Investment for risk averters



Hello readers, how are you all doing? I hope good. Today I will be advising risk averters on how to invest their money. Or are you one of them, yes you?🙃 You know  I would not tell you to put your money in a conventional bank or treasury bills and the likes, I hate interest because Allah hates interest. You should hate it too. 

Staying away from interest in this life will be beneficial in this life and the hereafter as long as you are a practising muslim, mashAllah (what God has willed). They may look good because you know you will get your money back with the interest, well, receiving interest will only lead you to hell-fire if you do not stop collecting it. May Allah protect we muslims from hell-fire, Amin. If you are not a muslim, you should become one. That is the only way to make heaven.

Those conventional banks where some people put their money into lend the money to other people with high interest rates (there should be no interest rate) and do not care whether the people they lend the money make losses or profits, they do not care, they just want their money with interest. I am sure you have heard about people losing their houses because it was used as a collateral for the debt they took. 

That is why you should only invest in halal securities, put your money in an Islamic bank where losses and profit will be shared by both parties. You could analyse the financial statements of the Islamic bank you want to put your money in, (there is nothing wrong with that). Just to know they have been performing well. You should carry out financial analysis for any business or company you want to invest in. I know not everyone will be able to that, I would write an article on it soon, inshaAllah. However, you should still bear in mind that you could lose some money. It sounds like only risk seekers will put money in a savings account in an Islamic bank. But I will advise risk averters  to put money in an Islamic bank too cause conventional banks are a no no.

Gold is another form of investment that is good for risk averters. It appreciates, however it also depreciates if it is purchased with the aim of selling within a short period. However, if you intend to buy and keep it for a long term, it appreciates greatly. You can read my previous article on gold.

Everything should be done seeking the pleasure of Allah. Part of seeking the pleasure means hoping for a reward from Him in this life and the Hereafter. Everything happens according to the will of Allah (you have freewill, therefore, you are responsible for your actions).

Halal means anything lawful Islamically.

Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah). May Allah send peace and blessings to Prophet Muhammed (P.B.U.H). Thank you for reading this article. Like this page on facebook. Keep reading this blog regularly. Cheers!

The saverholic

Image courtesy of dan at FreeDigitalPhotos.net It involves minimal risk saving your money. I always say first save your money in an halal account, once it has reached a particular threshold start investing. The saverholic only saves and saves and saves and cannot afford to take well calculated risks. Because, all you do is to save money. Invest in other markets, the higher the risk the higher the return, diversify your investment portfolio.  All individuals that have achieved financial growth of great heights are risk takers, and they know that some risk might turn out negative but they know is all part of the process. They learn from it and apply it to the next risk they take and eventually they become experts at the risk they take (risk taken should not be excessive(too much uncertainty)). Then they end up having 80% success rates which I think is good enough. Make sure your business is halal.  Give charity regularly from your income, Allah loves charity an...

The need for constant power supply in developing nations

Hello readers, I will be writing about electricity today. I will be using Nigeria as a case study. Electricity is one of the factors that contributes to the success of an organisation. Developed countries have been able to maintain a  constant power supply. If they are able to have constant power then it is achievable. Constant electricity could attract good companies, thereby creating employment opportunities. This could alievate poverty in the developing countries. Thus, the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the economy will improve. The challenge here with having constant power supply is also not to pollute the environment as fossil fuel is mostly used for the supply of electricity. Greener alternatives could be used such as tidal energy and wind energy. In my opinion, electricity could be constant in Nigeria if the industry is privatised. The privitisation of the telephone industry made mobile phone easily accessible by individuals. Most people own a phone, both ...
