You are starting at a young age. Thatā€™s most of the battle won :slight_smile:

Few secrets of investing

  1. time in market > timing the market.
    Save and invest at regular intervals once you start earning.

  2. let compounding and markets do the heavy lifting. Let your money compound for decades.

Drops and crashes will occur. Donā€™t sell in panic.

Good luck. individual stock picking can be fun and enriching. But it takes effort. If you put in the effort you will figure it out.

Salaam, everyone!

Iā€™m Bilal, the CTO and co-founder of Zoya. Iā€™ve been mostly behind the scenes until now, but Iā€™m excited to announce that Iā€™ll be working on Zoya full-time as of today. Youā€™ll be hearing a lot more from me going forward. :slight_smile:

Itā€™s been incredibly humbling to see the outpouring of support and feedback weā€™ve gotten from the community since we launched. FinTech has changed the world in recent years, but the Muslim audience has been relatively neglected. Iā€™m honored by the opportunity to help the ummah and make the world a better place, inshaAllah.

Who are you? Tell us a little about yourself.

Iā€™m a software engineer with around a decade of experience. Outside of tech, I enjoy hiking, bouldering, and woodworking.

Where are you located?

I live in the Seattle area. Itā€™s a blessing to wake up each day surrounded by mountains.

What stock (or any other investment) are you most excited about holding for the next decade?

I generally stick to investing in companies that I myself am a customer of and have faith in their vision/products. Thatā€™s not financial advice or anything, just something that I personally choose to do.

Also my advice is never be greedy
Have a strategy in place
Keep targets
And do a bit of home work before putting in company
As other brother mentioned they will be ups and downs donā€™t panic and donā€™t let it play over your mind
Always remember sustenance Allah will provide inshallah
What is meant for you it will reach you even if itā€™s beneath 2 mountains
And whatā€™s not meant for us it wonā€™t reach us even if itā€™s between our lips

My name is Norlaila. I am a small business owner and mother of 3 kids from Seattle, Washington USA. I donā€™t have too much experience with stocks so not sure what Iā€™m excited about other than halal investing for my childrenā€™s savings. My husband takes care of the bulk of investing for all of us. Grateful that there is a platform like this for Muslims to rely on and I pray for the highest success of Zoya.

Jazakum Allahu khairan.

Salam Everyone!

My name is Afiq, and iā€™m based in Singapore. Iā€™ve been helping my community with Personal Islamic Finance (of which thereā€™s a growing interest here) and investing has been a passion of mine, more so now with Halal Investing.

Looking forward to learning here, and sharing all that iā€™ve learnt to my community at home.

Just for fun, if you google Fuss Free Finance, thats me (unless you found the Australian commercial loan company which shares the same name)
