Screening Methodology
HalalScreener
AAOIFI Standard No. 21
Uses the globally recognized AAOIFI standard, the gold standard for Shariah-compliant investing. Both qualitative (business activity) and quantitative (financial ratio) screens are applied with transparent thresholds.
Islamicly vs Zoya
AAOIFI (Islamicly) / AAOIFI by default (Zoya)
Islamicly and Zoya both state that they follow AAOIFI (Zoya lets paying subscribers switch to other index standards). HalalScreener applies AAOIFI Standard No. 21 and publishes every threshold openly, so you can check the reasoning behind each verdict.
HalalScreener Advantages
- Free tier available (Islamicly has no free option at all)
- Ratio details on the free tier: see the debt ratio and grade, not just a pass or fail status
- Full AAOIFI No. 21 methodology published openly
- AI-powered compliance insights explain WHY a stock passes or fails
- Developer API, Telegram bot: tools neither competitor offers
- Full Arabic language support for MENA investors
- 7-day free trial, cancel anytime
- Verdicts inside Claude and ChatGPT through the HalalScreener MCP connector (Premium), which neither site lists
- Sunni and Shia rulings side by side in the AI Scholar
Islamicly vs Zoya Strengths
- Islamicly has an integrated investment platform (buy/sell directly)
- Zoya has a polished native mobile app (iOS & Android)
- Both have been around longer and have established communities
The Verdict
Between Islamicly and Zoya, Zoya is the stronger of the two thanks to its free tier and mobile app, though at $14.99/mo it is also the most expensive. HalalScreener beats both: the lowest price at $9.99/mo, ratio details on the free tier, a transparent AAOIFI No. 21 methodology, AI insights, developer tools, Arabic support, and a 7-day free trial. The clear choice for serious Muslim investors.
