    Abstract: The advantage of Sukuk is that they are compliant with shariah principles. Sukuk are therefore
attractive investment instruments for Islamic financial institutions, shariah managed funds and takaful Islamic
insurance companies that can not invest in conventional securities that involve payment of interest or riba. As
well as there are an increasing number of Muslims of high net worth who want their asset holdings to comply
with shariah rules. The main objective of this study is to elucidate and describe the significance of the pricing
mechanisms and rating on Islamic Sukuk.
