Before making an investment, it’s essential to understand the process of Halal Investments. This knowledge will enable you to adhere to Sharia principles in business and earn profits with peace of mind. If you are committed to Halal investment, understanding these rules is mandatory.
The initial step in investing is to establish an agreement. Key elements of this agreement include: (i) the duration of the investment, (ii) the profit-sharing ratio, and (iii) the refund notice period. Both the investor and the company must strictly adhere to these guidelines to ensure the investment remains Halal. Violating these rules will render the investment non-Halal.
Â
For example, both the parties agree to invest (i) for the duration of 6 months, (ii) with the profit-sharing ratio of 70% (investor share) : 30% (company share) and (iii) with the refund notice period of 1 month. Then, under any circumstance both the parties should abide by this agreement. The investor should not demand refund of amount in the middle of the duration of investment.
Once you invest, the amount is spent on various aspects to operate business and earn profits. Investment expenditures in a business are vital for growth and efficiency. The investment amount may be invested on (1) setup of business which includes acquiring of office or store space, interiors, electrical works, furniture etc… (2) expansion of business like adding new infrastructure to the office or store (3) purchase of equipment’s and products required for business (4) Research and Development (R&D) focuses on new products and innovations (5) Human Resources spending includes recruitment, training, and employee benefits, essential for a skilled workforce (6) Marketing and Sales investments go toward advertising, branding, and market research to boost market presence and revenue (7) Information Technology (IT) expenditures involve software, hardware, and cybersecurity to ensure efficient operations (8) Working capital which is very important and covers day-to-day expenses like inventory management (9) Legal and compliance costs ensure adherence to regulations.

Sales and revenue are critical components of any successful business. Sales involve the process of selling products or services to customers, generating income through transactions. Effective sales strategies focus on understanding customer needs, offering compelling value propositions, and building strong relationships.
Â
Revenue is the total income generated from sales, reflects a company’s financial health and ability to grow. Maximizing sales and revenue requires a combination of market research, skilled sales teams, targeted marketing efforts, and continuous improvement based on performance data and customer feedback. Together, sales and revenue drive business sustainability and profitability.
After earning revenues, managing expenditures becomes pivotal for maintaining financial health and sustaining business operations. Expenditures encompass various categories essential to daily operations and growth. Operational expenses include salaries, rent, utilities, and inventory procurement, ensuring smooth functioning of business activities. Marketing and sales expenditures cover advertising campaigns, promotional activities, and sales commissions, vital for attracting and retaining customers. Technology investments in software, equipment, and maintenance support operational efficiency and innovation. Research and development costs fuel product enhancements and market research efforts, crucial for staying competitive.

Administrative expenses encompass legal fees, office supplies, and professional services, essential for regulatory compliance and efficient administration. Debt repayment obligations, including loan payments and credit line management, ensure financial stability and credibility. Tax payments are vital responsibilities to government authorities, requiring meticulous financial planning. Businesses also allocate funds for savings, emergency reserves, and strategic investments to foster future growth opportunities. Effective expenditure management involves budgeting, cash flow monitoring, cost control measures, and robust financial reporting to optimize resources and maintain profitability.

Collectively, these investments drive business growth, enhance efficiency, and maintain competitiveness.
Profits are earned after expenditures when a business generates revenue that exceeds its total expenses. Revenue primarily comes from sales of products or services, supplemented by other income sources like rental income. To determine profitability, expenses such as the cost of goods sold (COGS), operational costs (salaries, rent, utilities), depreciation, and taxes are deducted from total revenue.
Â
The resulting figure represents different levels of profit:
– Gross Profit: Revenue minus COGS, indicating profitability from core operations.
– Operating Profit: Gross profit minus operational expenses, revealing earnings before taxes.
– Net Profit: Operating profit further reduced taxes, and other expenses, representing the final profitability after all costs.
Â
Businesses monitor profit margins to assess efficiency and financial health, ensuring revenues consistently exceed expenditures. Profitable outcomes allow for easy profit distribution among investors, reinvestment in growth initiatives, debt reduction, or reserves for future investments, fostering long-term sustainability and competitiveness in the market.
A committed Halal investor approaches this process with careful consideration and practices patience throughout to foster business growth and achieve authentic profits. Therefore, Halal Investments India encourages all our investors to continually revisit and comprehend the intricacies of business operations. Many investors focus solely on investment returns and profits, without assuming responsibility for business processes or potential losses, which contradicts the principles of Halal business. In contrast, genuine Halal investors fully grasp the business process, steadfastly support the company through challenges, and prioritize earning Halal profits exclusively.
