Salaam everyone :wave:

  • I’m Yasin, a software engineer with an interest in finance and business.
  • Currently back in Morocco, after a few years in the Bay Area (still working remotely with my last start-up/employer).
  • Doubt I can be excited about holding something for a decade (excitement is generally short-lived), but I’m looking forward to seeing more and better options for aligning finances and my moral/ethical commitments.

Salam Aleykum. My name is Malik. I’m a pilot and I live in Moscow. I’ve been investing in stock just since 2020 so I’m a beginner. I would like to become competent in this topic and to share my experience with you.

Salaam all,

Just reading the bio of first 15 people is pretty impressive and almost intimidating. But excited to know that wealthy and successful Muslims are interested in Halal income. May Allah give us all barakah-filled halal/tayyib provisions and make us grateful to Him.

  1. I am Salahuddin. An average developer in technology. Total newb in investing world (pandemic found Zoya :slight_smile: ). Extremely happy to be able to lean on Zoya to buy and sell stocks with the chump change I have, Alhamdulillah.

  2. Live in Jersey.

  3. I haven’t sort out investing for 10 months yet. So let’s see what the future holds.

Nice to “meet” y’all.

Hello! Really excited about this space. Looking forward to taking in all the knowledge here (I’m an absolute rookie so not sure if I have much to contribute just yet)

I’m Firoze, working out of the Bay area as an Android developer.
Holding for the next decade? Honestly the things that come to mind are HLAL, SPRE and TSM. I’m a complete rookie so starting with relatively stable things like ETFs for now. Zoya has been an absolute game-changer in getting into investing in a Halal way. Really appreciate the efforts here!

Salam,

I am Rezk (Rizq) from Egypt. I was born in Germany and also live here. I have been studying Islamic Finance for over 10 years and am constantly learning.

I have been investing in the stock market myself for over 7 years.

Mainly I invest in growth and value stocks. Zoya made the business screening easier for me. I would be happy if Zoya would also update the market capitalization regularly so that the financial screening would also be correct.

It’s nice that there is a community and you can replace each other. I hope we can all learn from each other insha’allah.

Salam everyone,

I recently decided to direct my modest investments myself because I was not satisfied with the performance of the mutual funds my bank was investing in. I also wanted more control in determining the “Halal-ness” of my portfolio.

If there is a thread for a given stock ( say by Ticker ), maybe the app provides that link to jump to the community discussion around it. Could be a premium feature :slight_smile:
