Islamic Banking

            'Islamic Banking' or 'Islamic Banking' is a developed banking system based on sharia (law) of Islam. Operating system formation is based on the prohibition in Islamic religion to collect or borrow with interest or so-called usury and the prohibition of investment for businesses categorized as haram (ie business relating to the production of food / drink is haraam, efforts are un-Islamic media, etc. ), where this can not be guaranteed by the conventional banking system.

A. History

            Islamic banking first appeared in Egypt without the frills of Islam, because of fears the regime in power at that time would see it as a fundamentalist movement. The leader of this pioneering effort Ahmad El Najjar, took the form of a savings bank based on profit sharing (profit sharing) in the town of Mit Ghamr in 1963. This experiment lasted until 1967, and it was already standing 9 banks with a similar concept in Egypt. These banks, which do not collect or receive interest, most businesses invest in trade and industry directly in the form of a partnership and share the profits with savers.
Still in the same country, in 1971, Nasir Social Bank was established and declared itself as an interest-free commercial bank. Although not mentioned in the deed of establishment of religion or references to the Islamic Shari'a. Islamic Development Bank (IDB) was established in 1974 and sponsored by the countries belonging to the Organization of Islamic Conference, although the major banks are inter-governmental bank aimed to provide funds for development projects in its member countries. IDB provides fee-based financial services and profit-sharing for these countries and explicitly declare themselves, based on Islamic sharia.

She Asia-Pacific, Phillipine Amanah Bank was founded in 1973 by presidential decree, and in Malaysia in 1983 stood Muslim Pilgrims Savings Corporation that aims to help those who want to save money for pilgrimage [[pilgrimage].
In Indonesia, the pioneer of Islamic banking is the Bank Muamalat Indonesia. Established in 1991, the bank was initiated by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) and the government and support from the Association of Indonesian Muslim Intellectuals (ICMI) and several Muslim businessmen. This bank was affected by the monetary crisis in the late 90s that left only a third of its equity capital.

            Comments: This is unfortunate because the lack of knowledge about these principles so that there are still many people who feel less confident and less easy to use facilities located in Bank Syariah principles. In perbankaqn shari'ah has arranged various kinds of transactions that are detrimental to both parties. Because if you let anyone hurt and harmed then it violates the teachings of Islam itself. The principle of shariah banking itself derived from the Quran and Hadith.

            2. The Challenge Fund Management

            The rate of growth of Islamic banking on a global level without a doubt. Assets of Islamic financial institutions in the world is estimated to reach 250 billion U.S. dollars, growing an average of more than 15 percent per year. In Indonesia, Islamic banking business volume during the last five years grew on average 60 percent per year. In 2005, Indonesian Islamic banking book profit of Rp 238.6 billion, up 47 percent from a year earlier. Even so, Indonesia has a very large market potential for Islamic banking, still lags far behind Malaysia.


            Last year, the Malaysian Islamic banking profit print more than one billion ringgit (272 million U.S. dollars). End of March 2006, Islamic banking assets in this neighboring country almost as high as 12 percent of the total assets of national banks. While in Indonesia, Islamic banking assets in March 2006 a new period recorded 1.40 percent of total banking assets. Bank Indonesia predicts, accelerated growth of Islamic banking in Indonesia will start this year.

            Implementation of the policy office channeling, support the government in the form of account management akseleratif pilgrims who will be entrusted on Islamic banking, as well as the presence of new investors will encourage the growth of Islamic finance. Islamic banking consultant, Adiwarman Azwar Karim, argued, the development of Islamic banking, among others, will be marked issuance of Sharia-compliant bonds, or sukuk, which prepared the government.

            A number of foreign banks in Indonesia, such as Citibank and HSBC, and even preparing to welcome the issuance of sukuk to open a business unit of sharia. Meanwhile, a number of investors from the Gulf countries are also preparing to buy banks in Indonesia to be converted into Islamic banks. The criteria selected banks with assets generally relatively small, ranging from Rp 500 billion and Rp 2 trillion. Once converted, the banks sought to syndicate financing large projects, involving a global financial institution.

