There are a number of ruses used in the Muslim world that allow banks and moneylenders to profit from loans.
This is rather interesting, regarding banking among Muslims:

Jews were forbidden to lend money to OTHER JEWS at interest. They could, however, lend money to Gentiles.
Pawnshops can simply claim they are charging a fee for the safekeeping of some valuable object.
The fact is that no one will lend money unless he has some motivation to do so.
Without money lending, capitalism cannot function.
