Have you ever felt excited to start investing, but unsure how to do it the halal way? That’s exactly where I found myself.
I was listening to financial podcasts, motivated to build wealth early, but when I searched for guidance, I hit a wall.
Most of what I found was conventional advice like high-interest savings accounts, dividend stocks, or index funds. Helpful for some, but my question was different: how can someone in Canada start investing while staying true to Islamic principles?
That question became the starting point for HasilInvest.
The Struggle to Find Clear Answers
When I searched online, I found resources — detailed fatwas on one side and U.S.-based blogs on the other. Valuable, but not the straightforward, beginner-friendly answers I needed in Canada.
I wanted to know:
Can I open a TFSA or RRSP the halal way?
Are there halal ETFs in Canada?
How much money do I need to start?
The answers weren’t in one place, so I dug deeper — reading, comparing, and piecing together what halal investing could look like for beginners here.
Realizing the Gap
That’s when I noticed the gap.
On one side, there are countless investing blogs. On the other, detailed Islamic finance explanations. But very few combined the two in a way that’s clear and practical for Canadians starting out.
When I first tried to buy a halal ETF, I couldn’t even figure out which ones were available in Canada without hours of digging.
I even went to my bank for advice, only to realize they had no halal options at all. Most of the information I found came from U.S. blogs that were only somewhat relevant, and I was skeptical about whether they applied to me in Canada.
Friends felt the same. Many wanted to invest but didn’t know how without stepping into something haram. Some avoided investing altogether, while others followed conventional advice because they didn’t see another option.
That’s why I started HasilInvest: to make halal investing simple, practical, and accessible in Canada.

Why Halal Investing Matters
For me, halal investing is more than avoiding haram industries. It’s about building a future that feels clean, purposeful, and aligned with my values.
Money is only a tool. When used wisely, it can:
Support families
Fund education or businesses
Enable giving through zakat and charity
Provide peace of mind
That’s why halal investing isn’t just about wealth — it’s about living with intention, staying true to our principles, and creating a positive impact.
