Salaam everyone,
Iām Omar, I work in the SF bay tech industry and am focused on long term buy and hold investing (top holdings are currently AMAGX and HLAL). I am looking forward to seeing Zoya expand to address ETFs and I hope mutual funds (at least the major ones that have a chance of being halal).

My name is Belal. I am a mechanical engineer originally from New Orleans. I reside in Dallas, TX and work for General Electric on the design of power generation technology.
I am honestly most looking forward to the crypto market this next decade but also fascinated to see how tech stocks will perform these next couple years.
Thanks for inviting me to be part of this community. Looking forward to the discussions.
Best regards,
Belal

- My name is Ghufran and I run a small marketing agency (Identify BDA) that specializes in helping Muslim non-profits communicate. (I also help people connect with other peopleā¦vague? I know!)
- Greater Toronto Area
- These days Iām excited about alternatives to the stock marketā¦investing in small muslim businesses that are cash strapped due to the lack of halal funding alternatives. Iām also big on ethical investing and have created my own database of unethical companies that is a work in progress and shared in a small circle of friends for now.

Slmz All,
I am Rashid, IT consultant from London, UK.
I started trading in shares 2 months ago, in preparation for retirement/redundancy, & Alhamdulillah Iāve started seeing a profit.
I followed a signal from the Juan, the Bro from Prosperitrade & was pleasantly surprised to see a profit from my trade. Thank you for that.
Iāve invested with Wahed, Simply Ethical, Crowdtolive, & Ethis after some research on the IFG website.
I love the Zoya app, it gives me some comfort that any money I make will be Halal. Thank you to the team who created it.
I trade any undervalued halal stock that is on the way up, so nothing specific as yet excites me, although I am a fan of the 2 iShares MCSI Islamic, as they seem to only go up every year.
Rashid