            The existence of Islamic banking in Indonesia was pioneered by the establishment of Bank Muamalat Indonesia, initiated by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) in order to accommodate the aspirations and opinions in Islamic society have a lot of the opinion that it is haraam because the bank interest, including usury and also to take the precautionary principle attention. When viewed in terms of economic and business value, this represents a major breakthrough because of Indonesia's population of 80% Moslem, of course, is a business with huge potential. Although some people argue that Islamic bank interest was not usurious but avail, because the interest is granted or taken by the bank are small so it will not be harmed or didzolimi each other, but still, for the people of Islam establishment of Islamic banks is huge progress.

            But the Islamic banking system in Indonesia is still not perfect or still a weakness that is still berinduk at Bank Indonesia, the Indonesian government ideally set up specialized financial institution at the same level Islamic Bank Indonesia Bank Indonesia Sharia.


Basic Principles of Islamic Banking Products

            Although Indonesia as a country with the largest Islamic religions, Islamic principled new financial products known to a few years ago and is still very limited. Starting from the banking sector, with the establishment of Bank Muamalat in November 1991. Islamic principles are not only limited to the banking context, but also includes various economic activities and investments, including in the capital markets and insurance.

            You would never hear the term Islamic banks, or, more broadly based economy sharia. Even perhaps, many of you who already use the services of Islamic financial institutions. Some of you there who think Islamic banks only for the Muslim community. Whether this is so, Islamic banks is intended only for the Muslims alone?

Sorry, you are wrong if think like that.


            Bank Syariah actually applies to all persons or Universal. Sharia itself is just a principle or system in accordance with the rules or the teachings of Islam. Anyone can use financial services of Islamic banks.

            When the monetary crisis hit Indonesia in mid 1997, the Islamic system has benefited many people. Surely you remember, at that time, interest rates soar to tens of percent. As a result, a lot of businesses who can not afford. But this phenomenon does not apply to businesses that use funds from Islamic banks. Employers are not required to pay interest up to tens of percent, they simply share the results with Islamic banks. Determination of the percentage for the decision made at the beginning of the loan.

Basic Principles
            The principle of a deposit or simpananâ € "Al-Wadia € ™ ah Al-Wadia € ™ ah can be interpreted as a pure deposit of one party to another party, whether individual or legal entity, which must be preserved and restored whenever the
Care wills.

            Application in banking products, in which the savings bank as receiver to take advantage of this principle which is known in conventional banks with demand deposits. As a consequence, all profits generated from the funds deposited into a bank owned (and vice versa). In return, the depositor gets security guarantees against property, as well as other current account facilities.

            In an increasingly competitive banking world, incentives or bonuses may be granted and this became the policy of the bank concerned. This is done in an effort to stimulate the spirit of community in saving as well as indicators of bank health.

            Giving bonuses is not prohibited by the note was not required previously, and the amount is not specified in nominal or percentage in advance, but it really is a bank policy.
The principle of profit sharing (profit-sharing)

Al-Mudharabah
            Technically, al-mudaraba is a business cooperation contract between two parties, where the first party providing the full (100 percent) in capital, while others become managers. Business profits are divided according to the agreement mudaraba as outlined in the contract, whereas if the loss, borne by capital owners during the loss is not due to negligence on the manager. If the losses due to fraud or negligence caused the manager, the manager should be responsible for the losses.

            Mudaraba transaction patterns, typically applied to financial products and financing. On the funding side, al-mudaraba applied to: savings and time deposits. While on the financing side, al-mudaraba, applied for: working capital financing.
By placing funds in principle al-mudaraba, owner of the funds not earning interest like in conventional banks, but the ratio of the profits. In practice, the ratio for savings ranging from 55 â € "56 percent of the investments made by banks. In the case of conventional banks, the figures were roughly equivalent to 11-12 percent.

            While the financing side, if a trader needs capital to trade then can apply for financing for a result like al-mudaraba. You do this by first calculating the estimated revenue to be gained by customers from the project. For example, from Rp.30 million capital income obtained Rp 5 million / month. Of these revenues should be set aside in advance to savings payback, call it Rp.2 million. the rest is divided between the bank and the customer with an agreement in advance, for example 60 percent for customers and 40 percent for banks.

