Understand halal investing before you put a single dollar into it.
islamic.trade breaks down how Shariah-compliant investing, home financing, and zakat actually work, mechanism by mechanism, without sales pitches or invented numbers. We compare real platforms factually and explain the structures underneath them.
Start with the question you actually have
These are the topics readers come to islamic.trade looking for, written as straight explanations of how each thing works, not marketing copy for any single product.
The four questions we get asked most
Each guide focuses on mechanism over marketing: what a structure or tool actually does, not why you should buy it.
Wahed Invest vs Zoya
A robo-advisor and a stock-screening app solve different problems. Here is how each model actually works, so you can tell which one fits how you want to invest.

ZakatHow Zakat Applies to Your Investments

We explain mechanisms
Murabaha, Ijara, Musharaka, business screens, ratio screens, robo-advisory versus self-directed screening: we focus on how each thing actually works.
We do not invent numbers
If we are not certain a specific fee, minimum, or performance figure is accurate, we describe the model instead of quoting a number we cannot verify.
We are not a brokerage
islamic.trade publishes education and comparisons. We never hold funds, execute trades, or give personalized financial or religious advice.
