The history of Islamic Banking could be dividing in two parts. First: When it still remained an idea, second: When it become a reality –by private initiative in some countries and by law in others. There has always been a desire to establish financial institutions to operate as per the tents of Islamic Shariah. The first attempt in this regard was made in Pakistan during 1950s as a pilot scheme, but unfortunately it didn’t succeed. It was followed by a more successful venture in the form of a local Bank in Egypt (Myt Gant Savings Bank, July, 1963). In 1969 Islamic Bank was got up Malaysia through passing an Act in parliament which is being conducted successfully today.  In 1970, King Faisal, The Government of K.S.A, called a meeting to moderate the banking of Muslim countries in accordance with the loss of Islamic Shariah. In the light of this purpose, on 18th December 1973 the decision of setting up an international Islamic Bank was taken up in the finance ministry of O.I.C, which starts its work on 20th October 1975 in Jeddah. In 1977, Faisal Islamic bank in Sudan, Kuwait Finance Bank House in Kuwait, Faisal Islamic bank in Egypt and Jordan Islamic Bank in 1978 was founded. In 1977, International Association of Islamic bank was founded to create equality among the Islamic Banks of different countries.
