If you’ve ever wondered whether your investments can reflect your faith and values, you're not alone. An increasing number of Muslims in Australia are asking: Can I grow my wealth without compromising my beliefs? The good news is—yes, you can.
Halal investing, including halal Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), offers a way to invest with both purpose and peace of mind. In this article, we’ll walk you through what Sharia-compliant investing is all about, why it matters here in Australia, and how halal ETF Australia offerings are helping everyday investors align their finances with their faith.
Halal investing means knowing what’s allowed and what’s not. Understanding the basics of Sharia-compliant investing is crucial for creating a faith-aligned portfolio.
In essence, Sharia-compliant investing is about keeping your money halal: pure and permissible under Islamic law. That means avoiding industries and practices considered impermissible (haram), such as alcohol, gambling, tobacco, and interest-based (riba) finance.
Sharia investing focuses on companies and funds that operate strictly in alignment with Islamic values. It’s not just about what you're avoiding; it’s also about what you're supporting: businesses that create real value without compromising Islamic principles.
So, if you’re someone who wants to grow your savings and stay true to your faith, this type of investing offers a clear framework to help you do both.

Australia is a multicultural nation with a vibrant and growing Muslim community, numbering over 800,000 people, according to the latest 2021 census by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Yet until recently, many Muslims here felt limited when it came to halal investment options that aligned with their values—but that’s starting to change.
With values-based investing becoming increasingly mainstream, halal investing is gaining attention not only from the Muslim community but also from individuals who want their financial decisions to reflect their values. Growing awareness is helping halal investing establish its place in Australia's diverse financial landscape.

You may be asking yourself: Who’s behind halal investing in Australia?
One of the names you’ll hear often is Hejaz. Since 2014, we’ve been at the forefront of Islamic finance in Australia, not only providing halal financial services but also helping the community understand how halal investing works.
From halal super funds and Islamic home loans to our range of Islamic investment funds, including ETFs, Hejaz has been actively building a space where Muslims in this country can invest confidently and in line with their values.
If you're new to investing or simply looking for options that align with your faith, halal ETFs can be a practical and Sharia-compliant way to access the stock market. They are transparent, diversified, and easy to buy or sell, giving you the added confidence that your money is working in line with your principles.

At the end of the day, investing isn’t just about numbers—it’s about values.
As an Islamic financial services provider, Hejaz brings faith-based investing within reach. No matter your investment experience, Hejaz’s halal ETFs, including Hejaz Equities Fund Active ETF (ASX: ISLM), Hejaz Property Fund Active ETF (ASX: HJZP), Hejaz Sukuk Active ETF (ASX: SKUK), Hejaz High Income Active ETF (ASX: HJHI), and Hejaz High Innovation Active ETF (ASX: HHIF) offer a meaningful way to grow your wealth while staying true to Islamic values.
