Assalamualaikum everybody. My name’s Azlifah, from Singapore. I’m slowly starting my finance journey and I’m really excited about seeing how cryptocurrencies play out in the future.

Hello all!
My name is Kamil, I live in Singapore. I’m originally from Turkey. I’m glad that this community exists. Looking forward to invest more

Asalaamu alaikum everyone!

My name’s Atifa, I’m a recent grad from CUNY and co-founder of Al Majarra Studios, a Muslim TV & Film production company.
If CUNY didn’t give it away, I’m from New York, USA.
Looking at TSLA, SPUS, AAPL performance at the moment. InshaAllah maybe my company can go public in the next decade, too

Salaam, everyone!

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

It’s been incredibly humbling to see the outpouring of support and feedback we’ve gotten from the community since we launched. FinTech has changed the world in recent years, but the Muslim audience has been relatively neglected. I’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.

I’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. It’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. That’s not financial advice or anything, just something that I personally choose to do.

Co-Founder & CTO, Zoya

Salam alaykum warahmotullah wabarakatuh. My name is Ibraheem and I am happy to be here. I look forward to learning and sharing from and with every great mind here.

Markaz · July 11, 2021, 3:48pm

Salaam my name is Gulam Muhamad
I’m a Imam in my local town in England
Also a teacher in a full time boys Islamic boarding school
I like zoya Mashallah doing great work
Hoping to learn from other brothers
Currently investing in many stocks most time I stick to swing trades and long in Tesla

Markaz · July 11, 2021, 4:00pm

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 don’t panic and don’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 it’s beneath 2 mountains
And what’s not meant for us it won’t reach us even if it’s between our lips
( hadeeth )

Assalamu alaikum

My name is Norlaila. I am a small business owner and mother of 3 kids from Seattle, Washington USA. I don’t have too much experience with stocks so not sure what I’m excited about other than halal investing for my children’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 i’m based in Singapore. I’ve been helping my community with Personal Islamic Finance (of which there’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 i’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)

I am Fahim Ahmed from Michigan USA

I would like to thank Zoya founders, they made my work really easy for halal stock screening.

I am just an individual investor. Bullish on American equities in general

Farhan · November 8, 2021, 4:08pm

Walaikum Assaalam Fahim!
Great to have you with us and thanks for the recognition. Feel free to post a question or bring up a new topic to get a discussion started

Ahmedfahim · November 9, 2021, 12:30am

HTZZ HTZZW ONTX LCID this stocks are Halal? Zoya apps are not available

Farhan · November 9, 2021, 3:24am

Hey Fahim,

So looks like a combination of OTC and some fresh IPOs. At Zoya doesn’t offer support for OTC stocks, but we dope hope to offer support for some of the most popular ones at some point. As for companies that has only been listed recently, it takes a couple of months before we’re able to provide a report. This is something that we’re looking to optimize as well. We’ve seen plenty of interest in LCID over the past little bit so we understand how important this is for Zoyans.

Mubash · November 10, 2021, 3:33pm

Assalam alaikum yall!

I’m Mubashir, and I work as an electrical engineer in the power markets industry. I recently got started into investing, and realized the importance of educating myself about the halal/haraam of it, and the compliance side of things
Based in Houston
Long duration (electrical) energy storage! Basically, new battery tech. Will disrupt the energy industry in a big way and help transition to renewables. Though right now, that’s only lithium stocks and a new experimental stock GWH
Also, EV stocks.
