Halal Investment
Halal Investment
Sharia investments are also known as Halal investments. They encourage people to invest in a socially-responsible way according to Islamic principles. Shariah investments or Sharia compliant investments follow the principles of Islamic law. They encourage people to invest in a socially responsible way.
Halal investing requires investment decisions to be made in accordance with Islamic principles. As a faith-based approach to investment management, investors often consider halal investing to be a category of ethical or socially responsible investing.

Shares
The stock market is generally regarded as the best form of long-term investing. Investing in shares comes in a few flavours. One approach is where you choose the companies yourself and buy shares for that company. The other approach is to invest in funds. Funds are run by fund managers who invest in a basket of companies depending on the strategy of that particular fund. The key thing to look out for as a Muslim is that the fund is certified as sharia-compliant. This will mean that the fund managers are working towards an established set of criteria which make it halal to invest in.
Property
Property is an investment favourite. It gives you nice solid income and you have a bricks-and-mortar asset to your name. The idea is that you buy a property and then rent it out to tenants. Typical returns for property are around 6% per annum but they can be as high as 10% or more. The cons with having a buy-to-let property are having to deal with tenant troubles. You’re legally responsible for certain repairs and if you’re not careful or even just a bit unlucky, you can wipe out your returns. Property is good for someone who doesn’t fancy that much risk, but wants to put their money to work in a way that’s more than just a savings account.
