An amazing and necessary resource for every Muslim household."
Dr. Yasir Qadhi

"This book is a handbook to explain to the average Muslims the basics of investments ad how to be an investor. The practical approach of the book and the easy style of it are among its main advantages. I pray that Allah puts barakah in this book and make it a source of benefit for our brothers and sisters."

"With clear explanations and practical tips, this book is a must-read for anyone looking to build a halal investment portfolio."

"In a world where the traditional Islamic finance industry has disappointingly focused on serving society's wealthiest, Ibrahim and Mohsin have instead blazed a trail and taken back control for ordinary Muslims. Their grassroots movement is unique in educating and entertaining Muslims on managing their money in a halal way. This book distils their eight-year journey and is essential reading."
Harris Irfan
Former Global Head of Islamic Finance at Batclays

I’ve just read a book about Islamic finance… this is now my reply when I meet people and they ask what I’ve been up to. It’s quite a good conversation starter. I think this book needs to be recommended in every Friday sermon across the country because for generations we only know the financial institutions that exist but actually don’t exist for us. This book is a must have like an air fryer, it’s good for us.

I’m ready to tackle my personal finances after reading this!
Halal Investing for Beginners is surprisingly entertaining and easy to follow for anyone – even someone who has no background in finance or Islam.
The book offers a condensed guide to a broad range of topics which coming from other sources, are otherwise convoluted and difficult to grasp. It also offers a range of sources and materials which you can use to help put your own plan into place.
Amazed that a book on finance managed to keep my interest and was actually inspirational and motivating.
Thank you Ibrahim and Mohsin!

I can’t recommend this book highly enough for someone that wants to Invest in a Halal manner.
The variety of investments the book covers is amazing in an easy to understand manner.
I often find people within our Muslim community tend to complain that there is a lack of investment opportunities that meet the Sharia standards especially when it comes to Property and this book explains practically that this just isn’t the case.
Even as an experienced investor I’ve learnt so much and it’s also a great gift to buy for friends and family too!

I’ve been dabbling in stocks and shares for many years, and wish this book had been released sooner.
This book dispenses with all the financial jargon that i usually struggle with, and really simplifies how to create your investment portfolio in a Halal manner.
Practical, with great tips, thank you Ibrahim and Mohsin. I pray this benefits many Muslims and becomes a means of your continued reward long after we’re all gone.
