islamic.trade explains how halal investing, Islamic home financing, and zakat on investments actually work, with a focus on mechanisms rather than marketing.
What we do
We publish factual, structural explanations of Islamic finance concepts: how a robo-advisor like Wahed Invest differs from a screening tool like Zoya, how Murabaha, Ijara, and Musharaka structure a home purchase without conventional interest, how Shariah stock screening actually works under the hood, and how zakat applies specifically to an investment portfolio. Where we compare real products, we describe what each one actually does rather than arguing for one over another.
What we do not do
islamic.trade is not a brokerage, a bank, or a registered investment adviser. We do not hold client funds, execute trades, or manage anyone's portfolio. We do not give personalized financial, legal, or religious advice, and nothing on this site should be read as a recommendation to buy or avoid any specific security, platform, or financing product.
How we handle facts we are not certain about
Platform pricing, minimums, and performance figures change, and getting them wrong helps no one. Where we are not confident a specific number is currently accurate, we describe how something works instead of quoting a figure we cannot verify. If you see a number on this site that looks outdated or wrong, we want to know, since keeping this accurate is the entire point of the site existing.
Religious guidance
Shariah compliance standards vary by scholar, screening methodology, and school of thought. We present commonly referenced views and methodologies, but we are not a substitute for a qualified Islamic scholar. For questions specific to your situation, consult one directly.
