For years, I lived and breathed trading — charts, setups, leverage, and prop firm challenges.
I loved the discipline, the freedom, and the thrill of the markets.
But deep inside, something never felt right.
The Hidden Cost of “Success”
On the surface, I was doing well. I had good trades, solid profits, and a strong routine.
But one thing kept bothering me: I was using leverage, paying interest, and trading speculative instruments.
Every position I opened came with a question:
“Is this income truly halal?”
The more I learned, the clearer it became — I was earning from what Islam classifies as haram.
And no profit is worth losing peace of mind.
The Turning Point
One night, after another long trading session, I decided I couldn’t continue like this.
I wanted clarity, not doubt.
So I began learning everything I could about Islamic finance and halal investing.
That’s when I discovered something powerful — you can invest, trade, and grow your wealth without riba, leverage, or speculation.
No interest.
No gambling.
No margin.
Just real assets, ethical investments, and barakah.
From Prop Firms to Pure Trading
I started over — no more futures, no more CFDs, no more zero-sum trades.
Instead, I built my portfolio using cash only, investing in Shariah-compliant ETFs, gold, and real companies.
And for the first time in years, trading brought me peace instead of guilt.
That peace became the foundation of my new mission — and the birth of Pure Trading.
What Pure Trading Stands For
Pure Trading isn’t about quick profits or risky speculation.
It’s about aligning your financial life with your faith and building long-term halal wealth.
Here, you’ll find:
- Practical guides on halal investing
- Step-by-step tutorials for setting up halal brokerage accounts
- Insights on gold, sukuk, and ethical ETFs
- Lessons from my journey as I study for a Master’s in Islamic Finance
My goal is to make halal investing simple, practical, and accessible for everyone.
The Vision
I want to help Muslims — whether in Switzerland, South Africa, or anywhere else — achieve financial independence without compromising their deen.
Halal investing isn’t only possible — it’s smarter, cleaner, and filled with barakah.
“Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt.”
— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
That hadith guides everything I do.
