The study conducts a survey among 100 respondents to examine the relationship between customer intentions to use Islamic home financing based of MMP. The study concludes that the MMP has several advantages and cheaper over the BBA for the customer. Apart from being unanimity Shari’ah-compliant, it can be made to keep away from interest completely by means of practicing rental or house price index at the same time as reducing the cost of homes and the duration of financing.
