Build your halal investing plan in 5 weeks

★★★★★

One of my goals for this year was to improve my financial literacy. I already had some basic knowledge and had started taking steps myself, but there were definitely gaps in my understanding and some decision-making paralysis. The course helped me understand the key concepts, connect the dots and, most importantly, reframe how I think about my finances more strategically.

Ahmad and Adel were excellent teachers: knowledgeable, approachable and really good at breaking down what can feel like complicated financial topics into something understandable and practical. I particularly valued that everything was considered through the lens of Islamic finance. There genuinely was no such thing as a silly question.

It is an investment, but for me it was absolutely a worthwhile one, and I feel much further along in my financial literacy journey than I did before.

I joined the course after I discovered I am past 50 with no pension or kids savings, while knowing nothing about investment. The course gives you information in a step by step process: from the first week you start learning about your spending habits and calculate the money that you can invest, and from there you go through all the steps of investment, from dividing investment into goals, to allocating money to assets according to those goals, to choosing the platform and wrapper.

The team is very helpful through the chat group and provides help through the whole process. Today was the last day of the course, and I am eager to start my halal investing immediately.

Attending this course was truly life-changing. It reminded me of the importance of having clear life goals and, more importantly, gave me the exact tools and steps on how to go about achieving them.

The mentors were absolutely incredible. They taught every concept with so much clarity and were always patient and available to answer my endless list of questions! I cannot recommend this course highly enough to anyone looking to refocus and plan their future.

Mashallah both Adel and Ahmad are very supportive and helpful. I purchased the academy being skeptical but they delivered beyond. It was a short course that was very interesting, covered the main aspects that one needs for financial literacy, and has a good aftercare system too.

They always encouraged us to reach out and ask anything we were unsure of, or if we needed help setting anything up. They designed it in a way that in future you are able to plan your finances by yourself, which is nice as you can use the knowledge for yourself and loved ones. I 100% recommend it to others.

The course was extremely well structured. It started with the fundamentals such as setting financial goals and understanding risk, then moved into asset allocation, and gradually progressed into more practical topics like how to invest, which platforms to use, tax, account types, wealth purification and pensions.

Each week included a live session, and between sessions there were lessons to complete, so we came to the live sessions prepared. We were placed in a small cohort group chat where no question felt too small. What I appreciated most is that the course doesn't encourage blind investing; it focuses on understanding where your money goes, giving you control and confidence in your decisions.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone, whether you're just starting out or already have some knowledge but want deeper understanding and structure.

Adel and Ahmad have a wealth of financial knowledge that they shared with us over the academy, along with helpful videos and quizzes to make sure we were getting the most out of it. Highly recommended for anyone new to investing, especially with an ethical and Islamic mindset. They simplified the jargon and focused on the essentials to empower us to feel confident enough to start investing on our own. Priceless information to help protect, grow and look after our wealth in a halal way.

Prior to joining the course I had little or no financial knowledge. Thank you team Nisba for equipping me with knowledge that I will benefit from for life. They taught me how to budget my income, and that to build wealth you have to master budgeting. Questions are answered in the live sessions, and the team provides a safe space for everyone to share ideas and experiences. The course also introduced me to a community of people who want to invest, grow and be better.

We would agree with Mifta, a previous attendee:

"I would highly recommend this course to anyone, whether your financial literacy is low and you're just starting out, or even if you already have some knowledge but want deeper understanding and structure. If you want to invest with purpose, and confidence rather than guesswork, this course is definitely worth it."

If you attend the live sessions, do the work, and still don't feel the Academy has given you valuable education, we'll refund every penny.

There's no deadline to ask and no awkward conversations. Just get in touch at hello@nisba.co.uk. You keep all the resources, forever.

Common mistakes can easily cost more than the Academy itself:

• Sitting in cash for years
• Random stock tips
• Haram investments by accident
• Platform fees you don't understand
• Panic selling in market drops

The Nisba Academy is designed to help you avoid all of them.

We intentionally keep cohorts small so:

• Everyone gets attention
• Questions are answered properly
• No one is left behind

Availability is limited to keep cohorts small and interactive.

It's fully online. The live sessions, the video curriculum and all the resources are delivered online, and every session is recorded, so you can take part from anywhere in the UK or abroad.

No experience is required. The programme is designed for complete beginners as well as those who have started investing but want to make sure they are doing it correctly and halal.

Yes. Even if you already invest, this course helps you assess your current portfolio, identify non-compliant holdings, and rebuild it with clarity and confidence.

We follow the AAOIFI Shariah standards, the most widely used benchmark in Islamic finance, including its screening principles for business activities and financial ratios.

For funds, we also look at each fund's own Shariah board and certification. We teach you how to check both yourself, so you understand why something is considered halal rather than having to take anyone's word for it.

No. We do not sell or promote financial products. Instead, we teach you how to assess options, build your own portfolio, and apply what you've learned in line with your values.

No problem. Every session is recorded and available to watch on replay. You will also have access to our private community and drop-in Q&A sessions for extra support.

The sessions are developed and delivered by Ahmad Ayoubi, a CFA charterholder and DipPFS-qualified financial adviser with a background in financial markets, and Adel Bereksi, an award-winning Economics teacher and former Big Four consultant. Both hold the Islamic Finance Qualification (IFQ).

After the Academy ends, you keep lifetime access to all live call recordings, the full video curriculum and the guides, plus lifetime access to the private WhatsApp community.

The Nisba Academy is designed with UK investors in mind, particularly when it comes to accounts, tax wrappers and platforms (such as ISAs and pensions).

That said, the core principles of setting goals, understanding risk, applying a clear framework to halal investing and avoiding common mistakes are relevant wherever you live. If you're based outside the UK, you'll still benefit from the framework and education, but some product-specific examples may not apply directly to your local tax rules or platforms.
