Al Baraka is a Bahrain-headquartered Islamic banking group. Applying for financing means proving stable income and existing commitments. Convert the statement to Excel so the assessor reads clean, tagged rows.
Convert your Al Baraka statementAl Baraka Banking Group is the largest pan-MENA Sharia-compliant banking group, founded in Bahrain in 1978 by Sheikh Saleh Kamel. When you apply for financing — at Al Baraka or another bank — the assessor needs to see regular income, stable balances, and existing financing commitments. An Al Baraka statement carries all three, but every row is tagged by Sharia product, which a generic reviewer may misread without a clean export.
The assessment looks for two things in particular: recurring salary or revenue inflows that establish repayment capacity, and existing Murabaha or Musharaka instalments that already commit part of that income. Mudaraba profit distributions count as income but are treated as variable, not guaranteed. A clean Excel export with the Sharia tag intact lets the assessor classify each flow correctly instead of guessing.
Al Baraka prints every row with the Sharia product code in the narration. Salary or client revenue arrives with the standard 'تحويل' label and the sender reference — these establish the income base. Existing Murabaha financing instalments appear with 'مرابحة' and a remaining-balance reference; these are the prior commitments the assessor deducts from disposable income.
Mudaraba profit distributions ('توزيع أرباح' or 'مضاربة') arrive on a fixed monthly or quarterly schedule from the deposit-side investment account. The assessor counts them as supplementary income at a discounted weight. The Kashfbank export keeps each tag in the description column so the assessor sorts income from commitments by filtering, not by reading every narration line.
Pull a full 6 to 12 months of statements, tag recurring salary or revenue as the income base, capture every Murabaha and Musharaka instalment as an existing commitment, and preserve the 3-decimal BHD precision so the assessor's debt-burden ratio reconciles to the fils.

Pull 6 to 12 months from Al Baraka Digital
Open Al Baraka Digital and request statements covering the full period the assessor asks for — usually 6 months for personal financing, 12 for larger facilities. PDF is the standard format and the bilingual layout is preserved.
Upload to Kashfbank
Drop each PDF in. The Sharia product tags (Mudaraba, Murabaha, Musharaka) on every row are preserved in the description column. The 3-decimal BHD precision stays intact.
Separate income from existing commitments
Filter by description text. Salary and client revenue form the income base. Murabaha and Musharaka instalments are existing commitments the assessor deducts. Mudaraba profit is supplementary income at a discounted weight.
Hand the assessor a clean tagged Excel file
Export to Excel. The assessor calculates the debt-burden ratio directly from the tagged rows. The 3-decimal BHD totals reconcile against Al Baraka's own summary to the fils.
Common challenges
Will the assessor accept a converted Excel file instead of the PDF?
Most assessors want both — the original PDF for authenticity and a clean tabulated file to work from. The Kashfbank export keeps every Sharia tag and the exact BHD figures, so the Excel matches the PDF row by row. Submit both.
Do existing Murabaha instalments reduce the financing I can get?
Yes. An existing Murabaha or Musharaka instalment is a prior commitment. The assessor deducts it from your monthly income to calculate disposable income and the debt-burden ratio. A clean export makes these instalments easy to total without missing any.
Does Mudaraba profit count as income for the application?
It counts, but most assessors weight it at a discount because profit-sharing distributions vary and are not guaranteed. The Kashfbank export keeps the Mudaraba tag visible so the assessor can apply the variable-income rule deliberately.
Does the export preserve 3-decimal BHD precision?
Yes. 1.250 stays 1.250. The fils-level precision matters because the assessor's debt-burden ratio must reconcile against Al Baraka's own statement summary exactly.
