Walaikum Assalam Mubashir!

Welcome the Forum. We’re definitely seeing a rise in interest in renewables and battery stocks amongst Zoyans recently. I’m wondering if investing in renewables is a part of a larger ethical philosophy or a sector you’ve identified for growth. I dropped a link for a poll and discussion we’ve got rolling in the topic.

Beyond that I’m looking forward to seeing you around :smiley:

As salaamu alaykum. I’m Maliki from Brooklyn, NY (Moving to England soon Inshaa) I’ve been investing in HLAL, SPUS & SPRE and recently got into SOXQ & NULG since I looked over their compliance review. I want to see if there’s any fairly new stocks like LCID that are affordable and are Shariah Compliant to invest in.

JazakAllah khair @Frhaann !
It’s both actually. It’s easier for me to make investments in energy because I follow stuff closely, due to work. And there is the ethical motive too.
Also, possibly extra sawab in there too (because it will help society as a whole), InshaAllah!

Walaikum As Salaam Maliki!

Salam,

Thanks for building this platform and community!

  1. Edrees, studied engineering, management, and ethics; lost my life savings at an “Islamic” bank so I try to take this shariah-compliance stuff seriously xD
  2. Currently located in Houston, TX
  3. I’m new to the markets, like COVID capitulation 2020 new. Still learning. Was into equities until I lost my life savings in the bank and realized banks are no bueno, so when I learned about crypto, I went all in. Highly recommend this Bitcoin Standard Podcast episode with Harris Irfan on the Most Islamic Form of Money

Excited about $XNO (formerly $NANO) as it could become the de facto payment settlement solution for FX markets (~$7 Tn daily ); if it captures just 1% of that, its price would >100x from here!

Also Forex trading could become halal if the transactions are settled on the spot and the actual currencies are exchanged^

Assalamualaikum warahamatullah. I am Amina Idris, a Nigerian Muslimah by birth and residency, a nurse/midwife working with an international NGO in Zamfara state of Nigeria. I joined Zoya early last year while looking for information about halal investments. I am also following updates from other Islamic investment platform like Islamic finance guru and Islamicly, though I hardly contribute any research works or recommendations. I am a novice in the business world as most of my earnings come as salary. I really hope to actively participate in this community, learn a lot and have halal plus secure investment plans through Zoya.
I am envisaging holding Exxon Mobil and Tesla stocks long term. I hope to hold Bitcoins and Ethereum long term too. Any other promising halal stock will be considered inshaa Allah.

Assalamu Alaikum everyone.
I am Zeyad currently located in Kuwait. I stumbled across this platform following Sheikh Bradford who recommended it.

Honestly, I have no idea how stock markets work and what the technical terms like hold and stake etc mean. So I am a newbie but very motivated and ready to keep learning inshaa Allah
