is basically a con).
Does anyone have issue with earning propfit with islamic Bank of Brtain? I have never heard anything but Allahu alim.

W-Salam,
1) HSBC Amanah program (in general) pre-dates Islamic Bank of Britain so they couldn't have rushed out
2) Islamic Bank of Britain gives profit while HSBC Amanah Account doesn't
3) Islamic Bank of Britain deals primarily in commodities while HSBC Amanah doesn't and has no plans to.
So the two Accounts are different.
Is this the same with Lloyds TSB's Islamic account ??


Cud you provide evidences for when the Amanah came out and the IBB came out please rather than stating things as dead facts with no shred of proofs.
If teh shariah says that youare not allowed to deal in commoditiees then Im not aware of this and earning profit is also ok so you are sayng Islamic Bank of Britain is good then brother?
Basically if you invest your money in HSBC whether its a "halal" bank or not your money is still invested in a haram corporation because they deal in interest and not to mention you earn no profit on your cash so your money is stagnant. The Islamic Bank of Britain is the only choice for muslims in my oppinion. If anyone thinks differently feel free to shed some light on this inshallah.
Get ur mortgage wit IBB inshallah. Close ur accounts wit the kuffar and open one wit the mu'mineen inshallah. If its too much hastle then you need to reevaluate your iman and wonder why you convince yourselves into taking the easy route even if it may not be pleasing to Allah.
And Allah Subhanu wa t'ala knows best and may he guide us all to the truth. Amiin
