Praise for the Book

"I started skimming the book, only to find myself slowing down and reading through most of it. This is a long-overdue practical and user-friendly guide to investing in the modern world, intended for Muslims conscious of their faith and values. An amazing and necessary resource for every Muslim household."

Dr. Yasir Qadhi

Prominent Islamic scholar and academic

"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."

Dr. Haitham Al-Haddad

Chairman of the Islamic Council - UK

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

Mufti Faraz Adam

Global Head of Sharia Consultancy Amanah Advisors

"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

Many Muslim investors remain unaware that most of the conventional investment products marketed as "ethical" or "ESG" do not qualify as halal investments.