Al-Musharaka
            In this system there cooperation between two or more parties to a particular business. The parties are working together to contribute capital. Profits or business risks will be shared in accordance with the agreement.

            In this system, contained what is commonly referred to in conventional banks as a means of financing. In concrete terms, if you have a business and want to obtain additional capital, you can use this product al-Musharaka. The core of this pattern is, Islamic banks and you jointly contribute capital that is then used to run the business. The portion of Islamic bank will be treated as investments with an agreed profit sharing. In a conventional bank, such financing is similar to working capital loans.

The principle of Al-Murabaha
            In this scheme, there was a sale and purchase of goods at the original price with the added advantage that the value agreed upon by both parties. The seller in this case should tell that he bought the product price and determine a level of profit as an extra. Suppose you need a loan to purchase a car. In a conventional bank you will be charged interest and you are required to pay monthly installments for a certain time. In the banking sector, interest rates may change.

            In the Islamic banking system, of course, such products are also available. But its not a credit, but use the principle of sale, which is termed the Murabahah. In this regard, Islamic banks will buy the car you want first, then sell it to you. But, because the first Islamic bank bail, so when it sells to you, it costs a little more expensive, as a form of profit for Islamic banks. Because of the advantage of Islamic banks had agreed in front, then the value of mortgage that you pay relatively more permanent.

            Of course there are many more Islamic banking principles, which we described above are the basic principles are commonly known in the Islamic banking.

Differences Islamic Bank
            At a glance when viewed technically, saving money in Islamic banks with conventional banks present there is almost no difference. This is because, both in Islamic banks and conventional banks are required to follow the technical rules of banking in general. However, when observed more in, there are some fundamental differences between them.
            The first difference lies in akadnya. In Islamic banking, all transactions should be based on the contract which is justified by the sharia. Thus, all transactions must follow the rules and regulations that apply on-contract agreement muamalah sharia. In conventional banking, account opening transaction, whether current, savings or time deposit, deposit agreement, but the principle is not deposited in accordance with Islamic rules, for example Wadia € ™ ah, because of demand deposits, savings and time deposits, is paying a fixed rate against the money paid.
           
            The second difference found on the benefits granted. Conventional banks use the concept of cost (cost concept) to calculate profits. That is, the promised interest rate on advances to customers is a cost saver or fees payable by the bank. Therefore, banks should œmenjualâ € â €? other customers (borrowers) with higher interest costs. The difference between them is called spread that indicates whether the company's profit or loss. If the spread is positive, where interest expense is charged to borrowers is higher than the interest given to the depositors, it can be said that the bank make a profit. Opposite is also true.

            Meanwhile, Islamic banks use the profit-sharing approach, meaning that the bank received the funds disbursed to the financing. The benefits of financing is divided in two, to banks and to customers, based on profit sharing agreements in advance.
The third difference is the target of credit / financing. The depositors in the conventional banks do not consciously saved money lent to various businesses, regardless of halal-haram business.

            While in Islamic banks, and deposits from the public distribution is limited by basic principles, namely principles of sharia means that the granting of loans should not be to such illicit business, gambling, drinks are forbidden, pornography and other businesses that are not in accordance with sharia.

            Thus our review this time around perbanak Islamic products. Hopefully this review can increase the knowledge and alternative means of investasi.

The Modal Auxiliary Verbs

The Modal Auxiliary Verbs

The modal auxiliary verbs adalah kata-kata seperti can, will, shall, may, might, should, ought to, must, could yang digunakan bersama dengan kata kerja dan ditempatkan di depan subyek.

The Modal auxiliary verb dan kata kerja yang mengikutinya tidak mengalami perubahan untuk orang dan jumlah
.
The modal auxiliary verb ditempatkan segera sesudah subyek kalimat.

