About Barakah Insider
Barakah Insider is a digital news platform dedicated to telling the stories of Muslim startups, innovators, and changemakers from around the world. It was created to spotlight the founders, products, and ideas shaping the future of the global Muslim community, across sectors like halal industries, Islamic finance, technology, education, health, media, and social impact.
Who we are
Barakah Insider exists at the intersection of entrepreneurship, faith-inspired values, and real-world innovation. It is built for founders, operators, investors, ecosystem builders, and curious readers who want a deeper, more nuanced view of how Muslims are building, creating, and solving problems globally.
Grounded in journalistic rigour, the platform aims to provide thoughtful coverage that is informed, balanced, and rooted in lived experience rather than stereotypes or surface-level narratives.
What we cover
Barakah Insider focuses on early and growth-stage ventures that are:
- Muslim-founded or co-founded.
- Building products and services for Muslim users, markets, or the wider Islamic economy.
- Clearly aligned with ethical and halal principles, with a focus on impact, justice, and responsibility.
Through news, features, interviews, analysis, and curated resources, Barakah Insider covers:

Why we exist
Muslim founders and innovators are building important products and companies, yet their journeys are often underreported or misunderstood. Barakah Insider was started to fill this gap: to document these stories, connect ecosystems, and provide context around the trends shaping Muslim-led innovation.
The platform strives to highlight not only business success but also intention, ethics, and impact—how founders think about purpose, barakah, and responsibility alongside growth and scale.

- Story-first: Focus on people, journeys, and lessons, not just headlines.
- Impact-aware: Pay attention to how products and ventures affect communities, not only valuations.
- Ethically grounded: Reflect Islamic values such as honesty, fairness, stewardship, and service in how stories are selected and told.
Content includes:
- Founder and team profiles.
- In-depth feature stories and ecosystem pieces.
- Reviews and spotlights of products, apps, and platforms.
- Thematic series on sectors like Islamic fintech, halal tech, education, or social enterprises.
