We teach Muslims to invest and trade crypto within Shariah.

How I got here

I’m from Kabul, Afghanistan, and I live in Istanbul. I started trading in 2011, with forex, because I was sold the same dream as everyone else: that it would make me rich. It didn’t. It gave me losses and habits that looked a lot like gambling. When I learned that forex, the way I was trading it, was haram, I left it.

In 2019 I moved to stocks, and they won back most of what forex had cost me. In 2020 I found Bitcoin. I bought it spot, made money, and went deeper, into Ethereum and other coins. I also made the mistake almost everyone makes in their first cycle. I didn’t understand how euphoric tops work, so I waited for higher and never took some of that profit.

At the end of 2021 and into 2022 I put money into other projects. Some worked and some didn’t. Then I found out that some of them involved things that are haram. So I went back to the fundamentals, and found people calling Bitcoin haram, others calling it halal, and the same argument over every other coin. I kept digging. In 2023 I started teaching a few friends what I was learning. That group became Halal Portfolio, and Halal Portfolio became ShariaQuant.

What I believe

Most of what gets sold as trading psychology is hype, there to pull people into signal groups. What you actually need is discipline, and Islam teaches discipline better than anything on earth. Islamic finance, used properly, is for the benefit of mankind. It keeps you away from the scams and points you to things that last. Screen your investments that way, keep going, and you stay clear of most of the ways people lose money here, inshallah. There will be bad days and good days. Make the most of the good ones, the halal way, with supply and demand, the most natural way to trade.

Earn halal, put your trust in Allah, and surrender to Him. Your rizq, your provision, comes from Him, and He increases it in ways you never imagined. Stay humble. Ask about what you don’t know. Keep striving. When you see your wealth as everything Allah has given you, you realize wealth is more than money. You start setting longer goals, and the stress money brings starts to lift. That is the real jihad, the real struggle: with your own nafs, to purify your wealth, and for your family.

What I am, and what I am not

I’m not a scholar, and I don’t issue rulings. I’m a student of Islamic finance and I always will be, so I keep learning with an open mind. When it comes to the Shariah side, I teach as someone doing the research, and I show you where every answer comes from. Supply and demand is different. I have traded it for fifteen years, and that I teach as a teacher. What we publish is research, with the scholars behind it named, so you can check it. I will never promise to make you a millionaire. What I can do, inshallah, is show you how to build a portfolio in crypto that you understand and can hold for years. It’s the best way I know to save and invest for the long term. Your living costs should come from what you earn. The portfolio is what you build on top. Everything I build rests on the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

If you’re reading this, you’re in the right place. Start questioning the rest of what you do with your money. Stop gambling, take responsibility, and do it the right way.
