How can Muslims build wealth ethically in 2025?

In this eye-opening conversation, Youness Abidou, co-founder of Nester, explains why property has always been the backbone of Muslim wealth but why the traditional path of home ownership is slipping further out of reach. He shares how fractional investing is giving Muslims new ways to grow wealth without falling into debt traps or unethical finance.

Youness breaks down the reality of the UK housing crisis, the principles of Sharia-compliant finance, and the challenges of running a fintech that puts community impact before profit. From non-Muslim investors backing Nester to the power of circulating the Muslim pound, he uncovers both the opportunities and the obstacles ahead.

This is not just about property. It is about building trust, creating halal financial alternatives, and ensuring Muslims invest in each other. It is a call to think long-term, support our institutions, and keep barakah at the heart of wealth building.
