Bringing together Wahed’s global expertise in Islamic fields fintech The initiative aims to leverage asset management with Awqaf’s investment expertise in Shariah and endowment monitoring to create a smarter and more efficient approach for Shariah-compliant screening and analysis of stocks listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange (QSE).
The project will support Awqaf’s efforts to leverage cutting-edge technology and digital innovation, in line with the ministry’s strategic plan (2025-2030), which focuses on digital transformation, artificial intelligence technologies, institutional innovation, performance efficiency, and sustainability. This is also in line with Qatar National Vision 2030 and the country’s broader transition to a knowledge-based economy.
The platform combines AI-driven stock screening, natural language processing (NLP), financial metrics and ratio analysis, and bilingual Arabic and English interfaces to support Awqaf’s internal investment evaluation process. Features in development include dividend screening, historical Shariah compliance tracking, risk-based analysis, and an AI-assisted Shariah screening support chatbot for internal use.
By combining financial data analysis, compliance monitoring, and intelligent screening capabilities, the platform is expected to enhance the speed, consistency, and scalability of investment analysis, strengthen governance and transparency in endowment investment management, and provide institutional-level insights that support decision-making based on solid Islamic law and financial foundations.
At the signing ceremony, Mohamed Abdullah Al Halmi, Director of Investment at the General Directorate of Endowments, said that this project is an important step in advancing endowment activities. “This initiative heralds a new era in the donation business that combines Shariah authenticity with technological innovation.” he said.
“This partnership reflects our commitment to leveraging technology with the principles of Islamic finance.” said Khalid Al Jassim, Executive Chairman of WahedMENA. “By working with Awqaf, we are taking a meaningful step towards making Shariah-compliant investment intelligence more accurate, accessible and scalable.”
This initiative represents a significant step forward in the implementation of artificial intelligence in Islamic asset management. Once completed, the platform will serve as a model for donor agencies, asset managers, sovereign bodies, and financial institutions looking to integrate AI into their Shariah-compliant investment processes.
