What is a premium?
The premium is an amount of money which the Insured is committed to pay in a single payment or successive payments to the Insurer in return for the latter’s commitment to assume liability for the risks insured.

A premium in insurance is a key element and an obligation of the Insured which is incorporated into the contract structure. It makes the insurance contract commutative. Furthermore, the premium is as important as the risk; no insurance without risk and no insurance without premium.

The installment is legally the reason for the Insurer’s obligation to insure the risk; and technically, Insurers depend on installments to settle disaster claims.

What is the difference between traditional insurance, cooperative insurance and Takaful insurance?
Traditional Insurance :

** The insurance premiums they collect are always fixed premiums.
** The aggregate assets of the company constitute the guarantee for the rights of policyholders.

Cooperative Insurance :
** It is practiced by mutual insurance associations (or associations of mutual form) whereby the members of the association identify the risks they face and collect contributions (which were variable as per the loss ratio then they became fixed later).

** Such associations do not operate for profit and do not have capital (except for associations of the mutual form, which have assets (Fond d’etablissement) and their members act as the insurer and the insured at the same time.

** These entities have evolved after they underwrite insurance business for non-members and become a strong competitor to insurance companies.

Takaful (Islamic insurance) :
** The companies engaged in this type of insurance hybrid entities.

** On the one hand, there is a (joint stock) company and there are shareholders who have established the company with the aim of making profit, on the other hand, there are the (participants) Insured who pay contributions to form the (participants’ fund) versus (the shareholders’ fund) .

** The participants’ fund is supposed to pay compensation owed to the participants.
** In the case of insufficient money in the fund, the shareholders’ fund is supposed to provide a Qard Hasan (i.e. interest-free loan) to the participants’ fund.

** The loan will be refunded from the surplus which the participants’ fund may realize in the future.
** In the case of a surplus is realized, it should be distributed to the participants or credited to their accounts to pay future contributions.

** The relationship between the participants’ and the Takaful company is based either on Wakala or Wakala and Mudaraba together (Wakalah to manage the insurance business) and (Mudaraba to manage investment business for the money accumulated in the participants’ fund).
