<![CDATA[Islamic banking or in the international world is commonly referred to as Islamic banking or also known as interest-free banking. The use of the word sharia in the word sharia banking cannot be separated from the origins of the sharia banking system. This is motivated by the pressure on Muslim economists and banking practitioners who want financial services that accommodate financial transactions that run straight with sharia principles in Islam and also moral values. The main factor arises from the practice of prohibiting usury, maysir activities, and also gharar activities. Therefore, Muslim economists and Muslim banking practitioners have created Islamic financial institutions based on the Al-Quran and As-Sunnah whose activities continue to grow. The purpose of this study was to describe the public's understanding of the development of Islamic banking in Environment II, Tanah Seribu Village, South Binjai District, Binjai City.
