Despite possessing the ingredients, qualification, and the high position in the Islamic world, and despite the great wealth and the domestic demand, still Saudi Arabia is still absent from the competition to be the capital of Islamic banking.
Many have put the blame on Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA) and the Ministry of Finance.
Islamic banking is not officially recognized.

This may be the reason for this: Lack of initiative of the supervisory authorities, namely the
Ministry of Finance and Monetary Foundation to promote this sector and protect it from deviation and enhance its credibility before the world
Weakness of the credibility of Islamic financing instruments as a result of the similarity of Islamic financing to interest-based financing mechanism.
The lack of uniform legislative committee for Islamic banking to determine the pillars and regulations of the Organization of Islamic banking, as well as determine which products can be classified that are compatible with Islamic banking.
Weak academic interest in Islamic banking and the lack of support for the advancement of related research in Islamic.

All banks apply the simple interest formula to calculate the total amount of loan,

Example:
Loan amount is 100000.
Profit margin percentage rate is 2%.
Number of financing years is 5.
The total loan with profit margin is 100000*(1+2%*5)=110000.
Monthly installments equals 110000/60=1833.33
