The Ins And Outs Of Halal Investments


Halal is the way of life followed by those individuals who are of Muslim faith. It is quite a challenge these days for Muslims to locate supplementary foods, such as Omega-3 fatty acids that respect and belong to the Halal guideline. The bulk of Omega-3 fatty acids supplements present in the market include or are derived from items that are prohibited for Muslims. For example, most of the industrial gelatin capsules and softgels are from pork derivatives. Consequently, a lot of Muslims do not take Omega-3 fatty acids despite the numerous health benefits. Those that do take them are quite likely to be unaware of this fact.
A halal investment means putting money in to financial commodities that hold on to Shari'ah (Islamic law). Into the bargain, Islamic law relays that each and every aspect of the deal must be considered to be halal, but for expressly stated permitted otherwise.
With modern-day finance and savings, methods that make interest revenue are completely ruled out - including loan stocks, bonds and other debt investments. Muslims, as a result, are authorized to invest in only other investment schemes, such as shares, Real-Estate Investment Trusts, other unit trusts and life insurance. In general, these instruments supply income in the type of dividends. Dividends are also commonly referred to and known as profit sharing, as a consequence, the investor is haring the returns of the company invested in.
