I help Muslims clarify their finances.
Money decisions aren't solos. They're duels.

The problem is, we usually only see one option in the ring, shadowboxing.

Any choice looks good by itself.

The real test comes when we put a challenger in the other corner.

Our job is to stage the fight.

One’s probably in your hands (or in your pocket).

Another is run by the world’s richest troll.

The other five are on the AFSC’s BDS divestment list. 🍉

I’ve been working on a new project (yes, another one).

It’s called HalalFolio: a simple app to build a custom portfolio of halal ETFs in Canada.

Still very much a work in progress, but I’m going to try sharing more of the process along the way, insha'Allah.

Riba is doing less with more.

Barakah is doing more with less.

Riba isn’t just a transaction.

It’s a system.

It used to be something you could avoid with a simple commitment: never engage in lending for gain and steer clear of specific types of usurious trades.

But today...

The average household makes over 100 financial transactions a month.

Without a system to manage these, tracking becomes difficult, and money is easily wasted.

Even worse is the risk of overspending without a buffer.

And when that happens, riba is just around the corner.

How did you do with money last month?

If you can say these three things with 100% certainty, you’re covering the basics and on track:

1. I spent less than I earned.
2. I saved something.
3. I shared something.

You don't need a budget.

You need a system.

An 18-year-old can get a credit card in minutes.

But to start passively investing?

They have to prove they’re “responsible” and jump through regulatory hoops.
