ABSTRACT
In Islam, all decisions, activities, policies, strategies and interactions in the economy
are related to human relationships. In the Islamic inancial system, the syariah rules are
considered in all economic activities including investment. Investment is money or capital
commitment for the purchase of inancial instruments or other assets to gain beneits in the
form of interest. Most investment opportunities are interest based but Islamic law strictly
prohibits interest or usury, also called riba in Arabic. The prohibition of riba has led to the
creation of alternatives schemes for the compensation of investment capital. One of the
methods of compensation is by means of proit-sharing and one of the inancial contracts
that internalise proit sharing is mudharabah. It is an investment partnership in which
one party called rab ul mal provides capital while the other party called mudharib brings
labour and effort with the provision of proit sharing in some pre-determined proportions.
This paper uses the model of stochastic mudharabah investment which can be used in
forecasting the proits gain by both two parties in a stock market investment.
Keywords: Investment, mudharabah, stochastic
