Based on the Islamic concept of Murabaha, INTALEQ Ramadan Promotion offers an array of benefits and features such as competitive profit rates, installment & profit holiday for after 90 days and a host of other benefits.

“Ramadan holds a special significance for our bank, our customers and the community, and we wanted to reflect this by launching a very special offering which reflects the spirit of Ramadan!” said Mr. Faisal Aqil, GM Retail Banking for Emirates Islamic Bank.

Customers can also benefit from tailor-made features designed to suit their wallets like the 72-month repayment periods. This feature gives them the distinct advantage of planning out their finances and simultaneously helps them have an improved lifestyle today with the ease of long-term repayments.

Commenting on the campaign, Abdul Baset Al Janahi, Board member and CEO of Aswaaq, said:

“Aswaaq is renowned for providing everything a customer could want within easy reach of his/her home. Whilst we have very competitive prices all year round we are pleased to announce that this Ramadan we will have further reductions on more than 150 products. As Ramadan is a time for giving and sharing we look forward to serving existing customers as well as welcoming new customers, all of whom can benefit from our wide range of discounts.”

In addition to a wide range of promotions, Aswaaq will also be offering a 20% discount on selected items for WAFA card holders, providing free delivery service for local neighborhoods residents until 26th August, including a range of new dishes at its stores. The ideas for the Ramadan promotions and activities stemmed in part due to the evaluation of customer recommendations and feedback forms.

“We have some great discounts and offers for all the family. For a more authentic and traditional shopping experience, our customers will also be able to buy a selection of homemade traditional dishes, all of which will be made by Emirati women. This will include foods such as Lgimat and Rgag bread,” said Mr. Affan Al Khoori, Director of Merchandise.

Most recently aswaaq has organizing a Ramadan Awareness program for non-Muslim employees to enlighten them more about the importance and holiness of the Holy month to all Muslims.

“Our new range of dishes at the bakery will be available solely during Ramadan. These products, like every other product at aswaaq, are of the highest quality. Not only do they comply with our stringent food and safety procedures but they are also competitively priced, making them affordable snacks for all the family,” said Ebtesam Al Khajah, Food Hygiene Manager.

Other Ramadan promotions and activities include; sending food parcels, including dates, fruites and juices to neighboring villas every day in each Aswaaq community in the holy month, distributing dates, laban and water at the time of Iftar in Aswaaq branches and delivering fruits and sweets to nearby mosques.

Aswaaq community centers are also organizing a variety of activities throughout Ramadan; stories for young children, poetry nights, a coloring event for kids at the aswaaq kids corner, iftar for senior citizens, one iftar for all aswaaq employees per branch and iftar meals sent to staff accommodation once a week. There will also be great offers with 20% on the following days; butchery items on August 19th, fish items and homemade bakery Items (excluding Sufouh) on August 20th and fruit and vegetables on August 21st.
