Al Wadhiah is pleased to announce we will be exhibiting at the London Halal Forum 2025 on 20–21 November at ExCeL London. This leading event provides a vital platform for Shariah-compliant finance and Halal industry innovation.

October was a month of recalibration for global markets. After a volatile third quarter, investors entered Q4 searching for clarity on growth, inflation, and policy direction. While sentiment remained cautious, opportunities quietly emerged for those guided by knowledge and trust in Allah.

In September, renewed inflation pressures and diverging central bank actions tested global confidence. Markets shifted between optimism and uncertainty, calling Muslim investors to reaffirm their balance between dunya and akhirah, combining prudence with sincere tawakkul.

August marked a turning point in global markets. With economic indicators showing mixed signals, slowing growth in the West, yet strong activity in parts of Asia, investors faced uncertainty. For Muslim investors, this was not a time for fear but for tawakkul by putting trust in Allah and informed, halal decision-making.

As July unfolded, markets reflected both optimism and caution. Investors worldwide balanced hopes of monetary easing with concerns over persistent geopolitical tensions. For Muslim investors, July was not about chasing quick wins; it was about patience, steadfastness, and investing in halal assets that offer stability and sustainability.

As we closed out the second quarter of 2025, June proved to be a month of strategic recalibration, geopolitical caution, and renewed interest in ethical investments. For Muslim investors, this was not a moment to panic, it was a moment to realign with Shariah-based principles and preserve halal wealth with clarity and confidence.

As the warmth of May unfolded, global markets found themselves dancing between uncertainty and innovation. From the U.S. interest rate pause to geopolitical flare-ups and continued AI dominance, investors had to navigate carefully. For the Muslim investor, this wasn’t just about performance; it was about staying principled amid complexity.

As we closed the door on the first quarter of 2025 and stepped firmly into the second quarter of 2025, global markets offered a mixed blend of optimism, recalibration, and fresh challenges. From AI breakthroughs and inflation anxieties to real estate resilience, investors were called to make thoughtful, value-driven decisions.

As the first quarter of 2025 comes to a close, March brought with it a dynamic blend of opportunities and shifts in the global financial markets. For Muslim investors committed to Shariah-compliant wealth growth, these changes present a moment to reflect, reassess, and realign investment strategies with both faith and financial goals.

The team at Al Wadhiah is pleased to share our enriching experience at the Makkah Halal Forum 2025 (MHF25), a groundbreaking three-day event that signifies a new era in global Halal events. MHF25 offered a comprehensive showcase of premier Halal services and products worldwide, featuring workshops, keynote sessions, discussion panels, live Halal cooking shows, and demonstrations. The forum also provided abundant opportunities for partnerships and collaborations across multiple sectors.

The team at Al Wadhiah is delighted to announce our participation in the upcoming Makkah Halal Forum 2025. As one of the leading events dedicated to the advancement of Halal industries, the forum serves as a pivotal gathering for businesses, thought leaders, and organisations committed to ethical and Shariah-compliant practices. For Al Wadhiah, this event is not just an opportunity to connect but also a platform to contribute to shaping the future of Halal financial services.

At Al Wadhiah, we believe that the true measure of success lies not only in financial growth but in our ability to give back to communities in need. One of our most meaningful initiatives this year has been our partnership with aYmab Mission, a charity dedicated to creating positive change in underserved communities. Together, we are working closely with a small school in Puttalam, Sri Lanka—a place that has touched our hearts deeply.

Below is a summary of the key financial and economic events that have impacted the markets this week. Our goal is to provide you with timely insights to help navigate the volatility and make informed decisions.
