Ep 95. Halal Investing in the AI Age | Mujtaba Khalid

The $6 trillion Islamic finance market faces an existential tension: it was built to champion equitable risk-sharing, yet it remains heavily dominated by rigid, rule-based legal screening. Can artificial intelligence resolve this bottleneck? Can advanced machine learning models move beyond basic compliance checklists to automate substantive, purpose-driven ethical screening?In this episode of Majlis & Markets, host Hassan Jivraj sits down with Mujtaba Khalid for an executive briefing on the intersection of Halal Value Investing and generative AI. We strip away the fintech marketing jargon to analyse how algorithmic frameworks are actively reshaping portfolio optimisation, equity screening, and asset management across the MENA region.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------🚀 MUJTABA KHALID'S PLATFORMS & TOOLS• Access the live Maqasid Equity Dashboard (Use Access Code: MK-Maqasid786):  https://mujtabak-maqasid-equity-dashboard.hf.space/?access=MK-Maqasid786• Explore the official Bagh-e platform:  https://www.bagh-e.com/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------📌 RELATED ARCHIVE & REFERENCE EPISODESIf you are tracking the structural evolution of global ethical markets, catch up on our definitive reference sessions:• Watch our industry critique with Farukh Raza analysing Pakistan’s transition to an interest-free economy:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2iaMjvFJ9s• Watch our foundational industry critique featuring Dr Ryan Calder:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSZW-OpRFXM&t=1960s• Listen to our pilot audio masterclass on Buzzsprout:   https://majlisandmarkets.buzzsprout.com/1907033/episodes/14019052-pilot-episode-a-deep-dive-into-the-history-and-practice-of-islamic-finance-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------💡 KEY THEMES ANALYSED IN THIS EPISODE:• Halal Value Investing: How deep learning systems and algorithmic indexing filter corporate equity data at unprecedented velocity.• Automated Maqasid Screening: Assessing the structural shift from binary legal checklists to sophisticated, objective-driven ethical evaluations.• Code vs. Scholarship: Evaluating the systemic limitations of AI in replicating the highly coordinated, human negotiation required by elite Sharia boards.Who should listen?
