Ababil is a fully Shariah-complaint centralized core banking solution, implementing true Shariah principles for all banking transactions. The journey of this application started with its implementation in Islami Bank Bangladesh Ltd. (the biggest private sector bank in Bangladesh). By early 2010 it was being used by Al-Arafah Islami Bank, AB Bank, City Bank, Social Islami Bank and Agrani Bank (a state-owned commercial bank) plus one non-banking financial institution, Hajj Finance Company Ltd.

Products: Ababil integrated, online Islamic banking software

Ababil is a fully Shariah-complaint centralized core banking solution. The system is the flagship product of Millennium which caters to the needs of banks everywhere operating on Islamic Shariah principles. The strength of Ababil is its focus on Shariah-compliant banking - is not sold to conventional bank to maintain its focus toward Islamic banking.
Ababil is an Islamic Shariah-compliant solution, not a by-product of a conventional banking application. The strength of Ababil lies is the fact that the Shariah-based business logic of this product gained maturity with the involvement and input of Sharia Scholars from home and abroad, renowned bankers and field-level users since the inception of the product. It also became robust through repeated field tests.
The main engine of Ababil was designed from the ground up as an Islamic Sharia-complaint solution. Islam prohibits paying and receiving interest (Riba) in any of its financial transaction. On the other hand, the productivity of capital is recognized. As a consequence, providing capital for an economic activity and sharing the resulting profit or loss as well as charging a higher price for deferred payments in trade is permitted in Islam.
In principle, this opens the way to two concepts:
- profit and loss sharing schemes and
- financing techniques based on permissible profits from trade.
