The previous post or this one. As i see it, with this post there should be no dispute. It covers all the possible arguments that can be raised. If you have a problem with this post then i suggest YOU use your grey cells a bit more. If there was a problem with the previous post - as i have explicitly stated. I stand corrected - and i have no shame in saying so. I even went to the level of calling myself stupid :D - so its a learning process. And if i can call myself stupid i do believe that the gyaan coming from you is quite unnecessary. Your comments are appreciated if they add value. @ S Khan - i too strongly feel that more transparency is required. (Hope you have subscribed to WATBlog feeds) @ Sudhir - what is shallow?

Thanks for the update too. Being a muslim, we always are in a confusion that in today's world we have to have a right balance of religion and worldly matters. In terms of investments we have to be careful as to where you are investing, what the company deals with, how is it earning the profits and so on; in short - Shariah compliant. On the other note, interests are Haram. I have heard of Parsoli and they have been tapping the Muslim audience, have received emails from them. Also saw their tie-up with MoneyControl on CNBC. This is a very good initiative taken up by them to cater to the muslim segment. What we still need from them is more transparency in terms of how and where the Islamic Innvestments are done. Muslims will be more than happy to take it up. Some more awareness among the target segment needs to be made about the product. Hi,

Don't just read something shallow and write without using your grey cells. This is called putting one’s foot in one’s mouth.