FORM: SUBJECT + THE MODAL AUXILIARY + INFINITIVE

(Positive) They can do it
(Negative) They can not do it
(Questions) Can they do it
?
Short Answer Yes, they can/not, they can’t

Conditionals

The preterite forms can also be used in the apodosis in the conditional mood, such as in counterfactual conditionals: "If you bought a bus pass, you could catch as many buses as you liked without worrying about the cost of the fares." "If he were more polite, he might / would be better liked." In each of these cases, the "if" clause has present time reference despite the past tense form, indicating something contrary to fact, and the main clause has present / future time reference. The time reference of the conditional can be shifted back to the past using the modal + "have" construction: "If they had wanted to do it, they would have done it by now."
There is not always an explicit protasis ("if" clause) in this use: "Someone who likes red and hates yellow would probably prefer strawberries to bananas" means the same as "If someone who liked red and hated yellow were offered a choice of fruit, he or she would probably prefer strawberries to bananas." "I could help you with your work" gives a more tentative sense of ability to help than, say, "I can help you with your work" would. The implied protasis could, depending on the context, be along the lines of "If I wanted to".



Shall and will

Shall is used in many of the same senses as will, though not all dialects use shall productively, and those that use both shall and will generally draw a distinction (though different dialects tend to draw different distinctions). In prescriptive English usage, shall in the first person, singular or plural, indicates mere futurity, but in other persons shows an order, command or prophecy: "Cinderella, you shall go to the ball!" It is, therefore, impossible to make shall questions in these persons. Shall we? makes sense, shall you? does not. Conversely, in prescriptive usage will generally indicates futurity in the second and third persons but modality of willingness/determination in the first person.
In dialects that seldom use shall, will has a number of different uses involving tense, aspect, and modality
  • It can express aspect alone, without implying futurity: In "He will make mistakes, won't he?", the reference is to a tendency in the past, present, and future and as such expresses habitual aspect, with no modality implied.
  • It can express either of two types of modality alone, again without implying futurity: In "That will be John at the door", there is an implication of present time and probabilistic mode, while "You will do it right now" implies obligatory mode.
  • It can express both intentional modality and futurity, as in "I will do it."
  • It can express futurity without modality: "The sun will die in a few billion years."
As with would, the negative form will not negates the main verb but in the intentional mode may also indicate negative intentionality.
Shall is also used in legal and engineering language to write firm laws and specifications as in these examples: "Those convicted of violating this law shall be imprisoned for a term of not less than three years nor more than seven years," and "The electronics assembly shall be able to operate within its specifications over a temperature range of 0 degrees Celsius to 70 degrees Celsius." In both cases, in accordance with prescriptive usage, shall is used in the third person to express determination on the part of the speaker.
golly!" Using shall in second and third persons would indicate some kind of promise about the subject, as in "This shall be revealed to you in good time." This usage is certainly acceptable in the U.S., although shall is used far less frequently. The distinction between the two is often obscured by the contraction 'll, which is the same for both verbs.
In the United States, we seldom use shall for anything other than polite questions (suggesting an element of permission) in the first-person:
  • "Shall we go now?"
  • "Shall I call a doctor for you?"
(In the second sentence, many writers would use should instead, although should is somewhat more tentative than shall.) In the U.S., to express the future tense, the verb will is used in all other cases.
Shall is often used in formal situations (legal or legalistic documents, minutes to meetings, etc.) to express obligation, even with third-person and second-person constructions:
  • The board of directors shall be responsible for payment to stockholders.
  • The college president shall report financial shortfalls to the executive director each semester."

 

