Markets, halal investing insights, and reflections for Muslim investors

Mar 13, 2026
Socials:

Oil has surged, markets are sitting in Extreme Fear, and several new Islamic ETFs are appearing on UK platforms. We also take a look at the best performing halal funds this month, the top halal savings rates, and updates across platforms like Cur8, Qardus and Bayuti.

We’ve also just released our Halal Stock Screener, allowing you to filter the S&P 500, remove boycotted stocks and take more control over your investments.

In the premium section, we break down the 5 April ISA deadline, the risks of social media investing, our thoughts on the new Kestrl account, and the final raise of Cur8’s venture fund. We finish with a reflection on the recent oil price spike, and why capturing returns like that is far harder than it looks.

Premium subscribers also receive full access to the Nisba Academy (self-paced) and the Nisba Playbook, our step-by-step halal investing guide.

It seems everyone knows someone who has been burgled and has a story to share. It reminded me of when people used to talk about crypto more. It seemed at the time, and maybe still, that everyone knows someone who made a fortune out of crypto. It was just never the person you spoke to, a friend of a friend, usually. Perhaps it’s these investing stories that make people get excited. Maybe they co...
