Due to their commitment to the Shari'a rules of financial transactions, they have limited choice about risk and, thus, it becomes necessary to analyze, manage and control risk.To reduce and resist current and future risk, Islamic banks, in particular, should investigate its types and how to manage them. Upon the great success of such institutions in the banking and financial milieus throughout the world, they are urged to develop their risk management methods.