Should

Should is commonly used, even in dialects where shall is not. The negation is "should not" (or the contraction "shouldn't").
Should can describe an ideal behaviour or occurrence and imparts a normative meaning to the sentence; for example, "You should never lie" means roughly, "If you always behaved perfectly, you would never lie", so obligatory modality is being expressed. The sentence "If this works, you should not feel a thing" means roughly, "I hope this will work. If it does, you will not feel a thing", so probabilistic modality is being expressed. In dialects that use shall commonly, however, this restriction does not apply; for example, a speaker of such a dialect might say, "If I failed that test, I think I should cry," meaning the same thing as, "If I failed that test, I think I would cry"; here the use of should is for conditional modality.
In some dialects, it is common to replace the subjunctive mood with the modal auxiliary should: "It is important that the law should be passed" (where other dialects would say, "It is important that the law be passed"); likewise "If it should happen, we are prepared for it" or "Should it happen, we are prepared for it" (where early Modern English would say, "If it happen, we are prepared for it," and many dialects of today would say, "If it happens, we are prepared for it" or the subjunctive "If it were to happen, we would be prepared for it.").
Should is usually replaced, nowadays, by would. It is still used, however, to mean "ought to" as in
  • You really shouldn't do that.
  • If you think that was amazing, you should have seen it last night.
In British English and very formal American English, one is apt to hear or read should with the first-person pronouns in expressions of liking such as "I should prefer iced tea" and in tentative expressions of opinion such as
  • I should imagine they'll vote Conservative.
  • I should have thought so.

Would

The contracted form of would is 'd as in "I'd go if I could". The negation is either would not or wouldn't.
As indicated above, would can be used for the conditional mood in main clauses: "I would go if I could".
Would can be used in some forms that are viewed as more formal or polite: for example, "I would like a glass of water" compared with "I want a glass of water"; and "Would you get me a glass of water?" compared with the bare "Get me a glass of water."
Would can also be used for the imperfective aspect in past time. In the sentence "Back then, I would eat early and would walk to school...." "would" signifies not the conditional mood, but rather, repeated past actions in the imperfective aspect (specifically, habitual aspect) and one must use care when translating to other languages.
Furthermore, would can be used to shift the time of perspective of a future event from the present to the past: "In 1982 I knew that in 1986 I would graduate from college.
The meaning of the negated "would" form depends on the particular usage of "would". In its conditional usage, the main verb is negated: "I would not go even if I could" means "I would not-go..." = "I would refrain from going...." However, in the future-of-the-past form, "In 1982 I knew that I would not graduate in 1986" means "...I not-would graduate..." = "...It is not that I would graduate...." Likewise, in the past habitual form, "Back then I would not eat early" does not mean "...I would not-eat early" = "...I would fast early" but rather means "...I not-would eat early" = "...it is not that I would eat early...." In the latter two examples either the modal or the entire verb phrase is being negated.

 

May and might

May and might do not have common negative contractions (equivalents to shan't, won't, can't, couldn't etc.), although mightn't can occur in asking questions. ("Mightn't I come in if I took my muddy boots off?" as a reply to "Don't come in here! You'll get the floor dirty!")
Both forms can be used to express a present time possibility or uncertainty ("That may be."). Might and could can also be used in this sense with no past time meaning. Might and may would carry almost the same meaning in "John is not in the office today, and he could be sick", although may conveys less hesitance (a somewhat higher probability) than do might and could.
May is also used to express irrelevance in spite of certain or likely truth: "He may be taller than I am, but he is certainly not stronger" may mean roughly, "While it is true that he is taller than I am, that does not make a difference, as he is certainly not stronger." (However, it may also mean, "I am not sure whether he is taller than I am, but I am sure that he is not stronger.") This is the meaning in the phrase "Be that as it may." Might can be used in this sense as well.
May or might can be used in the first person to express that future actions are being considered. "I may/might go to the mall later" means that the speaker is thinking about going to the mall; as such it means the same thing as maybe will.
May and might can indicate permission and mild permission respectively: "You may go now", "You might go now if you feel like it." May or might can be used in a question to ask for permission. One who is saying "May I use your phone?” is asking for permission to use the phone of the person being spoken to. "Can" or "could" can be used instead, although formal American English prefers "may". In both cases the preterite form is viewed as more hesitant or polite.
The meaning of the negated "may" or "might" form depends on the usage of the modal. When possibility is indicated, the main verb is negated: "That may/might not be" means "That may/might not-be" = "That may fail to be true." But when the modality of permission is being used, the modal or the entire verb phrase is negated: "You may not go now" does not mean "You may not-go now" = "You may stay now", but rather means "You not-may go now" = "You are forbidden to go now." Sometimes, though, the main verb is negated by putting stress on both "not" and the main verb: "You may go or not go, whichever you wish."

