The fact that the motivation for this kind of "loan" might be religious 
(Sharia law) is irrelevant. Atheists might equally well be involved with 
partnerships and joint ventures. Simply look up "accounting for joint 
ventures" and apply what you learn there to doing it with gnucash. Or 
"accounting for limited partnerships"  (in this sort of arrangement, the 
lender would be a limited partner, the borrower the general partner).
