Dubai-based neo-broker amana said on Tuesday that it has partnered with Zoya to add real-time Shariah-compliance screening inside its trading app, targeting users across the Middle East.
The integration adds a blue crescent moon icon beside assets that meet Shariah standards, along with tap-to-view certification details, including the certifying authority. A dedicated Sharia-only category now appears in the app’s Search and For You tabs, turning compliance into a discovery filter.
The screening runs on Zoya’s API, which the software provider launched in 2023 to help partners create Shariah-compliant financial products more quickly and at a lower cost. Zoya says it screens stocks through business activity and financial checks under the guidance of its Shariah advisors.
“We built this system to remove the guesswork,” said Muhammad Rasoul, CEO of amana. “Investors and traders deserve clarity, confidence, and the ability to align their decisions with their values.”
amana says it has more than 500,000 users across the Middle East and gives access to more than 6,800 assets, among them 1,200+ MENA stocks, U.S. equities, metals, ETFs, and FX.