 

Can and could

The negation of can is the single word "cannot", occasionally written as two words "can not" or the contraction "can't". The negation of could is "could not", or "couldn't".
Can is used to express ability. "I can speak English" means "I am able to speak English", or "I know how to speak English".
It is also used to express that some state of affairs is possible, without referring to the ability of a person to do something: "There can be a very strong rivalry between siblings" can have the same meaning as "There is sometimes a very strong rivalry between siblings".
Cannot and can't can be used to express beliefs about situations: "He cannot have left already; why would he want to get there so early?" expresses with less certainty the same proposition as "He has not left already" does.
Both can and could can be used to make requests: "Can you pass me the cheese?" means "Please pass me the cheese". Could can be used in the same way, and might be considered more polite.
Informally, can is frequently used to mean may in the sense of permission: "You can go now."
The form could can indicate either the modality of ability in the preterite (past) (= was able to) ("I could swim when I was five years old"), the modality of permission in the past (= was permitted to) ("My mother said that I could go swimming"), the modality of possibility in the present (=maybe) ("It could be raining now"), or conditional modality in the present (= would be able to) ("I could do it if you would let me").
The negative forms virtually always negate the modal or entire verb phrase, and never just the main verb: "I cannot speak English" = "I am not able to speak English"; "You cannot go now" = "You are not allowed to go now"; "He could not do that" implying either permission or ability means "He was not allowed/able to do that." Rarely, the main verb is negated by putting stress on "not" and the main verb: "I could not do that, but I'm going to do it anyway."
Must has no corresponding preterite form. The negation is "must not" or "mustn't". An archaic variant is the word mote, as used in the expression "so mote it be".
Must and have to are used to express that something is obligatory ("He must leave"; "He has to leave"). Must can be used to express a prohibition such as "You must not smoke in here", or a resolution such as "I mustn't make that mistake again".
There is a distinction between "must" and "have to" in the negative forms: "must not" negates the main verb, while "do not have to" negates "have to". In the sentence "You must not go" = "You must not-go", it is being expressed that it is obligatory for the person being spoken to not go; whereas in the sentence "You do not have to go" it is being expressed that it is not obligatory for the person to go.
Must and have to can also be used to express strongly held beliefs (the epistemic rather than deontic use), such as "It must be here somewhere" or "It has to be here somewhere", with the same meaning as "I believe that it's very likely that it is here somewhere."

 

Ought to and had better

Ought to and had better are used to express an ideal behavior or occurrence or suggested obligation, in a similar way to should. The negations are, respectively, ought not to (or rarely, oughtn't to) and had better not. The "had" in "had better" can be contracted, such as "You'd better shut up." In informal American usage, the had in had better is sometimes omitted. The negative forms negate the main verb: "You ought not to do that" = "You ought to refrain from doing that"; "You'd better not do that" = "You'd better refrain from doing that."
In addition, ought to, like should, can be used to express relatively high probability, as in "It ought to rain today."

 

Dare and need

Dare and need are not commonly used as auxiliaries nowadays, but formerly they both were. Neither is used in affirmative declarative sentences. An example in an exclamation is "How dare he!", expressing willingness in the face of fear or contrary obligation. The interrogative form "Dare he do it?" or "Need he do it?" is equivalent to the non-auxiliary form "Does he dare to do it?" or "Does he need to do it?"; need, of course, expresses the modality of necessity. In a negative context "He dare not do it" is equivalent to "He does not dare to do it", while "He need not do it" is equivalent to "He does not need to do it". In both cases it is the modal or entire verb phrase, rather than the main verb, that is being negated.
However, in the sentence "He does not dare to lose weight" or "He needs to lose weight," dare or need is not being used as an auxiliary, as (1) it takes the full infinitive "to lose" as the head of the verb phrase rather than the bare infinitive "lose" that occurs in a phrase like "I can lose weight", and (2) the verb following it is conjugated in the third person singular.

