He bought this house using a RM1,000,000 Islamic home financing plan attached with Mortgage Reducing Term Takaful (MRTT) for 20 years at 8% profit rate per annum. The current value of similar houses in this area is at RM2,000,000 per unit. Mariam also bought a single terrace house in Kajang 2 years ago using Islamic home financing plan (with MRTT) worth RM250,000 for 25 years at the profit rate of 9% per annum. The current market value of the house is RM300,000 and has been rented out at RM500 per month. Kassim drives an Audi A7 that cost him RM350,000 when he bought it three years ago. He paid RN100,000 as the down payment, and secured a 9-year Islamic hire purchase financing (with Hire Purchase Reducing Term Takaful) to finance its balance with 5% profit rate. Mariam drives herself to school since her office schedule is different than Kassim's. For this, Kassim bought Mariam a Mini Cooper 2 years ago at the price of RM250,000. He took RM50,000 conventional hire purchase loan with 2.5% interest rate for seven years. Other than that, both of them have conventional credit cards with an outstanding balance of RM10,000 far Kassim and RM4,000 for Mariam.
