Why are these investors called "Angels"?
The term 'angels' from 'angel investor' comes from early 20th-century Broadway, where wealthy backers ("angels") stepped in to fund plays that would otherwise never have made it to stage.
Today, an angel investor is someone who puts their own money into an early-stage company, often before it has any profit. It's a high-risk, high-reward game.
On Monday evening we've got a free online talk from the founder of Madinah Angels, they invest in Muslim-led tech startups. Worth joining whether you're interested in backing early-stage Muslim founders, are a founder looking for funding yourself, or just to learn more about this industry.

Why are you getting this email anyway?
At some point you got interested in investing the halal way. Maybe you've since mastered it. You know how much to invest each month, what you're investing towards, when you'll get there, and exactly which investments will take you there.
But most people never move past "I'm interested in investing" to actually investing. Some skip the education altogether and jump straight into investments they don't understand.
At Nisba, our goal is simple: get you investing. There are two ways to do that.
Path 1: Education
You learn how to start investing properly. Why goals come first. What halal investment options exist, how asset allocation works, which account types make sense, and what fits your situation. Nobody tells you what to do. You decide, backed by your own knowledge.
This is exactly what we teach in the Nisba Academy. Next cohort starts in October.

A recent review:
"I was sceptical when I first started the Nisba Academy. I wasn't looking for knowledge, I was looking for implementation and the confidence to invest.
The course is structured beautifully, taking you step by step until you understand your financial situation and your goals.
I feel that not only will I invest with clarity in sha Allah, but I'll be able to pass this knowledge on to my family and friends too.
I'd highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to get financially literate and start their investing journey."
Path 2: Advice
The investing gets done for you. Accounts set up, asset allocation chosen, investments picked, all handled. Your only job is to transfer the funds each month. Focus on your work and your life, leave the investing to your adviser.
Nisba itself doesn't offer financial advice, but Ahmad (co-founder) is a financial adviser at Ansari Financial Planning. If you'd like advice, click here to book a call.
We spoke at Linklaters yesterday
We were invited to speak at an event at Linklaters yesterday on Islamic finance, and it was excellent. Great turnout, great questions, exactly the kind of conversation we love having.
If you'd like us to run something similar at your workplace, book in a call here and we'll organise it together inshaAllah.
