About the Book
"Saving for the future is important, but so is staying true to your values. Ever thought about investing but are worried about how to pick out halal companies from haram? Halal investing is investing in anything that is not made haram by Sharia law. A lot of conventional products are not halal, including many mainstream ethical funds and many Muslims unknowingly or knowingly invest in haram products. However, not many beginner investors know that there is a huge amount of halal options available on the market in asset classes such as equities, gold, art, startup investing and even property. This book aims to help Muslims and socially conscious investors to access them. With a primary focus on fixed income, property, stock, and high-growth, the book guides the reader in exploring each asset class from the low-risk to high-growth investments and building a carefully constructed and balanced portfolio"--Book Synopsis

Praise for Halal Investing for Beginners
"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 and 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 Barclays; author of Heaven's Bankers
