Life Insurance
Life insurance is an insurance coverage that pays out a certain amount of money to the insured or their specified beneficiaries upon a certain event such as death of the individual who is insured. This protection is also offered in a Family takaful plan, a Shariah-based approach to protecting you and your family.
The coverage period for life insurance is usually more than a year. So this requires periodic premium payments, either monthly, quarterly or annually.
The risks that are covered by life insurance are:
Premature death
Income during retirement
Illness
The main products of life insurance include:
Whole life
Endowment
Term
Investment-linked
Life annuity plan
