Helping You Build and Manage Your Business with Clarity, Sincerity, and Shariah-aligned Guidance — Every Step of The Way.
in the Financial Sector
Barakah Advisory & Accountancy was founded to bridge the gap between professional accounting and the principles of Islamic finance.
We help Muslim business owners make financial decisions that are compliant with both Shariah and UK law — ensuring their work is managed with sincerity, clarity, and trust.
Our goal is to make Shariah-aligned accounting and advisory the norm — not the exception.
Our ethos reflects the principles that guide how we work, serve, and support every client.
We aim to embody Prophetic character, like Ihsaan and Amanah, in everything we do — offering support that goes beyond numbers, toward clarity and ethical alignment in your financial life.
After 7 years of working in professional accounting firms – mainly operated by other Muslims, and spending time learning from scholars, I realised there was an opportunity to bring my professional experience with khidmah — as service to the Ummah of the Prophet ﷺ. Particularly because for Muslim entrepreneurs, financial and legal compliance alone is not enough.
During my professional journey, I was blessed to have close contact with people of Islamic knowledge who could clarify and advise me on work-related Shariah issues — often as and when required.
Over time, I realised that many Muslims also shared the same queries about permissibility of certain work, ethically doubtful tasks, zakat calculations, and other related matters. However, I was left with the following question: where do Muslim entrepreneurs acquire relevant Islamic knowledge and applicable Shariah guidance?
Previously to this point, I had felt a growing tension: although I was studying the Islamic sciences for several years now, I felt as if I was not meaningfully impacting others in my work.
I recall one of my teachers mentioning that one of the greatest opportunities for worship, as highlighted by Imam al-Ghazali in The Beginning of Guidance, is to direct one’s work towards service of others. This stayed with me up until I even contemplated a career change. I didn’t want to continue along the same path that could lead to regret years later due spending a significant portion of my life in meaningless work.
And so, I deliberated: how could I direct my work towards serving others?
Perhaps, I simply needed to re-orient how I perceived my work and who I can help instead given the opportunity for an integration between financial accounting and Shariah law.
Alhamdulillah, Allah (Most High) directed me towards the idea that has now become Barakah Advisory & Accountancy: a place where businesses can meet their accounting needs while also receiving Shariah-aware support — from: zakat calculations and transaction screening; to ethical product alternatives; and spiritually aligned guidance.
My hope is simply to serve Muslim Entrepreneurs with professionalism, sincerity, and genuine concern — so their work and, finances, and decisions are rooted in barakah.
To fulfil this goal, my studies and development remain an ongoing journey — through: traditional Islamic studies; Islamic finance training (including AAOIFI-aligned learning and National Zakat Foundation frameworks); Accountancy studies; and a commitment to continuous improvement.
