As Salaamu Alaikum,

3 questions:

  1. basic bio - age, gender, location, job.

My name is Dominic, recent revert, Alhamdolliah. Male, 34 years old, currently living in Ireland but hope to move to the UK or Middle east next year, Inshallah.

Just finished a degree in Economics and Finance, about to start a MSc. in Finance at TCD, Ireland.( original background is in theology and philosophy).

  1. What brings you to this forum?

I came to this forum because I was neck deep in Finance, Economics and planning for my future before I reverted.

I am now working to learn as much as I can about Islamic finance to keep my career and finance choice 100% halal, Insha Allah. I hope to do a Dip. in Islamic finance while I do my masters, insha Allah but obviously I want to gather as much info as possible and the great videos by Islamic Finance Guru on youtube led me here.

  1. What gets you out of bed every day?
  • Islam. I’m really grateful to Allah for the mercy of the gift this religion, the Prophet (pbuh) and the Muslim community. This drives my life, and gives me contentment, peace, hope , joy and ambition for everyday life!

  • I do love economics and finance too!

Nice to meet you all, and thank you to everyone at Islamic Finance Guru, May Allah reward you for this work! I cannot tell you how important a resource like this is. I live about 90km to the nearest Masjid, there are basically no Muslims in my town, as far as I know, and so connecting with the Muslim community and getting guidance etc can be difficult, especially in things such as Islamic finance, so once again sincerely, thank you!

Salaam

Salaams , My name is Mudassar from Yorkshire

  1. basic bio - age, gender, location, job.
    I am a 37 year old IT Infrastucture Project Manager contractor with 14 years in the Financial Service space.

  2. What brings you to this forum?
    Previously dull to pensions, and thankfully educated by IFG, I have recently managed to start a SIP with Fidelity. I IA seek knowledge of this world of investing, and look for opportunity to network and make liked minded people.

  3. What gets you out of bed every day?

I have 2 young children (3 and 6 years of age) i would like to build and grow a portfolio for them, and therefore seeking to find halal financial and business investment opportunities. Further more it is my belief that the best I can give them beyound money is life experiences and therefore proactively travel, support, encourage and get involved in their outside of school and madressah activities.

I intend to move to Dubai in the near future and I am currently seeking out recruitment agencies within the banking space to help transition across. If anyone is out there that has any contacts that can help, do get in touch - IA this move will be a positive one for both myself and family.

As-Salaamu alaikum. I pray that you are well. Brother Mohsin, the IFG co-founder recently re-located there. He might be able to help. He mentioned that he found various facebook groups that he benefitted from. Check out his recent videos on the IFG youtube channel where he describes his experiences of transitioning to life in Dubai. Take care and may Allah(S.W.T) make your journey easy. Please remember everyone in your duas. Was-salaam, Brother Sajid.
