Banking is that Islamic teaching says that money itself has no
intrinsic value, and forbids people from profiting by lending
it, without accepting a level of risk –

To make money from money is prohibited – wealth can only be
generated through legitimate trade and investment.
Any gain relating to this trading is shared between the person
providing the capital and the person providing the expertise.
