Development of Islamic Insurance Indonesia

According to a survey of Karim Business Consulting (KBC), the potential of Islamic insurance market in Indonesia, at least can be classified into three groups of potential, namely:
1. Users who want the Islamic financial products for its insurance transactions actually have Islamic orientation. The number of such users is not too large, given the awareness of insurance products worth sharia still not significant.
2. Users of Islamic financial products that make the shift (switching) from the conventional insurance model. They want profit and benefit more than the value of sharia. The numbers are very dominant and generally come from middle-class.
3. Users of Islamic financial products that have been loyal to conventional insurance products and difficult to move to other models because it feels comfortable and confident. The only cause they make the shift is because the quality of Islamic insurance model is considered equal to or better than conventional models that had been their preference.
Therefore, both the company and its customers, the concept of sharia-based insurance company has to offer and demand by its customers rather than solely on the Islamic-oriented its course, but also consider the business strategy and profit.
Insurance in Islamic literature more nuanced shades of economic or social rather than profit oriented (business profits). This is due to the aspect of helping a primary basis in upholding the practice of insurance in Islam. So when the concept of Islamic insurance is packaged within an organization to profit-oriented company, will result in a merger of two different visions, the vision of the social (social oriented) should be the main foundation and economic vision that became the foundation periphery.
Furthermore Hasanuddin in Gemala (2004) says that,
"The main foundation in building the institutions of Islamic economics in the real level, a sort of banking and insurance is the fulfillment of values; prohibition of usury and bank interest rates, prioritize and promote trade and sale, justice, solidarity and mutual help, and encourage each other to improve performance. Several key principles must exist in an Islamic financial institutions, particularly the principle of usury-free. Thus an Islamic financial institution has not said when in reality still wear flowers as stepping operational instruments "
As said before, that now there are about 30 more Islamic insurance company in Indonesia, where the Islamic insurance industry consists of a pure Islamic insurance company and the whole offer products syar'i and conventional companies that founded the division of sharia or Islamic product offering. Asuransi Takaful Indonesia, as one insurance company who is genuinely stands as the insurer that applies the principles of sharia in the operational systems and management of funds, now compete with conventional insurance companies that offer similar products and services. Like for example Asuransi Allianz Life Indonesia, which has been offering Islamic insurance products but is on a roof with conventional insurance products they have. Indonesia was the first country in which Allianz Asia began to create and offer products of his sharia. This is very interesting, given the conventional insurance company Allianz is a leading in some countries in the world.
Based on this reality will require a study and research on the suitability of the concept of Islamic insurance to practice in both these types of Islamic insurance company, Takaful insurance is a pure Islamic insurance company and insurance company Allianz Life Indonesia as conventional insurance with Islamic products therein.
Based on the above description, the author wants to examine and analyze the extent to which Islamic concepts are actually implemented in the real level, and compare this to the two types of insurance companies who have different backgrounds, through a study entitled

For example by saying," I know it's hard (or you feel uncomfortable), but I'll be with you. Let's try it. "

# Minor compliments are very important

Let your child know how proud you are to progress. "Every opportunity that exists, and especially when your child next to you, comment on the newly acquired skills," said Barack Levin, author of The Diaper Chronicles: A Stay-at-Home Dad's Quest for Raising Great Kids.

# Express your love

Love the parents in turn will help their children develop self-esteem and confidence, said Renee Mosiman, a family therapist and co-author of The Smarter Preschooler: Unlocking Your Child's Intellectual Potential. . Knowing that you're around to supervise and reach out when needed will help your child feel comfortable being around other people. So, occasionally giving hugs and kisses legitimate.

Why Asian Nations lose Creative compared with the Western Nations?


Prof. Ng Aik Kwang from the University of Queensland, in his book "Why Asians Are Less Creative Than Westerners" (2001) that are considered controversial, but turned out to be a "best seller". (Www.idearesort.com/trainers/T01.p) suggested a few things about the peoples of Asia that has opened eyes and minds of many people:

1. For most Asian people, In Their culture, measure of success in life is the amount of material that is owned (house, car, money and other property). Passion (love thdp something) is less appreciated. As a result, less popular areas of creativity, by profession a doctor, lawyer, and the like are considered to be faster to have made a lot of wealth.

2. For Asian people, The number of property Owned by more appreciated than HOW Such acquire property. No wonder if more people liked the stories, novels, soap operas or movies on the theme of poor people suddenly became rich because of luck finding the treasure, or a wife by the prince and the rest of it. Not surprisingly, when corrupt behavior was tolerated / accepted as something natural.

3. For Asian people, identical with the rote-based education "answer key" rather than on understanding. National exam, college entrance tests, etc. all based on memorization. Up to degree level, students must memorize formulas exact science and other arithmetical not directed to understand when and how to use the formula formula.

4. Because the rote-based, students at schools in Asia crammed as much as possible lessons. They are trained to be "Jack of all trades, but master of none" (know a little bit about many things but did not control anything).

5. Because the rote-based, many Asian students could be Olympic champion in Physics, and Mathematics. But hardly ever Asian to win Nobel org or other distinguished international prize-based innovation and creativity.

6. Asians fear one (analogous) and fear of losing. Due to its exploratory nature as efforts to satisfy curiosity and courage to take risks underappreciated.

7. For most Asian nations, said it means stupid, so curiosity has no place in the education process in schools

8. For fear of fear of being wrong and stupid, at school or in seminars or workshops, participants often want to ask but ended the session timeout participants gathered around the teacher / resource person to ask for additional explanation.

Aik Kwang Prof.Ng in his book offers some solutions as follows:

1. Appreciate the process. Appreciate people for his service not because of his wealth. Useless proud pilgrimage or building mosques or schools but the money from the proceeds of corruption.

2. Stop the answer key-based education. Let the students understand the field he likes best.

3. Do not jejali students with a lot of memorization, especially mathematics. For what the calculator was created if the answer to X x Y have to memorize? Let the students choose subjects a little but really mastered

4. Let your child choose a profession based on the Passion (love) him on the field, rather than forcing him to take a particular field or profession who make money faster

5. Primary creativity is curiosity dare to take risks. PLEASE ASK!

6. The teacher is a facilitator, not a god who must know everything. Let's admit with pride that WE DO NOT KNOW!

7. Passion of man is God's gift .. as parents we are responsible for directing our children to find passionnya and support it.

Hopefully by then, we can have children and grandchildren who are creative, innovative but also have integrity and high ideals without corruption
