Are Murabaha, Ijara and Musharaka the same thing?

Educational answer
No. Murabaha is a disclosed-cost sale with an agreed profit. Ijara is a lease; arrangements leading to ownership need an appropriate ownership-transfer mechanism. Diminishing Musharaka involves a partnership in which one party gradually buys the other party’s share. Ask which contracts you will sign and how ownership changes.
