How do Islamic banks work and make profit ?

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaikum. I have a question about the Islamic banking system. I was reading about an Islamic bank in my area that gives loans for houses and cars yet they don’t ask for any interest in return. And the savings accounts also don’t collect interest. So my question is, how do these Islamic banks make profit ? Especially if they give loans to people without asking for interest in return ?
