There is still a huge portion of Muslims that don't realise stock investing is, in principle, halal.
They don't realize that carefully managed exposure to the stock market could genuinely alter their entire trajectory.
And while it's true that many stocks are haram, there are some truly excellent and ethical opportunities in the market.
If you're new to investing, fret not. We've compiled a free checklist to get you started. Click the link in the description:

We often feel powerless in the face of giant corporations and institutions, even as we witness the atrocities they commit in front of our own eyes.
However, recent events have shown that is not true. The local community in Manchester have done an excellent job of organising to remove Palantir from the NHS. But that wasn't achieved through protests alone. It was also built through years of building a more viable, more effective solution, one that could be presented as the best option for Manchester.
Well done, and let this be an example of our power as believers and as economic and political agents.
At Cur8 Capital we are trying to do the same thing in pharmacies, and with the support of the community we've achieved some amazing results through our ethical private equity deal.
If you want to learn more about how we're investing over £35 million to empower community healthcare, read the article below: cur8.capital/behind-the-uk-pharmacy-industry-an-in…
FYI, we're FCA regulated, but all investments including this one carry risk. Please only invest what you can afford to lose.

Andy Burnham has just changed the entire housing game.
But is it for better, or worse?
It's going to get easier to buy a house.
Or more specifically: it's becoming easier to get debt to buy a house.
And you can only use that debt for new builds, which might be a little overpriced.
And after buying that slightly overpriced, under-built house - you might end up in negative equity - buried under a 6% mortgage.
What appears like a step in the right direction is tarred by a couple of potholes.
That said, with a few amendments, Burnham's government could get us on track with housing.
We give our take and suggestions on the recent policy announcement in the carousel below.
Let us know your thoughts, and share with any friends who may be interested in buying!

What makes a stock halal or haram? There are two main checks, according to AOOIFI standards.
(BTW - We put together a free halal investment guide - click the link below to grab it)
www.islamicfinanceguru.com/resources/investment-ch…
Check 1: what the business does
Banking on interest, gambling, alcohol, tobacco or pork: out
Defence is not haram by default, but most defence companies make money from bloodshed in Muslim lands, and that is where they fall down
Check 2: how it is financed
Interest-bearing debt over 30% of market cap: out
Interest-bearing assets over 30%: out
Haram income over 5% of revenue: out
If your stock fails check 2, but still has some question marks, you will have to purify a portion of your investment.
Sectors that usually pass, with examples
Technology e.g Nvidia, Apple, TSMC
Manufacturing e.g Eaton, Emerson, Rockwell Automation
Healthcare: Abbott, Medtronic, Stryker
Pharmaceuticals: Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, AstraZeneca
Logistics: SITC, DHL Group, Union Pacific
Agriculture: Corteva, CF Industries
Mining: BHP, Rio Tinto, Newmont, Agnico Eagle
Utilities: Constellation Energy, GE Vernova, Quanta Services
Sectors that fail, with examples
Banking and insurance: HSBC, Barclays, Aviva
Gambling: Flutter, Entain
Alcohol and tobacco: Diageo, BAT, Imperial Brands
Pork: Cranswick, WH Group, Hormel
As a side note, defense isn't haram by default but most of the stocks In that sector are involved in causing harm to civilians and fail screens. When it comes to tech stocks, you can also use halal.sh to see which companies may be compliant in Israeli Occupation.
Stocks that pass today, may not pass tomorrow, since the debt level of a company is often in flux. Make sure to keep checking before you buy!

Most of the growth in stock market fund right now is not coming from hundreds of companies. It is coming from a handful of AI Stocks.
Which raises the obvious question: If AI is doing the heavy lifting, are the companies doing it actually halal? And even if they are, are they ethical in their dealings?
Some are.
Some are not.
And chances are, unless you've been mindful, you're probably invested in a few less than virtuous companies.

The unhealthy investor waits until they feel ready, and that moment never comes. When they finally do put money in, they check the app every ten minutes, panic sell the first time it drops, and quietly measure themselves against whoever had the best year.
Indecision is the most expensive trait an investor can have, because you lose money slowly enough that you never notice it happening.
The healthy investor decides what success looks like before they start.
They know what the money needs to do and by when, they invest as though they won't sell for years, and they write down their rules in advance so the decision in a crash is made by the rational version of them.
Their investments serve them, not the other way round. The disciplined investor is the rich investor, not the loudest one.
