Guide me to the best way to invest my money?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Guide me to the best way to invest my money. May Allah grant you success in all good.

Answer:
Permissible investment is abundant, and the types of permissible investment are many, praise be to Allah. Buying and selling, and trading—whether buying or building apartments or shops for rent, or residences—all of this is good and permissible investment, as is agriculture and planting trees. All of this is permissible investment and good earnings, provided it is accompanied by truthfulness and the absence of deception. Likewise, if you give money to a trustworthy, honest person to trade with, to buy and sell, and the profit that results is shared between you and him according to what you agree upon, this is the Sharia-compliant profit-sharing partnership (mudarabah). Also, establishing companies—establishing productive companies such as cement factories, iron factories, paper factories, printing presses, or others—all of this is good and permissible investment, praise be to Allah. Yes.