Words with a similar function to the modal verbs

 Used to

Used to is used to express past states or past actions that were habitual but which are no longer. Hence it expresses aspect and tense rather than modality. For example, "I used to go to college" suggests that the speaker no longer goes to college. Constructions negating the main verb exist in expressions such as "She used to not like me", or if the speaker is trying to avoid the split infinitive, "She used not to like me".
In some non-standard dialects, used to can follow did not (or didn't), as in "She didn't use to like me". Here it is the entire verb form "used to like" that is being negated, to mean "It's not that she used to like me."

 Do

As an auxiliary, do is essentially a "dummy"; that is, it does not generally affect the meaning. It is used to form questions and negations when no other auxiliary is present: "Do you want to do it?", "I do not (don't) want to do it." This particular use of do, known as do-support, is attested from around 1400.
It is also sometimes used for emphasis: "I do understand your concern, but I do not think that will happen." Also, do sometimes acts as a pro-verb: "I enjoy it, I really do [enjoy it], but I am not good at it." (Other auxiliaries do this as well: "I can do it, I really can [do it], it just takes me longer"; but it bears particular note that in the case of do, it is often used as a pro-verb when it would be absent if the verb were present.) Because it does not affect the meaning of its verb as regards the attitude of the speaker toward the action, it is not a modal auxiliary. In a sense, it indicates the lack of a modal auxiliary. (Do is also different in that it has a distinct third-person singular form, does, and in that its past tense, did, is used exactly as a past tense, not as a more general remote form).

 Going to

Am/is/are/was/were going to is used in some of the same situations as is will: specifically, to indicate imminent futurity ("It's going to rain"), distant futurity ("The sun is going to die eventually"), intentional modality ("I was going to do that, but I forgot"), or a combination of futurity and intentionality ("I'm going to do it tomorrow"). It always implies prospective aspect, combining the present (or past when used with was/were) focus in the main verb am/is/are/was/were going with the futurity of the second verb. Thus, for example, "It's going to rain" combines a present viewpoint of the situation with a description of the future. This feature is analogous to the retrospective aspect of the English present perfect have/has + VERB + -ed, in which past action is presented from the viewpoint of the present.
Am/is/are/was/were going to is not a modal because (1) it has an infinitive form to go, and (2) it requires a helping verb, which conjugates by person/number.

 Have to

Have to is used in a similar way to must, as discussed above, except that have to is used either with an impersonal necessity (such as in "It has to be cloudy for it to rain") or a personal obligation ("I have to go to the dentist") while must is used primarily with personal obligations ("I must go to the dentist"). Have to can be used for an ongoing obligation, such as "he has to be careful". Have to is not a modal verb because (1) it has an infinitive form (to have [to]), and (2) it conjugates in the third person singular ("He has to do it").

Double modal

In standard English usage, it is considered incorrect to use more than one modal verb consecutively, as modals are followed by an infinitive, which they themselves lack. They can only be combined with non-modal constructions that have a modal function, such as have to, which in spite of its function is not a modal verb. Thus, might have to is acceptable, but might must is not, even though must and have to can normally be used interchangeably.
A greater variety of double modals appears in some regional dialects. In Southern American English, for example, phrases such as might could or ought to should are sometimes used in conversation. The double modal may sometimes be redundant, as in "I ought to should do something about it", where ought to and should are synonymous and either one could be removed from the sentence. In other double modals, the two modal verbs convey different meanings, such as "I might could do something about it tomorrow", where could indicates the ability to do something and might shows uncertaintly about that ability.
These kinds of double modal phrases are not regarded as standard, although a combination of a modal with a modal-like construction may be used instead. "I might could do something about it" is more often expressed as "I might be able to do something about it", which is considered more standard. Similarly used to could, which appears for example in country singer Bill Carlisle's 1951 song "Too Old to Cut the Mustard":

I used to could jump just like a deer,
But now I need a new landing gear.
I used to could jump a picket fence,
But now I'm lucky if I jump an inch.
is usually expressed as used to be able to. Double modals can also be avoided by replacing one of the modal verbs with an appropriate adverb, such as using probably could or might possibly in place of might could.
