Pearl of Wisdom

It is in the tradition recounting the Prophet's Ascension to the Heavens (al-mi'raj) that Allah addresses the Prophet (SAWA) saying, ?O A mad, Verily the good people and the people worthy of a good Hereafter have gentle countenances and much modesty, they possess little foolishness, they are of much benefit and they are seldom deceptive. People are at ease when with them whereas their souls are exhausted on account of them. Their words are balanced, they take account of their souls and exhaust them [through making them perform good]. Their eyes sleep but their hearts do not, their eyes weep and their hearts are remembering. When people are recorded as being neglectful, they are recorded amongst the remembering ones ... Nothing preoccupies them from Allah for a split second. They do not desire much food, neither wish to speak much nor have many clothes. According to them, people are dead and Allah is the Living One, the All-Sustainer.'

Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa [sawa]
Ibid. v. 77, p. 24, no. 6

Question : #630 Category: Business / Investment
Subject: Stocks
Question: Would it be haraam if I invested in stocks ? This investing wouldn't be considered gambling of any sorts?
Answer: Investing in Stock Market in which returns are not guaranteed would be permissible. Such investments, however, could become Haraam because of secondary reasons: like if one invests in a Company that deals in Haraam commodity, such as a Brewery or Casino. The best option for a Muslim investing in Stock Market would be the "ethical funds" since such funds do not deal in alcohol, tobacco, gambling or environmentally harmful products.
